The first episode of the Peter Kay show will feature musings on garlic bread - "Garlic bread is the future, I've tasted it!" It will also feature Max and Paddy flattening a cow, and a talent night down at the Phoenix Club.

The second series of his Comedy Shuffle went out last summer and included part of his stand-up routine where he imagines telling the hardships of his youth to future generations. “40 years from now... ‘I tell you, you don’t know you were born, all me and your mam had in the evenings was Sky Digital!,” he joked in the routine.
