The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin is premiering on Apple TV+ on Friday, March 1st and the six-episode season hits all of the right notes. It's funny and clever. Filled equally with dumb sight gags and wordplay that can be so complex you need to have a thesaurus close at end.
The series stars Noel Fielding as Dick Turpin, a highway who in real life was apparently not the nicest fellow. But in this "completely made-up adventure," Turpin is a bit of a well-meaning buffoon, surrounded by a murderer's row of great British comic and character actors.
American audiences likely know Fielding from his role on The Great British Bake Off or perhaps on the comedy The Mighty Boosh. But this show feels like the one that might make him more of a household comedic name in the United States.
Producer Kenton Allen has had a long run of producing shows in the UK, including Raised By Wolves, Houdini & Doyle, Cold Feet & The Outlaws.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Fielding and Kenton Allen in person (see the video above) and to describe the conversation as "wide-ranging" is a bit of an understatement. We managed to discuss camera lenses, the rock band Cream and the challenges of being both evil and a parent forced to bring their child to work with them.
