Star Wars hero in Greg Davies sitcom

Luke Skywalker is joining Greg Davies comedy Man Down.

Or at least Star Wars hero Mark Hamill is, with a guest role in the third series which starts next month.

However producers Avalon Television are remaining tight-lipped about his character, who appears in just one episode.

Also joining the cast are Steven Berkoff, who plays a terrifying Eastern European caretaker at the school where Davies' character Dan teachers; Sir Tony Robinson as Deadalus, a new suitor for Dan's mum (Gwyneth Powell); and Isy Suttie.

Stephanie Cole, Roisin Conaty and Mike Wozniak will also be reprising their roles when the series returns to Channel 4 in the week of July 9.

Meanwhile, here's a preview clip:
