Brilliant! Fast Show team plan a comeback
Cast in talks about a 25th anniversary episode
The cast of The Fast Show are planning a special episode to mark the comedy’s 25th anniversary.
John Thomson has revealed he is in talks with his co-stars about the comeback.
Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester’s Mike Sweeney this morning, Thomson said: ‘We’re hoping to do a special, which is very exciting. You heard it first here. We’re in talks, as they say.’
The Fast Show – which was created by Paul Whitehouse and Charle Higson – co-starred Arabella Weir, Simon Day, Mark Williams and the late Caroline Aherne – first aired on BBC Two on September 27, 1994.
The last broadcast episode aired in 2000, but it was revived in 2011 for a series of online shorts by Foster’s lager.
• Thomson will be appearing at Mike Sweeney’s Children in Need extravaganza on 6 December at The Lowry Theatre in Salford.
