The BBC announced that Charlie Cooper’s Local Legends is the working title of the “new funny factual series coming soon to BBC Three and iPlayer.

Charlie said “I’m really excited about this new series, as I’ve always been fascinated by local legends, myth and folklore.

“As I see it, my mission is to explore our ancient world, seek out mythical creatures and boldly go where no TV presenter has gone before.

A BAFTA and RTS award-holder, Charlie co-created and starred in This Country, a show which drew comedy from young people navigating life in rural Gloucestershire.

It poked fun at the idiosyncrasies of neighbours, friends and family.

Also starring Charlie’s sister Daisy May Cooper and the siblings’ real-life dad, Paul, the “mockumentary style series, which was based on their own experiences, became a huge hit.

It ended after the third run because, Daisy said, having lost their anonymity, “We can’t go to the pub like we used to and just watch or listen to people.

Now, according to the BBC, Charlie is set to “shine a light on the gloriously bonkers rural myths of the UK.

Cameras will follow him as he tours the country in his campervan, “investigating everything from crop circles and UFOs in Wiltshire to roaming ghost dogs on the coast and countryside of East Anglia.

“Charlie will meet the believers and the naysayers, visiting iconic locations and gathering evidence in a bid to get to the bottom of the truth.

The press release says that in three half-hour episodes, he hopes to separate the news from the nonsense, the happenings from the hoaxes.

This will involve “uncovering eye-witness accounts and elusive evidence as well as staging his own experiments in a bid to bring him closer to the truth.

“This Country” also starred Charlie’s real-life sister Daisy May Cooper    (Photo: BBC)

“Along the way, he will pay homage to the countryside legends of brilliant Britain and explore how they have come to define the places and people they originate from.

Nasfim Haque, Head of Content for BBC Three, said “It is super thrilling and scary in equal measure to see what mysteries and magic Charlie uncovers on his adventures.

“We are so pleased to be working with him on his factual debut at the BBC and are sure that audiences will be captivated by everything he discovers.

Tom O’Brien, managing director of programme-makers Naked West and executive producer, added “We’re delighted to be working with Charlie and BBC Three on a brand-new adventure series ripe with character, kookiness and the uncanny.

“British folktales are finding new life once again with a real explosion of interest, so it’s a great time to unearth their origins, quirks and meaning for the present-day. Broadcast details will be confirmed in due course.

Charlie, 35, is the younger brother of Daisy May Cooper, 37, who co-created and co-wrote This Country, which propelled the pair to stardom.

Recently, Daisy sold her newly-built home in which she experienced paranormal activity.

In October the actor will launch her new book Hexy B*tch, which promises to delve into ghosts, divination by tea leaves and astrology, along with other paranormal topics.

Publishers Radar say the book will also reveal Daisy’s experiences with unexplained forces that “have influenced all parts of her life.
