The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (2024)
TV Show
First aired
The title is a promise, and the show keeps it. Noel Fielding plays the real highwayman Dick Turpin, recast as the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws who must keep outwitting a thoroughly corrupt lawman, Jonathan Wilde.
History here is a dressing-up box: tricorn hats, coaching inns and gallows, worn with Fielding's usual surreal glee rather than any interest in the facts. It premiered on Apple TV+ in March 2024. A second season was scrapped partway through production, and one extra episode, the seventh, came out in October 2025, so treat it as a single short run.
