Following his cameo in last year's indie special the character is back, as our hero Brian (played by Simon Day) looks over his past career. And sadly that includes revisiting Eccleston's Luke Dunmore who produced his awful Madchester LP Shelf Life.

But Brian has other problems on his plate – not least trying appease his estranged wife (played by Jane Asher) and the kids Ripple and Tallow he hasn't seen for 14 years.

In the clip below he is trying to make amends by getting his talentless offspring a record deal. Is Dunmore the man to help?

Here's a sneak preview...
