Ricky Gervais has revealed that production on two of his TV projects are well under way.
The Life's Too Short co-creator announced that the third season of the animated Ricky Gervais Show is nearly finished, while the initial meetings for An Idiot Abroad 3: The Short Way Round have been held.
"Started planning a European tour, put the final touches to the 3rd season of The Ricky Gervais Show (should have a confirmed TX date next week for you), had a production meeting about AIA3 The Short Way Round (Karl is already trying to get out of it)," he wrote in a new blog post.
The new series of An Idiot Abroad will see Karl Pilkington return for a new special travel programme, along with Life's Too Short actor Warwick Davis.
Gervais - who is a prolific Twitter user - added that Pilkington will never sign up for the social network, saying: "No Karl is not on Twitter and I don't think he ever will be. He hates it.
"He hates it nearly as much as fan sites, critics, and public speaking. He hates it more than my cat and Christmas shopping with me. No. Karl is not on Twitter."
Ricky Gervais was recently cleared by Ofcom for his controversial Susan Boyle "mong" joke.
