Anything with Dawn French in it is going to be worth watching and when Mark Heap is playing her husband you are surely onto a winner. Can You Keep A Secret? stars French and Heap as oddball country couple Debbie and William. The secret is the fact that William has to play dead as Debbie has cashed in their £250,000 insurance policy after an admin mix-up paid out even though he was alive and kicking.
Dawn French returns to sitcoms in Can You Keep A Secret? The Vicar of Dibley star plays widow Debbie Fendon - granny, lawn bowler, tinpot dictator - who will stop at nothing to make sure her family is protected. Unfortunately, most of the time the person they really need protecting from is her. When her hermit-like husband William (Mark Heap) unexpectedly dies, she makes an outlandish decision that will put the family under more pressure than ever before.
Filming is now underway on the six-part BBC One and iPlayer sitcom Can You Keep a Secret?, starring Dawn French, Mark Heap, Craig Roberts and Mandip Gill. Written by Simon Mayhew-Archer, the producer of hit BBC Comedy This Country.
