Peter Kay's Car Share co-star Sian Gibson has said nearly all of the laughter in the unscripted episode is "completely genuine".

He introduced the improvised episode of the Bafta-winning sitcom - shown to audiences at Blackpool Opera House last month - with a short video, saying: “Basically what we’ve done is we’ve done something a bit different, what you’re about to watch is Sian (Gibson) and myself doing some improvisation.

"We used to drive around quite a bit and we just wanted to see what would happen if we filmed a whole journey without a script, just making it up, reacting to the radio, chatting and basically seeing what happened.

“So here is the result, I hope you enjoy it.”

The unscripted episode ended with John inviting Kayleigh over to have a takeaway.

A second episode will air at the end of this month.
