Max and Paddy's Road To Nowhere

I have been told by a friend who has read up on the show that Max and Paddy.s Road To Nowhere is going to return the second Friday in August. (Aug 12th)

Does anybody know if this is true?

The bad news for Peter Kay fans is that the popular comedian will not be making any more series of his Channel 4 sitcoms Phoenix Nights or Max and Paddy for now.
But the good news is that Kay is writing a new comedy for Channel 4, which is likely to be on air next year....

MAKING any more series, the second Max and Paddy has probably already been made!

MAKING any more series, the second Max and Paddy has probably already been made!

Do you by any chance know J.Christie, JFC On The Web and countless other pointless posters?

Good news - Channel 4 have agreed to series 2 - it is likely to be broadcast late 2005.

The bad news for Peter Kay fans is that the popular comedian will not be making any more series of his Channel 4 sitcoms Phoenix Nights or Max and Paddy for now.
But the good news is that Kay is writing a new comedy for Channel 4, which is likely to be on air next year.

The Channel 4 director of programmes, Kevin Lygo, said Kay was working on a new show, which, like Phoenix Nights, was likely to be set in his native north-west.

He said Kay's new sitcom would again be an ensemble piece, but with a new cast of characters, rather than the tyrannical Brian Potter and the rest of the Phoenix Nights crew.

"Peter Kay is without doubt our biggest comedy talent. The new show will be probably be on Channel 4 next year," Mr Lygo said.

"It will feature new characters, but he'll never stray very far from Bolton [his home town]."

Kay made two series of Phoenix Nights, which have proved a huge hit on DVD.

He followed that up with Max and Paddy, featuring the two bouncer characters from Phoenix Nights on the run in a camper van, which was broadcast on Channel 4 earlier this year.

Mr Lygo also said he would consider commissioning a second series of Nathan Barley should co-creator Chris Morris want to do it.

Nathan Barley, Morris's hotly anticipated first TV show since Brass Eye in 2001, drew a lukewarm critical reaction and poor ratings when broadcast on Channel 4 earlier this year.

"We're always talking to Chris. He's thinking about whether he wants to do another [series of] Nathan Barley," Mr Lygo said.

"It depends what he wants to do with it. I don't think he'd want to do the same thing again - he'd want to take it on."

I'm confused, I think we should wait at least until the end of the first series of "A Bear's Tail" to see what happens.
