It did well in the Emmy nominations, amassing an impressive tally of 10 nods and now US sitcom 30 Rock is coming to the UK. Five have picked up the rights to the show for the first two seasons according to Chortle. The show is a fictional behind-the-scenes look at a comedy sketch show and stars Alec Baldwin. Co-star and creator Tina Fey (who also brought us Mean Girls) based the programme on her time as chief writer on Saturday Night Live.

The show was well received by the critics though has failed to catch on with the wider general public in the US. With a second season confirmed, the 10 Emmy award nominations and comedy great Jerry Seinfeld announced to make a guest appearance, all involved are hopeful that it will find mainstream success.
