Series starts next month

Sky One has commissioned the Alan Carr-fronted panel show There’s Something About Movies, following a successful pilot earlier this year.

Work is to start imminently on the six hour-long episodes, which invite some of the UK’s favourite actors and comics to test their film trivia.

Carr said he was 'super excited’ to be hosting  the show, adding: ‘It’s going to be must-see TV… Get all the Hollywood gossip behind the scenes and with some acting masterclasses I see if I’ve got what it takes to make it in tinsel town (spoiler alert - I haven’t).’

The series is being made by  CPL Productions which also makes the Sky show League Of Their Own, and will be filmed in front of a  live studio audience.

Phil Edgar-Jones, head of entertainment at Sky, said: ‘We are somewhere over the rainbow with excitement to have Alan Carr taking a leading role in There’s Something About Movies. We aim to do for films what A League of their Own has done for sport... make it funny!’

The series will start on May 2.
