GUEST STARS ANNOUNCED...
Liam Neeson and Helena Bonham Carter join the ever growing cast list of Life's Too Short.
Already on board for Ricky's third sitcom are Johnny Depp, Steve Carrel, Sting, Cat Deeley, Big Keith, Dr. Who, Barry-off-Eastenders, Les Dennis, Cheggars, Sophie Ellis Bexter and Right Said Fred.
Ricky said "If Warwick Davis isn't the comedy sensation of next year I'll eat Johnny Depp's hat". Johnny Depp said "upon its debut, I anticipate an immediate 95% plummet in my domestic earnings. Thank you, for ruining my career"
Ricky and Stephen Merchant's latest TV comedy series stars Warwick Davis, one of Britain's pre-eminent dwarf actors, playing a fictionalised version of himself.
It is an observational comedy following Warwick's day-to-day frustrations, but still managing to find optimism and warmth in a small world where big things happen.
Ricky and Stephen will also make an appearance as themselves.
Ricky said: "Third in our trilogy of TV sitcoms, Life's Too Short is another naturalist observational comedy, dealing with everyday problems, human foibles and social faux pas... but with a dwarf."
Warwick Davis said: "I am absolutely thrilled that the BBC has 'green-lit' the first series of Life's Too Short. For me, it is my dream acting job. I will be collaborating with the very best in the business - the BBC, who produce the finest television in the world, and Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who are without doubt the best comedy writer/directors there are (they've won a couple of awards!)."
