Ìý

Looking for peace and a quiet life, Boycie is horrified to discover that the farm comes with three employees; but he's not as horrified as Marlene when they convince him that he'd make the perfect gentleman farmer. And then he buys a

²ú³Ü±ô±ô…

Ìý

John Sullivan says: "When I was writing Only Fools, I often used to wonder what Boycie and Marlene were like when they were at home together, alone. And now I've had the chance to find out!

Ìý

"They're like lots of married couples - constantly bickering and trying to hide their little secrets but, deep down, they love each other.

Ìý

"Inevitably, Boycie is better suited to the country as being a gentleman farmer appeals to his ego, and he's not afraid to try anything once, but Marlene finds the transition more difficult. Stilettos weren't made for traipsing across fields!"

The Worst Week of My Life

Ìý

Ìý

He and Mel are about to move into a new home together and they are expecting their first child. It seems for once everything is perfect.

Ìý

But seven days in the life of Howard Steel are never simple…

Ìý

Moving house and becoming parents should prove challenging for the Steels…

Little Britain

Ìý

With more awards tucked beneath its laydees' petticoats than Bubbles has rolls of fat, the time has come once again for Little Britain to open its crowded shores for business, courtesy of creators Matt Lucas and David Walliams.

Ìý

While all the horribly familiar faces are back, from teen bad dream Vicky Pollard, to over-sized and under-financed health spa addict Bubbles, there are, of course, some new faces to welcome into the fold.

Ìý

However, more of them later in the year…

Ìý

"But so many questions remain unanswered," we hear you cry. "Will computer ever say 'yes'? Will we ever get to meet the real Emily and Florence? And just how will Daffyd cope with not being the only gay in the village? Surely you can tell us a little more?"

Ìý

Alas, computer says "No".

Ìý

The awards for this returning series include: Bafta Television Awards (Best Comedy Programme or Series); British Comedy Awards (Best TV Comedy); British Comedy Awards (The People's Choice Award); Festival Rose d'Or (Best Male Comedy Performance); Festival Rose d'Or (Comedy); and the South Bank Show Awards (Comedy).
