Androids are just as good at fundraising as you are - or at least that's what Humans intends to prove.

Ahead of the launch of its new series on October 30, Humans will return to screens for a comedy spoof next Friday (October 21) in aid of Stand Up to Cancer… with a helping hand from Greg Davies of all people.

"Helping hand" might be an exaggeration since the Synth version of the Inbetweeners actor majorly malfunctions when he pops up on the Hawkins' (Tom Goodman-Hill and Lucy Carless) doorstep.

At least he brought along a lawn gnome as a consolation prize....

Channel 4

Greg Davies has prior experience as a robot - or at least a cyborg - from his 50-or-so minutes inside a gigantic metal mech suit as King Hydroflax in last year's Doctor Who Christmas special.

Before all of the fundraising fun next Friday, The Crystal Maze returns for a Stand Up to Cancer special on Sunday, October 16 at 9pm on Channel 4.

There are also Stand Up to Cancer specials on the way for This Is England and a celebrity version of Tattoo Fixers.

Stand Up to Cancer is a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4 to accelerate new cancer treatments to UK patients and save more lives, more quickly.

Launched in 2012, Stand Up to Cancer's fundraising total has so far reached over £25 million to fund clinical trials across the UK.
