Dick Turpin to have more Completely Made-Up Adventures

Second series for Noel Fielding's dandy highwayman comedy

Noel Fielding is to make a second series of The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin for Apple.

The streaming service has commissioned a second series of adventures featuring the 18th Century highway robbers.

The first season of six episodes also starred Duayne Boachie, Ellie White and Marc Wootton as members of Turin’s Essex and Dolly Wells as Eliza Bean, the writer chronicling his adventures.

Guest stars included Asim Chaudhry, Joe Wilkinson, Greg Davies, Tamsin Grieg, Mark Heap, Jessica Hynes, Paul Kaye and Guz Khan - and Apple says season 2 will similarly feature ‘a host of great British comedy talent’, Hollywood trade website Deadline reports.

Fielding also wrote the show – which is made by Big Talk Studios – with Richard Naylor and Jon Brittain.

Series one was broadly welcomed by critics with aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 87 per cent approval rating.
