But rehearsals don’t exactly go to plan thanks to lockdown.
‘It’s so important that the BBC provides moments of humour and light relief and this mischievous idea shows what great sports Michael and David are,” Charlotte Moore, Director BBC Content, said.
The six-part series, which also stars Michael Sheen, will air on BBC One at 10.45pm.
Earlier during lockdown, David also teamed up with his pal Catherine Tate for Comic Relief.

Will there be a new series of Broadchurch?
Broadchurch writer Chris Chibnall has always maintained that he doesn’t have plans for a fourth series.
“There were three stories and I wouldn’t want to do repeated versions of these crimes. I don’t think that would ring true to me,” he told Entertainment Weekly.

“I don’t think I have another story for this world and I’m not sure that will change, really, so, I think it’s probably goodbye for good.”
But Chris hasn’t ruled out another series of Broadchurch should it be set abroad.
The writer joked: “I think wherever David Tennant (DI Alec Hardy) and Olivia Colman (Detective Ellie Miller) might wish to spend a few months of their year. Yeah, Hawaii could be good, France, New Zealand – I’m sure you’d have eager ears from some of the cast!”

At one point, there were rumours that DI Alec Hardy (David) and Detective Ellie Miller (Olivia) would get a spin-off series.
But David was quick to put an end to that speculation..
He told Indie Wire: “I don’t think anyone seriously talks about there being any kind of spin-off because I think we all know that that’s not what should happen.”
Broadchurch is on ITV, Mondays at 9pm.
