One can already hear the cheers from the ‘little people’ in the lands far, far away; excited of the news I’m about to bring them… (Laughs)
Ok, so this is not a fairytale, but the news is joyous…
The BBC has finally given Ricky Gervais‘ sitcom about the day-to-day frustrations of being a dwarf the go ahead.
Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who created The Office, have both written the project and will executive produce.
A 30-minute pilot of Life’s Too Short is to be screened by BBC2 and will star Warwick Davis, who had the lead in the movie Willow, as well as guest appearances in the Harry Potter films.
Gervais said: “We’re having so much fun working with Warwick. Pound for pound he is one of the funniest men I know.”
Ricky’s a bit of a short-ass at 5′ 8″, maybe he should have cast himself as the dwarf… Just a suggestion (RUDE)!
