BBC's upcoming sitcom 'Can You Keep A Secret?' starring Dawn French is set to air on January 7. The series follows Debbie Fendon, a widow and lawn bowler played by French, who will go to any lengths to protect her family—even if they need protecting from her.
The plot thickens when Debbie's husband William (Mark Heap), believed to be dead, is actually alive and hiding in the loft. After being mistakenly declared dead, the retirees seize the chance to claim life insurance and live out their golden years in secret.
Their son Harry (Craig Roberts) becomes embroiled in the deception, caught between his parents' criminal antics and his wife Neha (Mandip Gill), a local police officer who must not discover the truth. The sitcom explores family dynamics tested by fraud and hidden truths.
The cast also includes actors from well-known series such as 'Doctor Who' and 'Submarine'. The six-part series promises a blend of comedy and tension as the Fendons navigate their extraordinary circumstances.
