Danny Dyer in the first look at the new Sky series

Sky has released the first picture of “Mr. Bigstuff” with Danny Dyer from “EastEnders”.

The six-part comedy stars Dyer as well as Brassic and Ryan Sampson of Plebs, who also created the show.

Sampson plays Glen, a carpet salesman trying to live an ideal, if mundane, suburban life. But as if problems with his wife Kirsty (Harriet Webb) and her shoplifting addiction and his erectile dysfunction weren’t enough, his brother suddenly bursts back into his life.

Dyer plays said brother Lee, an alpha male addicted to prescription drugs, carrying his father’s ashes in a cookie jar, and running from his past.

The coexistence of these three people sounds like a recipe for disaster, and viewers will be able to see how catastrophic the outcome actually is when the series airs in the spring.

For now, we have the synopsis, the above picture of Dyer and Sampson, and some other cast news.

The show also features former EastEnders actors Nitin Ganatra and Victoria Alcock, Adrian Scarborough (Gavin & Stacey), comedians Judi Love and Fatiha El Ghorri, Geoff Bell (His Dark Materials) and Ned Dennehy (Good Omens).

Dyer’s final EastEnders episode aired in late 2022 and last September he announced his decision to leave the BBC One soap.

“For the first few years we rocked the hell out of it. It was a huge thing. The audience listened to us more than they listened to those fucking politicians,” he said.

“I was lucky enough to see some great storylines, but also some crappy ones. They messed it up towards the end. It’s a shame it had to end, but I’d had enough of it.”
