Following a Radio 4 series since 2005, Count Arthur Strong made the transfer to television earlier this month.

Shane Allen, Controller, Comedy Commissioning, commented: “It’s a huge privilege to see Count Arthur Strong return. The combined talents of Graham Linehan, Steve Delaney and Rory Kinnear are too irresistible. This series has all the hallmarks of a BBC Two comedy classic with its superb character at the heart of it, brilliant writing and a dream supporting cast. Long may Arthur cause chaos around him.”
