I don’t have live news access right now, but here’s what’s publicly known about Greg Davies and the Kes connection:
- Greg Davies previously hosted a BBC Four documentary titled “Looking for Kes” (also referred to as “Kes: A Boy’s Life” in coverage) that explored Barry Hines’s novel A Kestrel for a Knave and its film Kes. This documentary aired around November 2019 and featured Davies revisiting Barnsley and exploring the book’s enduring appeal.[3][5][7]
- As of the latest widely reported coverage, there hasn’t been a new, high-profile update announcing a fresh Kes-related project by Davies beyond that 2019 documentary, though Davies remains active in television with projects like Taskmaster and The Cleaner.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can try to pull the very latest headlines again if you specify you want current updates, or I can summarize the 2019 documentary’s reception and key points in more detail. Would you like me to search for the latest developments now?
