If the foul schemes of Marjorie, scourge of the Uttoxeter spa scene, still make you shudder, you'll be thrilled by the news that Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry are teaming up again.
Even if you're not an aficionado of their late '80s sketch show, A Bit Of Fry And Laurie - or their work together on Blackadder and Jeeves And Wooster for that matter - who wouldn't want to see these two comedic maestros back together again and voicing, say, an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost? Dammit, no-one. That's who.
The news broke via Fry's Twitter feed: "M'coll Hugh & I will be working together to voice the new animated feature of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost."
The Canterville Ghost is currently in financing and pre-production, but the kind folk at Melmoth Films have put together this poster to give us a sneak peek at the ghost. Spoiler, etc.
The men behind 'light metal' rockers The Bishop And The Warlord, and deeply nice secret agents Control and Tony{
Another pair of TV comedy veterans, That Mitchell And Webb Look co-writers Keiron Self and Giles New, have been charged with turning Wilde's popular short story into script form. So that's nice.
