Except, wait a moment... While the duo playing the parts of the sleuth and his sidekick may look familiar, it is not Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman we are watching.

No, this is David Walliams and Jack Whitehall as you have never seen them before.

Starting Friday 25 November, Walliams & Friend sees the Little Britain and Britain's Got Talent star in a new sketch show series, following on from last year’s Christmas special.

Each week Walliams will perform a medley of sketches with one other famous face (plus supporting cast) in front of a live studio audience.
