Matt Lucas and David Walliams reunited for their first TV interview in over a decade. The pair appeared alongside one another on The One Show tonight, where they chatted about their brand new podcast. The podcast is called Making A Scene and they relive key scenes from their guests' lives, discussing who would play them - and whether the story of their life would end up as a box office hit or something that would go straight in the bargain bin.
Speaking about working together again, Matt said: "We wanted to do something together again. This is actually our first TV interview together since 2010, so it'd been a while and we thought what could we do that's fun. It's a nice chance to chat to people. "It's a game you can almost play at home. In the movie of my life, who will play me? Who would direct it? What genre would it be? And then we always ask people what three key scenes would be in the movie and then we work out if it would be a flop or a hit.".
The promo for their new podcast says: "After 15 years, the legendary comedy duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams are finally reunited - with a brand new podcast... MAKING A SCENE. Join them twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays (from the 4th February) as they turn the lives of their famous friends into cinematic masterpieces, and tackle YOUR questions - no matter how awkward, bold, or outrageous - in bonus pod You Can't Ask Me That!".
The likes of Stephen Merchant, Jack Whitehall, Rob Brydon, Alan Carr, Andrew Mensah and Richard E. Grant will all appear on the brand new podcast, their first project together after 15 years. Matt Lucas has been regularly quizzed about a potential return of him and David's hit show Little Britain. Speaking about the possibility, he said: "I think we would like to do something else. It is just fun to us. You know, that's all we ever wanted to do." Both of them have shared some regret over certain sketches and characters.
As well as a comedian, Matt was also known for his role as presenter on The Great British Bake Off, but he quit - and was later replaced by Alison Hammond. Speaking about his decision to leave, he said: "Farewell Bake Off! It's been a delicious experience and I can't imagine a more fun way of spending my summers. "But it's become clear to me that I can't present both Fantasy Football League and Bake Off alongside all my other projects. So, after three series and 51 episodes, I am cheerfully passing the baguette on to someone else.".
