Noel Fielding is set to star as Dick Turpin in a brand new adventure comedy for Apple TV+<\/a>, the streamer has announced.<\/p>\n

The Great British Bake Off<\/a> presenter will play the legendary highwayman in the series, with Breeders<\/a>\u2018 Ben Palmer signed up to direct.<\/p>\n

Real-life figure Dick Turpin was an English highwayman who is best known for leading a life of crime before being executed in 1739 for horse theft.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this irreverent retelling, Dick is the most famous, but least likely of highway robbers whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair,\u201d the streamer teases.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with his gang of loveable rogues, Dick rides the highs and lows of celebrity \u2013 and does what he can to escape the clutches of the Thief Taker General.\u201d<\/p>\n

Written by The Job Lot\u2019s Claire Downes, Stuart Lane and Ian Jarvis, the currently untitled series will also credit Noel Fielding and League of Gentleman\u2019s Jeremy Dyson as script consultants.<\/p>

This upcoming project will mark Fielding\u2019s first on-screen acting performance since 2018\u2019s Urban Myths, with the comedian focusing on hosting gigs and voice roles for the past few years.<\/p>\n

Fielding currently presents The Great British Bake Off alongside Matt Lucas and is a team captain on Sky Max\u2019s Never Mind the Buzzcocks, while recently he has featured in animated shows and films such as Close Enough, Twelve Forever, Disenchantment and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.<\/p>\n
