BBC Three confirms Famalam Christmas special

The comedy show will return for a third series and a one-off Christmas special which will feature new sketches as well as favourite moments from the past two series.

The sketch show, where no area of the universe is off limits, has received a number of award nominations since the series began.

Shane Allen, Controller of Comedy Commissioning, says: “Famalam goes from strength to strength in keeping the modern day sketch show flag flying high with its super-talented cast, pin sharp social commentary and ideas that poke fun in all directions.”

Akemnji Ndifornyen, producer, says: “Going for a three-peat! Excited to bring this beast back for another side splitting run! Third time’s the charm!”

Transmission details for series three and the Christmas special are yet to be confirmed but we will update this page with further details. BBC also recently confirmed a Christmas Worzel Gummidge revival.
