Gallagher reveals sitcom ambitions

Noel Gallagher has admitted that he wants to write a sitcom with Russell Brand, The Sun reports.

The lyricist, a regular guest on Brand's Radio 2 show, claimed that the pair may collaborate when he is free from his Oasis commitments.

Gallagher said: "I'd like to be part of a team of scriptwriters. I think I'd be good. Russell has been trying to rope me into something but at the moment I can't commit to anything outside Oasis. But, one day, who knows?"

The musician suggested that the pair get along so well because of their contrasting personalities: "Russell's a big posh Essex boy former junkie who’s been to the dark side and got into Hare Krishna. He's never seen a council estate.

"I'm a gruff Northerner who drinks Red Stripe. He finds that fascinating. He's all 'But Noel darling, don't you believe in a higher existence?' and I'm like, 'Not dressed in a sheet banging a tambourine, you big Jessie'."
