Matt Lucas and David Walliams are to make a US version of 'Little Britain,' it was announced today.
The pair have landed their own show on TV channel HBO.
The series will feature a mix of brand new characters and 'Little Britain' favourites - although American audiences might find themselves baffled by "yeah but no but" teenager Vicky Pollard and "only gay in the village" Daffyd.
Walliams said: "The new series will be a sketch show set in contemporary America.
"We are taking some existing characters and writing new material for them, as well as introducing new characters and ideas.
"We're very keen to take 'Little Britain' to as wide an audience as possible, so we're looking forward to working in the States."
Lucas added: "We have grown up with huge respect for American comedy, so going to work there with HBO, which is the home of some great talent, will be a great experience for both of us."
The show will be executive produced by Simon Fuller, the man behind the Spice Girls.
