Fans of Little Britain's savage brand of panto humour are in for an extended treat. Matt Lucas and David Walliams have made a six-part series in the US. Vicky Pollard is off to boot camp; Daffyd Thomas goes to university, Sebastian Love becomes prime minister and Lou and Andy are in search of a miracle cure, US-style. In television terms, this is an event of seismic proportions. It is produced by Simon Fuller, the creator of American Idol and the studio sketches will be directed by David Schwimmer from Friends. For millions of viewers, that's Friday night sorted out for the foreseeable future.
