Could Jack Whitehall turn out to be the next James Bond?

OK, it’s unlikely, but the stand-up comedian and actor, best known for playing clueless, accident-prone teachers in Bad Education and Decline and Fall, is finally getting the chance to show off his action-hero credentials in a new Sky One comedy-thriller.

Barnaby, a PhD student who gets caught up with terrorists and a drugs cartel when he takes over the family antiques business while his dad (Robert Lindsay) is in hospital.
