THE COCKFIELDS RETURN TO GOLD FOR CHRISTMAS

The nation's favourite comedy channel Gold announces a special Christmas episode of The Cockfields (1x60'), following on from the six-part series two due to air next month.

The Cockfields Christmas Special stars Wilkinson as Simon and Susannah Fielding as his fiancé Esther, travelling back to the Isle of Wight between Christmas and New Year to visit Simon's ever-doting mother (Sue Johnston), his controlling yet well-meaning stepfather (Gregor Fisher) and his celebrity-obsessed stepbrother (Ben Rufus Green).

Writers Joe Wilkinson and David Earl said: "Getting to write a Christmas Special is a dream come true for us and we can't thank Gold enough for being daft enough to let us do it. We can't wait for you to hang out with the Cockfields again, while we all stuff our faces with sausage rolls and chocolate oranges. Merry Christmas from The Cockfield Family."

The Cockfields Christmas special airs in December. Series two of The Cockfields starts next month.
