Next 'Little Britain' series to be last?

The next series of Little Britain could be the last, according to a report in The Mirror today.

Creators David Walliams and Matt Lucas apparently wish to rest the show after the upcoming third series. The stars will then begin a nationwide Little Britain stage tour, before moving on to a new project.

An insider revealed, "The most likely scenario is that the boys give Little Britain a break, and then either spin-off one of the characters into a different programme or do something brand new."

There are also rumours that Walliams and Lucas wish to spend some time apart.

"They want a proper break - mainly from each other," another source added.

The third series begins in the autumn.
