The Agnes Brown actor confirmed to The Sun that he is preparing a series of episodes for the Easter period.

He said: "I think we’re going to be doing another mini-series for April, but whenever the BBC broadcast them."

It was also revealed that filming for the upcoming Christmas special will begin in the coming weeks.

Remarking about the episode, he said: "It’s hard to believe this Christmas Day episode will be our 50th episode".

He added: "We do the same special in three weeks or four weeks time. I could tell you what they’re about if I had of f*****g written them but I’ve not written them [yet]."

After collecting the award, the comedian and his wife Jennifer reflected on the success of the show.

He said: "It’s been tremendous, to get this award is our sixth and I just feel really… but I don’t care.

"It’s voted for by the audience and viewers. This is the icing on the cake, it’s amazing.

"Cast and crew are family it’s been 38 years now all our production crew are family and all the cast is family."

Jeniffer added: "It’s actually humbling when you hear the response it’s one of the few shows that the entire family can watch together.

"We got a message from a man who said her family member was suffering from dementia and he said they sat down and it was the first time they heard a laugh."
