Paddy Power betting offices and online services may have been flat to the boards this week with the Euro’s Royal Ascot and the US Open but they still found time to launch The Var Room, a new four-part sitcom series that debuted on Virgin Media Two this week.

It charts the imagined goings-on at VAR HQ in Stockley Park over the course of last season.

Written by in house content creators Steven Quick and Noel Slevin the show is a first-time appearance for the brand’s content on free to air mainstream TV.

The show will run for the next three Wednesday’s and is also streaming on the Paddy power YouTube Channel. It will be streamed on Amazon Prime later this month.

Teddy Sheringham, Alan Curbishley and Paul Ince all make appearances as does former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg.

VAR decisions can often have you in tears as a fan but hopefully, this will bring a lighter side to them.

 

Paddy power and Virgin Media are among the 250+ members of the Sport for Business network of sporting and business organisations working together across a number of key areas.
