Fermanagh and Adrian Dunbar to feature in new Sky comedy series

Co Fermanagh is to feature in an upcoming Sky series with comedians Josh Widdicombe and Nish Kumar.

The comedian pair will take to the screens on Sky Max for Hold the Front Page, documenting their adventures at various local newspapers across the UK.

In an episode filmed in Northern Ireland, Nish and Josh cross paths with Line of Duty star and Enniskillen native Adrian Dunbar while working a stint at Farming Life.

The crew travels to an island in Lough Erne owned by the Doherty family of butcher’s fame in Enniskillen.

A description for the show says they begin by entering the world of ‘pedigree sheep judging’.

“Their first assignment should be a front-page banker as they head to a local agricultural show, but only if they can get to grips with the baffling world of pedigree sheep judging,” the description says.

“Their second day in country life sees them meet a farmer who owns a private island on the beautiful Lough Erne. But they have to navigate to the island by boat in order to get their story.

“The day continues as they land a hot scoop, Line of Duty Star Adrian Dunbar is in the area representing a local Gaelic Athletic Association club. Can our starstruck reporters turn a sporting story into a farming one?”

Earlier this year, Dunbar was spotted at the Enniskillen Gaels clubhouse along with the two English comedians.

Episode 4 of Hold the Front Page will air on 25 January on Sky Max and NOW.
