Comedian Johnny Vegas has been trying his hand at holiday-home living on a Cumbrian park this spring – and BBC TV viewers will be see the results later this year.

The Benidorm actor was at Skiddaw View Holiday Park, leading the cast in Home from Home, the pilot of which will be shown in summer.

Based near Bassenthwaite Lake, the park and its spectacular mountain scenery will form the scenic backdrop of the sitcom.

Featuring alongside Johnny Vegas will be Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, along with Silent Witness actress Emilia Fox.

Home from Home is about a family man, played by Johnny, who has long cherished the dream of buying a lodge in the Lake District – and finally achieves his ambition.

What happens next has been the focus of the filming at Skiddaw View, which provides almost 100 lodges and caravan holiday homes.

The park is set in 20 acres of countryside and was acquired by its present owners, Philip and Barabara Carr, 25 years ago.

The sitcom is part of a new season of comedies to mark the 60 years since Galton and Simpson's Hancock's Half Hour started on BBC Television.
