COMEDIAN Peter Kay has hit the road again — for a brand new BBC1 comedy series.

The Bolton funnyman will star in a six-part series called Car Share, about two colleagues who have been thrown together in a company car share scheme.

Peter was spotted filming scenes for the new show in Altrincham.

He was seen filming in John Leigh Park and down nearby Oldfield Road, and was dressed in suitable office attire, in a suit, with a blue shirt and tie and a name badge pinned to his suit jacket.

This is the first Peter Kay sitcom for BBC One and will be directed by the comic.

It will be premiered on BBC iPlayer — the first show to ever do this — before being broadcast on BBC1.

Peter co-stars alongside Sian Gibson, with the pair playing colleagues John and Kayleigh in the show, which has been created by Tim Reid and Paul Coleman.

He said: “To be finally working with the BBC on a new comedy is a great opportunity.

“And 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."

The BBC have commissioned six 30-minute episodes of the sitcom.

Danny Cohen, controller of BBC1, said: "It is hugely exciting that Peter Kay is coming to BBC1 with his new series — even more so with the innovative plan we have to launch the show online."

Shane Allen, the station’s controller of comedy commissioning, said: "Everyone adores Peter. It’s bold and exciting for him to head in a more naturalistic comedy direction with this project.

“It will be a nifty new addition to his incredible body of work and the way it is being launched is very canny.”
