08/05/2009 - 16:42
Dawn French is to star in a new comedy series about the lives of a middle-aged couple when they return home at the end of the working day.
The six-part series, called Roger And Val Have Just Got In, will air on BBC Two later this year.
Casting for the actor to star opposite Dawn French is on-going.
Mark Freeland, head of comedy at the BBC, said: "Roger And Val leapt off the page at me the very first time I saw it.
"There will be nothing like it when it arrives on BBC Two. It's original, intriguing, sweet, funny and full of pathos. And it's only got two people in it."
