Earlier this month, two new episodes of Peter Kay’s Car Share were screened at a charity event, the comedian making a rare public appearance at the Blackpool event.
Kay has since confirmed that both episodes will be broadcast by the BBC, the first – a one-off unscripted episode – showing on 7 May at 10pm on BBC One.
Fans lucky enough to see the unscripted episode at the Blackpool screening reportedly branded it “pure genius”.
Since then, Kay has played a character in ITV’s Cradle to Grave and cameoed in Inside No 9.
