Part of HBO's new comedy slate - which all sounds like it should significantly better something like Animals - Crashing comes from comedian Pete Holmes and director Judd Apatow.

Created and written by Holmes, whose talent has long felt deserving of a bigger platform, it'll centre on a comedian whose wife leaves him for an Italian boxer named Rocco, while he tries to make it in the New York comedy scene.

It'll be interesting to see how Holmes works as the leading man in his own scripted show, but the guiding hand of Judd Apatow - who has had some TV successes in recent years with Girls and Love - should certainly help.
