Peter Kay is one of the best-known comedians in the UK and has provided the nation with plenty of laughs over the years. Tonight, as his Comedy Shuffle was back on screen, viewers were grateful for tonight’s offering, remarking it was “definitely needed” amid the spread of COVID-19.
The series, which returned for its fourth season today, offers highlights of some of Peter’s most iconic work.
It showcases his well-known characters, such as Geraldine McQueen as well as TV interviews and appearances.
Tonight’s episode featured clips from some of his much-loved TV appearances as he set out to make the nation laugh.
One scene saw him hijack The One Show, turning cameraman, much to the worry of host Alex Jones as he caused carnage in the studio.
He also joined by friend Paddy McGuinness for a clip of their stint on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, with the latter adamant they could not use any lifelines.
