First Lily Allen made records. Then, she got to do a TV show which had mixed reviews. Now, Lily is apparently working on a new sketch show with James Corden and Mathew Horne, of Gavin & Stacey fame. So what's this show all about then? Well, it's Corden and Horne's latest BBC Three project, provisionally titled Horne and Corden Have Come. Speaking of which, Corden and Allen have been romantically linked.
Apparently, this all came about after Corden was impressed by Lily's sense of humour. A source said (oh! A source... right...) "James loves her ideas and shares her sense of humour. He reckons the humour from Lily's first album Alright, Still will come across on the small screen. If they can recreate the hilarity they have together at the pub it should be interesting to hear how their stuff turns out."
Horne and Corden Have Come is set to be a six-parter described as "a traditional comedy entertainment show in the style of Morecambe and Wise". The pair will perform sketches and stand-up in front of a studio audience. The BBC's controller of comedy commissioning, Lucy Lumsden, said: "We're so pleased that James and Mat discovered each other through Gavin & Stacey and are delighted to have their new comedy sketch show on BBC Three."
