The BBC is planning to make a series of Home From Home starring Johnny Vegas.

A one-off pilot went out as part of the BBC's Sitcom Season in September. Vegas and Joanna Page played happy couple Neil and Fiona Hackett (pictured) who have bought a run-down lodge in the Lake District which turns out to be opposite a fancy lodge owned by posh couple Robert (Adam James) and Penny Dillon (Emilia Fox). The Dillons are everything the Hacketts are not. Robert is cool, stylish and southern, Neil is down-to-earth, rotund and northern. 

The BBC has yet to announce the commission officially but it is believed that the same cast will reprise their roles when the series is made for BBC1.

The pilot was by new writers Chris Fewtrell and Simon Crowther.
