Johnny Vegas and Car Share actress Sian Gibson have signed up to star in a murder-mystery comedy.
Vegas, 46, plays a coach driver and Gibson, 40, a tour guide in Murder On The Blackpool Express, a comedy take on Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries.
The pair are caught up in a deadly conspiracy when their passengers start dying one by one.
Comedian Vegas said: “If the script read-through is anything to go by, this is not only going to be immense fun to film, but a real treat for comedy lovers and whodunnits alike.
“Brilliant casting and laugh-out loud writing, what’s not to be excited about?”
Gibson, who shot to fame in Peter Kay’s Car Share, said: “I’m so excited to be involved in a murder mystery! The script is very funny and it’s such a pleasure to be working with Johnny and such a wonderful cast.”
“Each of them could star in their own show, so we’ve been truly lucky to assemble such a team of comedy royalty.”
Directed by Simon Delaney, whose credits include Cold Feet, Stella and Lead Balloon, Murder On The Blackpool Express will air on Gold later this year.
