Matt Lucas has confirmed that he and David Walliams are working on a reboot of Little Britain, but said that it will be \u201cdifferent in many ways\u201d to the original.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun<\/a>, Lucas said: \u201cWe are talking about how we can have diverse talent on screen and in the writers\u2019 room and conceive it as something which is just not about me and David playing absolutely everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is something we should have done but didn\u2019t do back then.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cBut we were making the show at the same time as many other people who were doing what we were doing and had that approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original series of Little Britain premiered 20 years ago, in 2003, and was a mockumentary sketch comedy show narrated by Tom Baker<\/a>.<\/p>\n
