"He's a lovable character. Most of the village love him and the family. It's his job to get it back for Christmas. It's a great show, loved working on the Christmas special. We had all the snow machines. Barney plays PC Harness. It's nice working with him again."

The father-of-two clearly thinks highly of his son, and opened up about how special their bond is. "We do [get on well]. He's a great lad Barney. I've said it on many occasions, he's the person I always wanted to be. He's got wonderful humility, he's very sensitive. He takes after his mum, thankfully. He's much more gentle than I am," he told Jonathan.
Viewers are no doubt looking forward to seeing Bradley, Joanna Scanlan and more for the festive special, which comes soon after the debut season which well down a treat with fans. The heartwarming show is a spin-off of the classic story in H.E. Bates' 1950s novel, The Darling Buds of May – which also inspired the 1990s TV series of the same name which starred David Jason and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The synopsis for Christmas special reads: "Pop and Ma are overjoyed to have [Mariette and Charley] back for Christmas, but when Charley's parents arrive to meet the Larkin clan, and the entire village is left without lighting and heating following a power cut, chaos descends on the Larkins farm."
