Stephen Merchant has spoken out on how he hopes to be viewed as a "national treasure" ahead of the release of the second series of his Bristol-based show, The Outlaws.
The Westcountry star told the Mirror that despite his lengthy career in showbusiness, he feels as if he is a “Jack of all trades, master of none”. However, he says he is putting in the work to become more highly regarded in his industry.
“My dream is to become a national treasure because my big anxiety is that I don’t make it into the in memoriam film at the BAFTAs when I’m dead,” he said.
