‘Peter Kay’s Car Share’ will return for an audio-only episode.
A special edition of the 46-year-old comedian’s sitcom – which he co-stars in alongside Sian Gibson – will be available on BBC iPlayer on Friday (10.04.20), and he hopes that the show can cheer people up amid the coronavirus crisis.
He said said: "It’s a horrific situation right now we’re all going through and like so many I felt compelled to try and do something positive in an effort to cheer people in some way.
"Sian Gibson, Paul Coleman and myself got together via t’internet and wrote a new short episode of Car Share in an effort to try cheer people up.
"It’s all happened very quickly, in fact it didn’t exist a week ago. Obviously we weren’t able to film anything because of the lockdown but I hope people will use their imagination and enjoy listening.
"I’ve given the episode to the good people at BBC iPlayer and it’ll be available to listen from Good Friday 10th April.
"Here’s hoping people enjoy having John & Kayleigh back. Lord knows we need it right now."
The popular sitcom ran for two series between 2015 and 2017, with a two-part finale airing in 2018.
It followed supermarket assistant manager John (Peter) and his colleague Kayleigh (Sian) as they took part in a company car-sharing scheme.
The ‘Phoenix Nights’ star is also set to return to TV for the first time in two years for charity show ‘The Big Night In’.
Peter is part of star-studded ensemble taking part in the programme, which is a joint effort between BBC charity telethons Children in Need and Comic Relief to raise spirits during the coronavirus pandemic.
