David Walliams and Matt Lucas have approached Simon Fuller, one of the creators of Pop Idol. Do they want to sing? Do they want to dance? Stranger still, it seems, according to Variety, that the dynamic comedy duo may want to create a version of Little Britain for HBO in the US.
Variety doesn’t mention what form this show might take. Little America? Little Britain with subtitles to explain the jokes and help out with the accents?

I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
