Filming begins on BBC's hit comedy Here We Go

The Jessop family are back as filming gets underway for the fourth series of Here We Go, produced by BBC Studios Comedy for BBC iPlayer and BBC One

Created by and starring Tom Basden (The Ballad of Wallis Island), the new series of the BAFTA winning sitcom (6x30) sees the acclaimed ensemble cast reunite, with Jim Howick (Ghosts), Katherine Parkinson (Rivals), Alison Steadman (Gavin & Stacey), Freya Parks (This Town), Jude Morgan-Collie (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder), Tori Allen-Martin (Unforgotten), Mica Ricketts (Best Interests), Ed Kear (The Batman), and Jon Furlong (The Last Kingdom) all returning.

The fourth series rejoices in the chaos of the Jessop family as they encounter love, loss, jealousy, a graduation, a birthday party, a surprise snail allergy and an eventful ‘fun run’ (pictured). Rachel (Katherine Parkinson) is graduating and taking her first, faltering steps, in political protest. Paul (Jim Howick) continues to struggle on as an undervalued policeman and also turns his hand to some messy painting and decorating. Robin (Tom Basden) continues his entrepreneurial campaign planning to impress Dragons’ Den while also buying a property he knows very little about. Cherry (Tori Allen-Martin) is trying her best to juggle raising baby Atlas while practicing her newfound Make-Up Artist skills. Amy (Freya Parks) is looking for a fresh start, a job and some kind of escape from the rest of her family while Sue (Alison Steadman) is having trouble sleeping but manages to find time to make a lethal home-brew. Sam (Jude Morgan-Collie) is there to capture all the mess and the various disasters in close-up.

Creator Tom Basden, says: “Working with such an incredible comedy cast is a pleasure and a privilege so I’m thrilled to be bringing Here We Go back to the BBC for a fourth time. We’ve only just started shooting but it’s already shaping up to be the best series yet!”

All previous episodes of Here We Go are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer. Further information about the series will be released in due course.
