Calling all comedy fans: Doon Mackichan has been saying some rather interesting things about a possible reunion with Sally Phillips and Fiona Allen for a Smack The Pony comeback.
Sketch comedy fanatics might remember the comedy show, which ran for three series between 1999 and 2002 on Channel 4. It was so popular that it spawned two farewell specials, airing in December 2002 and January 2003.
Speaking with RadioTimes.com Mackichan revealed that she was writing material with her former co-stars, and "getting the pitch together".
"So much has happened to us all, as mothers and women, there's a lot that is funny about where we are now," she said. "There are years of pain to draw on. We will have to wait and see what happens and whether they will want to bring it out of the stable. But we would love to get the old nag out again."
Of course the girls would really have to get their act together and write a whole host of new material, so are they up to the challenge? "It requires a lot of writing. But we have always been accosted by people who say they want it to come back and so many people have their favourite Smack The Pony sketch. Whenever it is repeated I get recognised more in the street", Mackichan said.
Well, will you be happy to see them back on the screen?
