Plans for a Little Britain Movie and Spin Off

Little Britain stars David Walliams and Matt Lucas have revealed plans for a film version Little Britain, according to Paramount Comedy's 'Comedy News'.


The news has come straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak, as Walliams told 'king of the chat' Michael Parkinson that "we've had some sort of interest from America."

"We've got a sort of film development deal out there and also we might do something for TV out there," he added.

This news follows closely on the heels of the announcement that the LB boys have also signed a deal with Pop Idol producer Simon Fuller to develop a version of Little Britain for the American cable network HBO.

Back in Blighty, Lucas and Walliams are also developing a spin-off series for the Beeb based around their popular characters Lou and Andy, according to the BBC website.
