It will be the first BBC One sitcom for Kay, who stars in and directs all six half-hour episodes.

He plays a supermarket worker who is forced to commute with a colleague as part of a company car-share scheme.

Sian Gibson is Kay's co-commuter Kayleigh Kitson.

Kay 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."

BBC One controller Danny Cohen added: "It is hugely exciting that Peter Kay is coming to BBC One with his new series - even more so with the innovative plan we have to launch the show online."
