Channel 4 has packed up Warner Bros comedy Big Bang Theory at the LA screenings.

The sitcom follows two 'science geeks,' who live together and end up with a sexy, female next-door neighbour. The set up has naturally been likened to 1990s BBC sitcom hit Men Behaving Badly.

Roseanne actor Johnny Galecki and Garden State's Jim Parsons will play the housemates Leonard and Sheldon, with Charmed's Kaley Cuoco playing the neighbour, Penny.
