MURDER, THEY HOPE: FIRST LOOK AT GOLD COMEDY

Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson will reunite for a new three-part series for UKTV channel GOLD.

Titled 'Murder They Hope', the series finds Gemma and Terry seemingly turning their back on their coach tour business to become fully-fledged private detectives. Each episode will be written by Jason Cook.

This commission follows GOLD's previous specials including 2017's Murder On The Blackpool Express, 2018's Death On The Tyne and 2019's Dial M For Middlesbrough.

Writer Jason Cook commented: "It's going to be amazing to be back with Terry and Gemma and this time for a series! Having multiple episodes has really let us go to town in creating a world of eccentric characters and big adventures for my favourite ex-coach driving detectives!"

Pete Thornton, UKTV's Head Of Scripted, says: "It's a huge pleasure to be bringing fans of this much-loved series not one but three brand new adventures for our fearless, and generally clueless, heroes Terry and Gemma this year. Each story is very different in its own way, but they are all busting with Jason Cook's trademark mixture of a satisfying 'whodunnit' with proper laugh out loud comedy. We're very excited to be bringing Johnny Vegas, Sian Gibson and the brilliant creative team at Shiny Button back together for this new series and we can't wait to see the fruits of their labours."

The series will air this May on GOLD.
