PETER KAY'S CAR SHARE UNSCRIPTED: It seems an understatement to use 'much anticipated' to describe the return of this BBC One hit. Ahead of a series finale on the late May bank holiday, this entirely improvised episode will feature Peter Kay and Sian Gibson ad-libbing as John and Kayleigh on their daily commute. And in a sign of the show's popularity, the BBC has shifted the Ten O'Clock News to 10.30pm to accommodate it. When this one-off was announced late last year, Kay said: 'We were always very fond of ad libbing around the script when we were filming the series so we decided to see what would happen if we took the script away and just relied on just our chemistry alone, reacting to whatever came on the radio.' And Gibson says: 'We were always laughing, and nearly all of the laughter you see in Car Share is completely genuine. Peter knows how to make me laugh with just a look - so he constantly makes me giggle.'BBC One 10pm
