Sky One is to broadcast Micky Flanagan: Peeping Behind The Curtain this December, a documentary that looks at the popular comedian's success and reveals backstage tour footage.

The programme is described as "an extraordinary backstage pass to Micky Flanagan's An Another Fing tour, the sell-out 02 stadium run that became the world's biggest comedy tour."

The producers say: "Unlike anything else you've ever seen him in, this is an intimate and honest feature length doc that reveals how Micky went from performing in East End pubs to creating a stadium tour that saw him performing to more people than Beyoncé and Take That.

"From early raw material to the O2 stadium, this film reveals the man behind the laughter and invites the audience in to the rarely seen world of a master comic at work."

Micky Flanagan: Peeping Behind The Curtain will be shown as part of Sky's festive schedule. Sky One will also air comedy drama Roald & Beatrix: The Case Of The Curious Mouse and a new episode of David Walliams fairytale vehicle After Ever After this December.

The network has also lined up festive specials of A League Of Their Own, There's Something About Movies and The Russell Howard Hour.
