Hit BBC Comedies Renewed
The future of two hit BBC comedies has been confirmed as the boss calls for the TV world to 'save our sitcoms'. The publicly funded corporation has committed to more instalments of fan favourite shows.
The Power of Parker and Mammoth
Conleth Hill will reprise his character for a second series of The Power Of Parker, while Mike Bubbins and Roger Buck will also return to BBC screens for a second series of Mammoth.
Renewed Shows
The hit sitcom Outnumbered is one of six new or returning shows to get new episodes greenlit by the BBC.
Calls for Ambitious Formats
Jon Petrie, the Director of Comedy at the BBC, emphasized the need for ambitious formats to save sitcoms. He urged producers to take risks and create the next generation of classic sitcoms that audiences will love for years to come.
Return of Outnumbered
The cast of Outnumbered will reunite for a Christmas Special, eight years after the show was last seen on screens. The special will focus on the chaos in the downsized home of Pete and Sue as they navigate parenting adult children.
New and Returning Shows
The TV executive surprised fans by announcing six new and returning shows, including the return of Lee Mack in Not Going Out and the commissioning of two new series, Smoggie Queens and Funboys.
