Am I, like, nude in it, at any point?” Jim Howick asks, with a wince. The actor is referring to the festive special of the joyous family sitcom Here We Go, which he won’t see until it’s broadcast to the nation on BBC One, in a primetime slot, on New Year’s Eve. I can confirm that there’s a flash of torso, in a blink-of-an-eye shot of him in his swimming trunks.
“Oh yes, I’ve got a boil on my face and I’m in a sauna. Great.” He lets out a pained chuckle. “Here We Go has one of those scripts that genuinely makes you laugh out loud, but you do read it with a sense of dread. I’m always thinking, what’s going to happen? Usually I’m the butt end of the joke. Being thrown in a lake or something. I’m a walking indignity.”
