Danny Dyer is back in his Bafta award-winning role as larger-than-life Lee Campbell in a second season of Mr Bigstuff.
The Sky comedy show follows the exploits of estranged brothers Lee and Glen Campbell, and this season they are on a mission to track down the father they thought was dead.
Created by and starring Ryan Sampson as Glen, Mr Bigstuff takes a wry look at families, masculinity, and small-town suburban life with the help of some big characters.
Describing the idea for the series, Sampson said: “Part of the conceit is that it starts with this tiny scenario and then it gets bigger and bigger until it goes to a place you just wouldn’t foresee.”
This comedy series promises to stay in the same vein with one badly timed kiss and a mysterious blackmailer threatening to bring their world crashing down.

Speaking about the filming, Dyer said: “Ryan set it in Loughton, where I live, but we never actually filmed anywhere in Loughton.
“We filmed it around Dagenham.
“Dagenham’s a fascinating place, good people. We got a lot of love.
“We shot at the old Ford for a bit. This amazing – it’s like a f***ing town in itself, where they make the old motors and stuff.
“I always love working in London. I’m such a Londoner at heart.
“And it’s so rare that you get to work in London because it’s so expensive and difficult to film.
“To branch out and go to Dagenham and Essex was great. I’ve got a lot of fans out that way and they always treat me with love and respect.”
