“Daisy May Cooper reunites with brother Charlie Cooper as she makes a special appearance in the new series of his show Myth Country.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The actress, 38, will feature in the Winter Solstice special of the BBC series as her This country co-star and co-creator prepares to head off to explore different winter festivals across the country, with the latest seeing him look at barrel burning in Devon.
But while Charlie, 35, believes his sibling will be accompanying him on the trip, she leaves him disappointed when she soon informs him that she will not be making the journey alongside him.
A preview clip ahead of Friday’s episode sees Daisy arrive outside Charlie’s house in a car while he is filming a piece to the camera.
It’s then apparent that he believes she will be coming with him to Devon as he cheerfully remarks: ‘Aah it’s Dais, oh no way she’s gonna come! She’s coming, brilliant!’
But Daisy soon reveals she cant as she tells him she’s ‘waiting on a solar powered generator’.
Quizzing his sister on why she’s getting a generator, Daisy simply replies: ‘because of the end of the world that’s why.’
The Rain Dogs star also randomly reveals she’s got a hole in her leggings and cheekily turns around to show her sibling – much to his chagrin.
The clip also sees the actress – who featured on the phone and discussed aliens and crop circles with her brother in the last series – give Charlie a spell book for ‘protection’, believing he will need it on his travels.
Daisy also gifts a present to ‘the kid of yours that I actually like.’
As her brother asks Charlie asks: ‘why do you hate him?’, Daisy replies, stating: ‘I hate him and he hates me’.
Charlie then goes on to put this down to he fact that his sister and his son are both so similar.
The encounter is short-lived as Charlie, who is packed and ready to go, is keen to head on the role, hurrying his sister as she gives him other bits for the trip.
However, just before he departs, he tells his sister that their dad keeps asking about Christmas, with Daisy bluntly replying: ‘Well I’m not having him!’, before wishing him ‘good luck’ and heading off.
After a successful launch in October, Charlie Cooper’s Myth Country is set to make a comeback this week, this time with a winter special.
The festive edition of the show will see the host eschew modern Christmas festivities and instead explore alternative winter celebrations and understand the deeper meaning behind them.
Hopping into his trusty yellow campervan once again, Charlie will travel the length and breadth of the country to immerse himself in different winter festivals – from barrel burning in Devon to Morris dancing in Gloucestershire.
The series will see the This Country actor also take a particular interest in the winter solstice as he delves in to the country’s Pagan past.
His itinerary will see him head to The Barrel Burning festival in Devon’s Ottery Saint Mary which has been held annually since the 17th century, where townspeople believe that by lighting barrels filled with tar and running through the streets, they can protect their community from malevolent forces.
Sharing his excitement at the upcoming show, Charlie shared in a statement last month: ‘I’m thrilled that the BBC cameras will follow me again as I explore our wonderful, wild and sometimes hair-raising winter festivals, which for centuries have brightened up the darker months.’
Tom O’Brien, MD of Naked and Executive Producer said of the show: ‘Charlie Cooper’s Myth Country immediately connected with a large and engaged audience on the BBC.
‘We’re excited to bring it back for another look at a special moment in the year’s calendar – one steeped in lore, tradition and storytelling. Charlie will continue to feed his passion for the weird and the wonderful.’
While Nasfim Haque, Head of Content, BBC Three added: ‘Audiences will be delighted that Charlie is back for a solstice special after his first outing attracted so much love. Charlie getting the inside track from unique festivals across the UK is going to be the perfect winter warmer.’
Charlie Cooper’s Myth Country: Winter Solstice airs Friday at 10pm on BBC Three and iPlayer.
