We at CCC are delighted to hear that the Fast Show will be making a comeback for a new online series.
Charlie Higson confirmed the reunion on Twitter this week – “A lot of you have been asking if we will be bringing The Fast Show back… the answer is yes”.
Cast member Simon Day announced he would be reviving his comic characters Dave Angel, Billy Bleach and Competitive Dad. “It has all been hush hush. Paul and Charlie will be bossing us about as usual, and I will still be funny, but fat and balder.”
As with many recent comedy comebacks (A.Partridge, Vic and Bob), it will be sponsored by Fosters. Apparently it’s easy to convince classic UK comedy teams to re-unite, provided you have a stack of cash from selling watery lager. (someone’s obviously bitter….. – editor’s note)
The series starts this Thursday the 10th November @ fostersfunny.co.uk.
Enjoy.
