Dom Joly has said he is hoping to get "a completely new spin" on Trigger Happy TV commissioned.

The hit prank series launched on Channel 4 in 1998, going on to fun for two series and several specials. The format was last seen in 2016 when the star filmed the series Trigger Happy for Channel 4's online platforms.

Speaking to The Sun, he now say: "I spent a lot of time on Trigger Happy honing my skills annoying members of the public so now I'm going to take those skills and maybe take on something else.

"I did a small reboot for Channel 4 before but there were two things I really wanted to do: one was a movie and the other was to try and get a completely new spin on Trigger Happy.

"So it's the same sort of comedy, same sense of humour and the same people behind it but doing it for a completely different purpose and I think we've come up with a completely new format so it's really exciting.

"I'm just waiting for the green light but it's going to be a really, really cool thing."
