Sky One has ordered a pilot of a comedy entertainment format featuring Jamie Redknapp, Harry Redknapp and Tom Davis.
Redknapp's Weekend Warm-Up, which is based around the topic of football, is described as a "comedy entertainment extravaganza".
The producers explain: "The pilot sees the royal family of football and Tom Davis join forces for one big night out. They'll be joined by celebrity guests for a show packed full of topical football talk, comedy VTs, celebrity chat and a whole season's worth of fun in just one hour."
Free tickets have been released for the recording on Thursday 10th October at The Depot in London.
The pilot is being produced by Expectation, the production company which recently made The Lateish Show With Mo Gilligan and The Rob Rinder Verdict for Channel 4.
The show has been devised by Jamie Redknapp, who Sky viewers will be familiar with as the long-standing team captain on A League Of Their Own. The former England star, who is friends with Tom Davis, recently appeared on the sports-based panel show alongside Harry, his football manager father (pictured).
It is not currently known whether the pilot will be shown on television.
