In the new series, Greg is at risk of deportation.  

Teasing his character’s future, Neil said: ‘Then they find out there are some inconsistencies with my visa, so then it turns out throughout the series I then have troubles trying to be able to actually stay in India…

‘It’s a sort of reflection of what’s been happening over here, with migrants and coming over, you’ve got to get your ducks lined up in order to do the correct thing and Greg has been naughty and hasn’t.’

Earlier this month, Neil spoke about how they navigated filming in the pandemic.

‘It was all to do with the protocols of continuing to be able to film, and that was a real shame. That was the one drawback I’d say…

‘Once we were allowed to open up again, we could go out for controlled meals, we could meet up with some members of the crew, but we just stuck very much to the rules that were imposed on us by the government and the army, and also by our production staff – so that was the one drawback this season…

‘We had a great time with all the actors, but it would have been lovely to smash a few of the crew at pool as well.’
