BBC signs comedy duo Watson & Oliver
BBC Two was commissioned a comedy pilot with female comedy duo Lorna Watson and Ingrid Oliver.

The show, which will take place in front of a live studio audience, will also feature a host of other comedy talent.

Watson & Oliver have previously had three sell-out Edinburgh gigs and have appeared in comedy shows including Peep Show, The IT Crowd and We Are Klang.

Head of comedy Mark Freeland said of the commission: "It’s brilliant that Watson & Oliver have the chance to show how talented and funny they are and I'm proud that they are going to be doing this with us, in-house."

The pilot is due to be shot in early 2010.
