David Walliams and Matt Lucas 'discussing' Little Britain return 🙌
This NEEDS to happen!
Little Britain was one of the most popular British sitcoms in the early noughties, and ever since the last episode aired on the BBC back in 2007, fans of the show have been praying for a return!
Well, it looks like a revival could be on the cards, with Little Britain writers David Walliams and Matt Lucas in 'discussion' about the show's future.
During an interview on This Morning earlier this week, hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield asked Britain's Got Talent judge David all about the rumours....
Responding about bringing the show back, David said, "We might do. We're just talking about it at the moment. Matt Lucas has his last night in Les Misérables – the stage show – tonight, so we’re meeting up very soon and talking about our future plans."
OMG! 🙌
Despite originally starting life on the radio, Little Britain become one of the biggest sitcoms when it first aired on TV in 2003. The show aired on BBC Three between 2003-2004, before gaining enough popularity to air on BBC One between 2005-2007.
The popular sketch show showed both David and Matt playing a number of different characters, representing parodies of British people from all walks of life.
Check out these original names of your favourite TV shows:
Friends
We all know and love it as Friends, but the TV show could have been called something very different...
Six of One
Six Of One just doesn't have the same ring to it! Here are the cast Jennifer Aniston, Matt Le Blanc, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow. Mega-fans, you can watch Friends daily on Comedy Central (YAY!) or on Friends – The Complete Series 1-10 on Blu-ray and DVD.

We know it as Only Fools and Horses with Del Boy's infamous Reliant Regal Supervan.
Readies or Big Brother
But it was originally due to be called Readies or Big Brother. Good job they went with Only Fools and Horses, then!

The Big Bang Theory could have been called something a lot less catchy...
Lenny, Penny and Kenny
Yep - Sheldon was very nearly called Kenny!
Saturday Night Live

Hannah Montana
Hannah Montana, was a musical comedy starring Miley Cyrus in the lead role and was named after the main character, but it could have been very different.
Alexis Texas
The lead character was originally going to be called Alexis Texas... Which means that the show would also have been called Alexis Texas!
Lost
The gripping TV show Lost, starring Terry O'Quinn as John Locke (pictured), kept people guessing the ending for years.
Nowhere
Lost could have been called Nowhere!
New Girl
Known as New Girl, the TV show starring Zooey Deschanel as kooky teacher Jess Day could have been called something else entirely.
Chicks and D---s
While New Girl was the name they finally settled on, it had a much ruder working title - and Zooey Deschanel refused to sign onto the project whilst that was the name.
