BBC One is repeating all 12 episodes of Peter Kay’s Car Share from Friday 15 May. The episodes will also be available as a box set on BBC iPlayer.

This follows the overwhelmingly positive response to the release of a special audio-only episode of Car Share exclusively on BBC iPlayer.

The multi-award-winning, series starring Peter Kay and Sian Gibson, was first broadcast in 2015, and went on to win more than 15 major awards, including three National Television Awards and two Baftas.

There have been over 34.8m requests across all episodes of Car Share on BBC iPlayer to date.

Peter Kay says: “I’m thrilled, it really couldn’t be shown at a better time.”

Shane Allen, Controller of BBC Comedy, says: “Car Share was one of the major comedy hits of the last decade and is just the tonic for our times, as we join John and Kayleigh on their laughter-filled journeys to work and also towards one another’s hearts.”

The series will air at 9.30pm from Friday 15 May on BBC One. All 12 episodes will also be made available from 15 May on BBC iPlayer.
