Matt Lucas and David Walliams have signed exclusive deals with the BBC for the next three years.
The contract, known as a "golden-handcuffs" deal in the industry, is extremely rare, and limits the Little Britain stars to making programmes for the corporation only during its tenure.
As well as two Christmas specials of the comedy, the pair are also working on a different sketch show, which will air on Saturday nights from autumn 2007.
The deal is reported to be worth around £3 million pounds each.
