Favourites include Take That's 'wash your back' in 'Back for Good', Sister Sledge wanting to 'staple the vicar' in 'We Are Family' and Michael Jackson telling his lover their 'burgers are the best' in 'You Are Not Alone'.

Peter Kay was scheduled to be on tour again 2018, but he had to cancel due to "family circumstances". He has since planned a Dance for Life tour, but this has been postponed due to COVID-19.

His TV sitcom Car Share came to an end in 2018, with a finale that included a homage to Take That's 'Back for Good' video. He has since brought out a special audio-only version, plus a heartwarming book version to raise money for the NHS.
