More Head!

Saturday, September 5th, 2009


I love I’m Sorry I’ve Got No Head and not just because it shares quite a few writers and performers with the Mitchell & Webb sketch shows so this news from Chortle is rather nice:

New series for ‘No Head’
And there’s a sitcom spin-off, too

The BBC has ordered another run of its acclaimed children’s sketch show Sorry I’ve Got No Head – as well as a new sitcom spin-off. The new programme, tentatively titled Game Over, is based on a skit about ‘off duty’ video game characters. Justin Edwards will co-write the 26 new half-hour episodes with Chris Reddy and Toby Davies, who have previously written for Mitchell & Webb. A number of online games will also be created to accompany the show.

Meanwhile, CBBC has ordered a third 13-part run of the original sketch show from Graham Norton’s production company So Television, before the second has even been aired. The show features a cast of familiar comedy faces including Marcus Brigstocke, Anna Crilly, Mel Giedroyc, Marek Larwood and Nick Mohammed.
