Little Britain and Catherine Tates Lauren to return to TV next week

Quote:

Matt Lucas and David Walliams will bring Little Britain back to TV for the first time in a decade with a sketch on a BBC charity special next week.

The comedy pair reunited for a Little Britain radio special last October, and a new TV series has been rumoured.

They haven't revealed which characters they will play on BBC One's The Big Night In on 23 April.

The three-hour show will raise funds and "celebrate the acts of kindness and "the spirit of hope" amid lockdown.

It will also see Catherine Tate reprise her role as schoolgirl Lauren - now struggling as she is remotely educated by her teacher, played by David Tennant.

Peter Kay and Gary Barlow will also appear from home, and the programme will be hosted by Matt Baker, Zoe Ball, Lenny Henry, Davina McCall and Paddy McGuinness.

The Big Night is being organised by Children in Need and Comic Relief, and the money raised will be split between the two charities to provide support during the pandemic.

Lucas has also been announced as the host of a new Channel 4 show that will celebrate the ability of "men, women, children, celebrities and possibly even some pets to entertain themselves during some self-enforced downtime".

Reasons To Be Cheerful With Matt Lucas has been written by Harry Hill.

Then why did she have a gravestone?

Sometimes when people go missing/no body is found they can be declared dead and they can have a headstone in memory I think but then it's a fictional TV show

It doesn’t mention anywhere that she might be alive though.

She literally has a handful of characters she could have used. Seems a bit silly to me

I guess Nan is over used and a few others she may not get aways with now

Bit daft really innit. Both shows should double down and continue all of their "offensive" sketches.

What we really want is for Tate to join the LB team and revive them both in one x

isnt she doing a Nan movie soon?

Have Lauren and Vicky Pollard ever met? It seems like something which would have happened, they were both big at the same time...

Very very strong telethon, the best in years

It's really not that deep.

She has a Nan movie coming out in two months.

Was really good! Just goes to show that even when you strip away all the production, it's still funny - the mark of good comedy :)

Did they give a reason or was it just time to go?

Oh right.

Come Fly with Me has been removed as well

Bit pathetic really. It was a good show, I doubt anyone actually found it offensive.
