Expect a spanking new line-up of characters, among them Brabbins and Fyffe, the filthy alter-egos of Flanders and Swann; the divorced dad, who gives his son brutally honest answers to innocent questions; the inappropriate dentist, who regales his captive audience with tales of swinger parties and the state of his pet dog's prostate; and Tony and Dimitri, a hapless football manager and his Russian oligarch boss.

Wince at the near-the-knuckle instructions of a politically incorrect sat nav, and marvel at the very existence of Pru and Miranda, two fat ladies with the difference that they can't either cook or run Dandy Lion's, their brain-meltingly inefficient vegetarian restaurant in Hampstead.

Add to that nearly a hundred other characters and Armstrong and Miller's exquisite nose for the absurd and you have a show that will thrill their loyal audience from Channel 4 and win over a whole new generation of fans on 91Èȱ¬ One.
