Sounds like a typical celebrity signing for the Christmas schedules. Though I'd like to hear these two on the radio - they've churned out some pretty amazing stuff over the years (and, yes, some rubbish too but it's worth it for Vicar of Dibley, AbFab and some of their earlier sketch stuff).

Nick.

Never found them remotely funny.

Perfect for Radio 2's comedy hour! Laughing

Ahh... the latest installment of Iain Smith and the Misleading Thread Title!

That Guardian piece is just speculation, and while it may very well come true there's no deal yet.

In today's Telegraph Jennifer Saunders berates the BBC for cutting television budgets (for their shows) and preventing them from doing sketches they wanted to do, in favour of (cheaper and) more "populist" ones.
