Teasing what to expect from the new episodes, Howick said: "The new series finds Paul and Rachel pursuing their dreams. Paul is in training to become a police officer and Rachel has enrolled at university, and so is confronting the difficulties and the perceptions of a mature student.

"Paul is getting to grips with his police training, making friends and trying to impose a newfound authority on the family when he can, which is of course is undermined immediately."

Speaking previously about series 2, the BBC's Head of Comedy Josh Cole said: "The second series of Here We Go is full of laugh-out-loud moments, whipsmart writing and a brilliant ensemble – this time accompanied by shockingly funny guest stars."

Here We Go returns on Friday, February 2 at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
