Peter Kay’s comedy vehicle

Really interesting news from the BBC. They have confirmed that several shows, including a brand new comedy from United Kingdom stand up comedian Peter Kay, will premiere not on telecast, but through the digital catch up service named1 the BBC iPlayer.

‘Car Share,’ the comedy vehicle of Peter Kay, will be the very first show by BBC to hit online before getting a terrestrial telecast. This is a part of a bundle of forty hours of TV that will be seen first on iPlayer. The time when podcasting started, the BBC was really very strict on podcasting programs over the air.

No ‘new’ programs could go as a podcast, because this was calculated as distorting the United Kingdom market. With the BBC funded by a compulsory television licensing fee it has to be really careful not to abuse the spot that experimenting with brand new technology as well as create new markets.

Now, it appears that the concern is no longer valid. The iPlayer is turning into a way of life very fast in the United Kingdom, and its addition on any desktop or mobile operating system offers said OS a badge of credibility. This is one of the few applications which is simply anticipated to be everywhere. But unlike owning a television, watching shows on iPlayer’s catch up service does not needed the purchase of the license (priced at £145 per year, at present) as the television license is just for seeing live programs.

Peter Kay to travel across UK on a sofa

In the past Comic Relief challenges have seen celebs, trek deserts or run marathons to raise money for worthy cause. But now, British comedian Peter Kay started on what could be termed as the easiest fund raising cause. Peter Kay would not show his athletic powers, rather the thirty nine year old comedian would travel across the United Kingdom on the back of a sofa to help in charity fund raising.

The comedian would hardly have to work too much as he tours the whole country while sat on a sofa for Peter Kay Sit Down for Comic Relief campaign. Peter appeared to be in his element as he flump himself on perfectly themed red sofa, looking comical in a white tracksuitalong with red gilet as well as fur hat.

After getting ready for the day with a bacon sandwich and coffee, Peter was joined on the motorized sofa by James’ lead singer Tim Booth and a number of people piling up money from local people. He even managed to make people smile by playing a pretend guitar that is made out of 2 shovels as he hit the roads.

Peter Kay has always been a big supporter of Comic Relief event for the last few years, and in the year 2005, he unveiled Is This The Way To Amarillo along with Tony Christie to collect money for charity, selling 1.31 million copies as well as stayed at the top of charts for around 7 weeks.
In the mean time, fellow comedian Miranda Hart has stated that she would take part in BT Red Nose Challenge – Miranda’s Mad March that would see her finish a crazy job in a different city each day for 5 days.
