'Christmas Lights' becomes 'Northern Lights'
Published Saturday, Feb 12 2005, 14:41 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly
Warring neighbours Colin and Howard are to set up a business together, when ITV1's Christmas Lights is turned into a series.
The one-off seasonal drama was a hit for ITV1 in December, and so a full series, titled Northern Lights, has been commissioned.
The series, starring Robson Green and Mark Benton, will see Colin and Howard selling lighting for a living. One episode will show the neighbours being given the chance to become millionaires in a deal to light up Las Vegas.
"That episode will pay homage to Auf Wiedersehen Pet, in that it involves Geordie guys going abroad to make a living," Green told The Mirror. "Auf Wiedersehen was classic TV and we'd like to think that one day we'd become the same."
