Featuring sketches, songs, characters and guests, the six-part series will air early next year.

The official synopsis reveals: “What other show on TV would bring you a song and dance number, The Incredible Moose Human, The Great Spagboletti, A Fictional Northern Man, John Lennon’s Head, The Perspective Twins, some performance poetry, Wendy Wilson’s White Coat Window On The World Of World Wide Wonders, a sketch with a doctor in it and Hitler, and still not be halfway through the first episode?”

Kevin Eldon’s credits includes Brass Eye, Big Train, I’m Alan Partridge, Smack The Pony and Nighty Night.

Cheryl Taylor, Controller Comedy Commissioning, commented: “Kevin Eldon is a very special comedian indeed and we’re delighted to have the opportunity to showcase his many talents on BBC Two.”

Eldon added: “I have always liked chaffinches. The money I may receive from this show may well allow me buy more pictures of chaffinches.”
