Kayleigh says her first boyfriend was called Danny ('but he was a "holding hands" boyfriend'). John, in contrast, says he was having sex when he was 13. At the end of the episode, John tells Kayleigh men have needs, and hints he wants to have sex with her, but she does not seem keen. She would rather snuggle on the sofa with a takeaway and accidentally on purpose invites herself round to John's for a dinner date. Radio is the real star of Peter Kay's new show". RadioToday.

Peter Kay's Car Share is a British sitcom set around supermarket assistant manager John Redmond ( Peter Kay) and promotions rep Kayleigh Kitson ( Sian Gibson), and their participation in a company car-sharing scheme. As they travel to and from work, John and Kayleigh listen to Forever FM; a fictitious radio station which has music alternating with terrible advertisements and promotions. In each episode, one or both of them (mostly Kayleigh) daydream about them creating a music video-style fantasy performance of a song played on the radio.
