'Gavin & Stacey' set for US remake

ABC is reportedly plotting a US version of BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey.

According to Variety, the network will remake the comedy series for American audiences without the help of writers James Corden and Ruth Jones.

ABC is said to have ordered a pilot for the series, which will be made by BBC Worldwide, along with two other sitcoms - one from Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith and the other from the executive producer of Samantha Who, Don Todd.

Gavin & Stacey joins other British remakes stateside, including The Office and Life On Mars.

Earlier this year, Corden announced that the third series of the British version of Gavin & Stacey will be the last.
