Young Bond author Charlie Higson’s new television series, Bellamy’s People, debuts January 21st on BBC 2 at 22.00. The series reunites Charlie with Paul Whitehouse for their first television collaboration in 10 years.

In Bellamy’s People, hapless radio talk show host Gary Bellamy (from Down The Line) abandons the comfort of his studio and jumps into his Triumph Stag "personality vehicle" to travels the length and breadth of the land meeting the people of Britain and trying to find out what makes them tick.

Paul and Charlie are joined by a talented ensemble of players, including Rhys Thomas, Lucy Montgomery, Simon Day and Felix Dexter, to take on a gamut of quintessentially British characters, including a 23-stone man who rarely leaves his bed; a pair of aristocratic sisters with an unhealthy love of totalitarian regimes; a barely reformed celebrity criminal; Christians, Muslims; and a host of other characters that make up modern Britain.
