Kay stars in iPlayer comedy
Comedian Peter Kay, left, is to star in a new sitcom which will be the first BBC series to be shown in its entirety on catch-up service iPlayer before hitting television screens.
Car Share will feature the Bolton-born comic as a supermarket worker called John, thrown together with a female colleague in a company car share scheme.
The six-episode series, the first Kay sitcom for BBC One, is set in north-west England, where it will also be filmed.

Hide AdKay, 39, said: “The idea of two people car sharing to work each day really appealed to me, as it highlights the comedy in the minutiae of the daily trek and allows the spiralling conversations of life to unwind in all of their glory.”
