The Apple TV+<\/a> series stars Noel Fielding as a comical version of the infamous highwayman, who is a much kinder and gentler soul than the historical figure probably was.<\/p>\n He unintentionally becomes the leader of a gang of misfits and sets about building their reputation in the carriage robbing scene, which is dominated by all-round tough guy Leslie Duvall (Greg Davies).<\/p>\n In an interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, Dick Turpin<\/a> co-star Ellie White (Wonka<\/a>) praised the show for being fun to the core, side-stepping dramatic elements in favour of rapid-fire gags.<\/p> \u201cIt\u2019s broad and silly, but also it feels like it has little kind of niche eccentricities as well, which, to me, always sums up British comedy,\u201d she began.<\/p>\n There are comparisons to be drawn between Dick Turpin and Ghosts<\/a>, with both incorporating fantasy themes and period settings, as well as wordplay and physical humour in their comedic style.<\/p>\n White continued: \u201cI think Ghosts is such a lovely, funny show that can be enjoyed by so many different age groups and different types of people. And hopefully this can as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Co-star Duayne Boachie, who is known for more dramatic roles roles in Hollyoaks, Blue Story and BBC One\u2019s You Don\u2019t Know Me<\/a>, agreed that Dick Turpin is hoped to delight viewers of any age.<\/p>\n At a press conference, he explained: \u201cWhat I really enjoyed is the fact that it\u2019s a family show. It\u2019s easy to digest and it can be taken from all different ages \u2013 your mum, your grandad, your son, your sister, your uncle \u2013 there\u2019s a nice feeling to the show.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I like the underlying feeling of love. It\u2019s like so many different misfits, rogues, highwaymen, different personalities, but there\u2019s a family feeling with the cast.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, star Fielding has likened the show to Monty Python\u2019s style<\/a> of comedy, which has been seldom seen on mainstream television in recent years as commissioners have shifted attention to more realistic fare.<\/p>\n![\"Dick](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/dick-turpin-cast-apple-5f7abc6.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"dick-turpin-cast-apple\\"\/")
