The Peep Show actors have been working on Back since spring of this year when filming began.

The series will follow Stephen (David Mitchell) as he takes over his late father's pub, sidelined by Andrew (Robert Webb), one of the many former foster-children of Stephen's parents.

Andrew returns to town after years of travelling, to revisit the family that he thinks changed his life.

Unsurprisingly, Stephen and Andrew don't get along as Stephen becomes convinced that Andrew is out to steal his life.

Back will mark the return of Mitchell and Webb to Channel 4, the home of Peep Show, and also stars Sherlock'sLouise Brealey as Stephen's sister Cass, Penny Downie as his mother Ellen and Geoffrey McGivern as Uncle Geoff.

The series, which is made up of six episodes, is created and written by Simon Blackwell, who also worked with Mitchell and Webb on Peep Show, and also previously wrote for The Thick of It and The Armstrong & Miller Show.

So Back is in pretty safe hands, then.

Back starts on Channel 4 in early autumn.
