Sting heads for Little Britain
Thursday, 5 June 2008
Sting is to appear on the US version of 'Little Britain'.
The 'Roxanne' singer has a cameo role in 'Little Britain USA', and has been seen shooting scenes for the programme on the streets of Los Angeles.
A source said: "He was acting and singing as well as playing a strange instrument which looked like a sitar crossed with a handheld harp."
'Little Britain' creators Matt Lucas, 34, and David Walliams, 36, are writing and starring in the new series which is being directed by 'Friends' actor David Schwimmer and is based on the duo's hit UK show.
Matt and David have created several new characters for the programme - which will air on US network HBO later this year - but it will also feature many established favourites, including Daffyd Thomas, Sebastian Love, Marjorie Dawes and Vicky Pollard.
Matt said: "We're mixing it up. We're writing six new American characters and the rest will be old favourites. How could we not take Vicky and especially Marjorie to America? The new characters range from the nice to the really gruesome."
