He said: "This mini-series was actually planned for 2021. Having been thwarted twice, firstly by Covid-19 and then by a post Covid shortage of studios, it’s fantastic to, at last, have the chance to make it happen. The comic actor added: "Fasten your seatbelts and hold onto your hats!”
He told TV mag: “We were hoping to do a mini-series last year, just four episodes to celebrate 100 years of the BBC. But Covid got in the way. Not Covid itself, but as soon as the lockdowns were lifted, everybody was rushing for venues.
