John and Kayleigh are forced to take the morning off work due to the death of a long-standing colleague, the trolley pusher Old Ted. Kayleigh quizzes John about his funeral, but he says at 39, he's never thought about that. Kayleigh's friendship with her elderly next door neighbour Ken becomes a hot topic when Kayleigh misunderstands the definition of "dogging", assuming it means walking a dog. She insists the new trolley wrangler will never replace Old Ted, but when she sees him, he sparks some interest from her. On 2 May 2017, Kay announced that there would not be a third series or a Christmas special, however, [13] on 17 November 2017, it was announced that a final episode would be broadcast in 2018, in addition to a one-off unscripted episode. [14] Reception [ edit ] BBC One commissions Peter Kay sitcom which will premiere on BBC iPlayer". BBC Media Centre. BBC. 25 March 2013 . Retrieved 28 April 2015.As they travel to and from work, John and Kayleigh listen to Forever FM; a fictitious radio station which has music alternating with terrible advertisements and promotions. In each episode, one or both of them (mostly Kayleigh) daydream about them creating a music video-style fantasy performance of a song played on the radio. After moving in with her sister Mandy and her family, Kayleigh is now travelling to work on her own by bus and train, but cannot resist temptation and repeatedly calls John. Eventually, after many phone calls between them, John secretly gives Kayleigh the directions to his car and the pair are reunited. After a bout of road rage, a video is produced of John verbally abusing and threatening a cyclist which goes viral, much to the amusement of Kayleigh. It is raining after work so John offers her a lift home, where he meets and bonds with her brother in law Steve ( Guy Garvey) who is obsessed with bikes, and tells Kayleigh he will keep giving her lifts to work every morning even though it will take him an extra 45 minutes to do so. The series was commissioned in 2013 by the BBC, and was initially made available on BBC iPlayer. [5] Inspiration for the show, for co-creators Tim Reid and Paul Coleman, included Alfred Molina and Dawn French in the BBC's Roger & Val Have Just Got In and The Smoking Room. Paul Coleman pitched the idea to Peter Kay, whom he had previously worked with on Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere. [6] Forever FM Playlist: Sophie B.
