Walliams & Friend is a British sketch show, produced and starring David Walliams, airing on BBC One with a debut pilot special on 24 December 2015. A full-length first series of 6 episodes was commissioned on 20 May 2016, which first aired on 25 November 2016. A second series has been confirmed by Walliams in an interview.
It was previously called The David Walliams Sketch Show until September 2015.
Filming for the pilot episode for Walliams & Friend began on 19 September 2015 at The London Studios. Further filming took place either later in that same year or sometime in 2016.
See Jack Whitehall as you've never seen him before. This episode includes Jack and David's inappropriate take on Sherlock and Watson; the world's worst dating show contestant and Jack doing something David has never done before - dressing as a woman. Also includes the launch of Britain's cruellest reality TV show, Celebrity Slammer, in which David finds himself locked up with the likes of The Chuckle Brothers and Bob Carolgees.
David Walliams and Harry Enfield appear together as John Torode and a rather fussy Gregg Wallace in MasterChef; portray a hilarious pair of ageing lotharios and take a look back at some of Harry's comedy characters that never saw the light of day - until a certain David Walliams got his hands on them. Adding a touch of royalty to proceedings, Her Majesty the Queen is surprised by her own family history when she takes part in the genealogy show Who Does One Think One Is?.
The multi-talented Sheridan Smith transforms into a real-life Barbie doll, faces an unlikely dilemma whilst filming a swords-and-sorcery epic, and hits all the wrong notes as a cruise ship singer with a chip on her shoulder. David and Sheridan play bickering husband and wife contestants on an ill-fated game show, What's She Cross About?, plus we get to travel back in time to the 1970s to watch the classic politically-correct film, Carry On Up The Sexual Harassment Tribunal.
David Walliams is joined by actress, writer and comedian Meera Syal. Together for the first time, these two classic sketch performers introduce us to the sadly disappointing pleasure robots of tomorrow. David and Meera also play a squabbling husband and wife, desperately trying to explain their problematic marriage to their young daughter using her Peppa Pig dolls. Plus a struggling actress auditions for the role of background extra in the evening news and a robber meets his match in the BBC's newest police drama Good Cop, Indian Mum Cop.
