SHOW bosses have confirmed the date Danny Dyer’s new comedy show will air on Sky Max – and it’s only days away.
The former EastEnders actor joined forces with Brassic star Ryan Sampson for Mr Bigstuff.
Ryan created the brand new series, which centers around two estranged brothers, Glen and Lee.
Danny plays the role of Lee – an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction.
Meanwhile his co-star Ryan steps into the shoes of Glen, a nervous perfectionist and carpet salesman.
Sky has revealed that the sitcom will start airing on Wednesday, July 17 at 9pm.
In the series Glen and his fiancee Kirsty are striving for the perfect suburban life.
Despite Glen’s erectile dysfunction and Kirsty’s secret shoplifting habit, they enjoy a content existence together.
But their world is turned upside down when Lee arrives on the scene, fleeing from a bad past that is quickly catching up with him.
It is not long before their suburban facade starts to unravel as Lee takes his brother’s family down with him.
In a first look trailer released in May, Lee is seen arriving at Glen’s place of work and attacking his boss while his brother hides.
He then strides down the street wearing nothing but his pants, a vest and a colourful ladies silk dressing gown.
Lee confronts his brother, telling him: “We’re going to fight, man to man, because that’s what you need.”
The pair roll around in the grass before Lee slaps Glen across the face.
After the macho display he breaks down, confiding in his brother that things have gotten “very bad”.
The action then ramps up with car tyres squealing and a man pouncing off a sunbed to attack them.
Mr Bigman’s star-studded cast includes includes Harriet Webb as Kirsty, alongside Adrian Scarborough, Fatiha El Ghorri, Ned Dennehy, Victoria Alcock, Geoff Bell, Nitin Ganatra, Judi Love and more.
This is Danny’s first time taking on a sillier role after years of playing tough characters on screen.
Despite being known as a bit of a “hard man”, the actor previously hit out at being typecast, insisting he is actually a “sensitive soul”.
Speaking about his time on Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men and The Real Football Factory, he told the Daily Star: “There was a reason I done those programmes and it was purely for money.
“It got me a nice little house and stuff, and got one of me kids through private school.
“But I do cringe at that work, not to disrespect it too much, but you know it wasn’t really what I’m all about.”
