Changing Ends, a new autobiographical comedy for ITVX starring and co-written by the Bafta Award-winner himself, follows his journey through puberty and adolescence, and finally self-discovery, all against the backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain.

The Chatty Man presenter – who teamed up with writer Simon Carlyle for the piece – will lead the ensemble cast as himself in the present day, with rising star Oliver Savell taking on the role of young Alan.
