A whistlestop journey through the comedian's life, this is a twelve-month subscription to his memories and meanderings across the calendar year. From hitting the gym in January, falling in love in February and a nostalgic trip to Ireland at Easter, it's then off on summer holidays at Butlins, a September wedding and, before you know it, he's packing away the Halloween decorations and sipping a glass of Bailey's in front of the Christmas telly. With his trademark warmth and wit, Peter offers a unique take on the calendar year in a way only he can.
