The show, which has been written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, will begin production next month.


Former 'Blind Date' host Cilla - who has just celebrated 50 years in showbiz - will play Tanya in the show, alongside her jailbird half-brother Arthur, played by Paul.


After discovering her long-lost sibling is in prison she ends up giving him a place to stay when he is released.


If the half-hour pilot is successful, the show will be aired on BBC One next year.
