Why you must jump into Car Share on BBC One

Peter Kay's newest venture is a return to sitcom. Car Share which, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on is getting an airing on the iPlayer before starting on BBC One on Wednesday, might be my favourite new BBC comedy for a long time.

TV preview: Peter Kay's Car Share, iPlayer/BBC1

The return of Peter Kay to TV sitcomland is an undeniable event, but this is a weird one. The whole series of Car Share is going to be available on iPlayer for a limited period and then shortly after that it starts on BBC One, old school.

TV preview: Peter Kay's Car Share - BBC One

Northern wag's new project is like The Royle Family in a motor.

Brian Donaldson, The List, 20th April 2015

The BBC has taken the slightly odd decision to premiere this new Peter Kay sitcom on the iPlayer before its eventual transfer to BBC1. The concept is simple: Kay's John and his colleague Kayleigh have been paired up as part of their company's travel buddy scheme. What sparks will fly? It's best at its most humdrum: the idea of a woman squirting urine all over her driver on the first day is a stretch but as the relationship begins to breathe, a more sweetly naturalistic atmosphere develops. Worth sticking with, although it's hard to avoid the blatantly looming romantic subtext.
