The shoot will continue in North London until May, with six new episodes airing this autumn, followed by a Christmas special in December.

Writer Robert Popper (Peep Show, The IT Crowd) commented: “Having spent the past eight months in almost solitary confinement as I wrote the show, I’m so excited to be out the house again amongst living human beings. Friday Night Dinner was such a thrill to make last year, and I’m chomping at the bit to start again. And by ‘chomping at the bit’, I mean I am actually wearing a horse’s harness right now, which I am chewing manically, in excitement.”
