Peter Kay Announces Car Share Series 2 Release Date". itsgoneviral.com. 3 December 2016 . Retrieved 3 December 2016. An audio-only special eavesdropping on John and Kayleigh as they make another average day’s journey to work, talking about the past, from Benny Hill to play parks, released on BBC iPlayer. Unlike the visual episodes, this episode ends when they arrive at work, without a return journey. After moving in with her sister Mandy and her family, Kayleigh is now travelling to work on her own by bus and train, but cannot resist temptation and repeatedly calls John. Eventually, after many phone calls between them, John secretly gives Kayleigh the directions to his car and the pair are reunited. After a bout of road rage, a video is produced of John verbally abusing and threatening a cyclist which goes viral, much to the amusement of Kayleigh. It is raining after work so John offers her a lift home, where he meets and bonds with her brother in law Steve ( Guy Garvey) who is obsessed with bikes, and tells Kayleigh he will keep giving her lifts to work every morning even though it will take him an extra 45 minutes to do so. The series came to an end in May 2018 when two special episodes broadcast on 7 and 28 May. The first of these, Peter Kay's Car Share Unscripted, was partially improvised but incorporated prepared radio material and visual gags.

Kayleigh gets John to play her 'Now That's What I Call Christmas' album on their journey to work in the height of Summer. It is possible this scene is meant to take place on John and Kayleigh's second day of car sharing, as Kayleigh says in the first episode that she will bring her Christmas CD for the next day's journey. This previously-unseen three minute scene was exclusive to Peter Kay's Christmas Comedy Shuffle. [10] ( Peter Kay's Comedy Shuffle also included various Car Share out-takes.) John and Kayleigh are forced to take the morning off work due to the death of a long-standing colleague, the trolley pusher Old Ted. Kayleigh quizzes John about his funeral, but he says at 39, he's never thought about that. Kayleigh's friendship with her elderly next door neighbour Ken becomes a hot topic when Kayleigh misunderstands the definition of "dogging", assuming it means walking a dog. She insists the new trolley wrangler will never replace Old Ted, but when she sees him, he sparks some interest from her.
