Matt Lucas and David Walliams teased a potential return to TV during an interview on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X on Tuesday.

The comedians, who recently launched a brand new podcast, revealed they are ‘kicking a few ideas around together’ when asked if they will make a TV comeback together.

The podcast is their first project since 2010, when they rounded off their sole season of Come Fly With Me – a mockumentary about a fictional airport and airlines.

Little Britain returned to BBC iPlayer in 2022 with offensive blackface scenes cut by producers, after it was removed from the service in 2020.

During the chat, Chris asked : ‘Now, you two, obviously writing together. You haven’t written together for a long time.’

David joked: ‘Well, we have actually. I wrote Matt’s book for him. Much better than my one!’

‘But are you writing stuff together?’, Chris added.

Matt said: ‘Yeah. So we’ve got two or three ideas in development at different stages.’

‘When are we going to see you two doing characters on the television?’, Chris said.

Matt replied: ‘Well we are, yeah, we’re kicking a few ideas around. We’re having meetings, we’re doing all those sorts of things, and we shall see. 

‘There’s nothing to report yet, but when there is, we’ll go on Heart…’

Matt and David finally reunited on their podcast last week, welcoming Rob Brydon as their first guest.

The Little Britain stars had an entertaining chat with the Gavin and Stacey actor, 59, on the show, titled Making A Scene, which sees celebrities direct a movie of their life, down to the key scenes and cast.

It will be accompanied by a weekly spin-off You Can’t Ask Me That, which will invite listeners to send in their most outrageous and uncomfortable questions to the duo.

New episodes are out every Tuesday and will see the likes of Richard E. Grant, Alan Carr, Andrew Mensah, Jack Whitehall, Kevin Bishop, Tia Kofi and Stephen Merchant lay out the story of their lives.

Assurances were given at the time that some scenes from Little Britain in the revival were removed by creators Matt and David, and advisory warnings were used at the start of some episodes.

Some of its characters, including Vicky Pollard and wheelchair user Andy, were retained, alongside others including Matt’s homosexual Welshman Dafydd Thomas and David’s ‘cross-dresser’ Emily Howard.

As part of the show’s 2022 revival, characters donning black face including Pastor Jesse King, Desiree DeVere and other racial stereotypes such as Thai bride Ting Tong, were axed.

In a statement at the time, the BBC said: ‘Little Britain has been made available to fans on BBC iPlayer following edits made to the series by Matt and David that better reflect the changes in the cultural landscape over the last 20 years since the show was first made.’

However the BBC defended an ‘explicitly racist’ sketch which is still available to view on iPlayer where David describes an Asian character as ‘smelling of soy sauce’ and ‘the ching-chong China man’.

The corporation claims the sketch was ‘intended to expose and ridicule some of the outdated prejudices and racism that still exist in parts of British society’ after it was revealed viewers felt the content was inappropriate in new research by Ofcom.

The sketch, originally broadcast in 2002, shows David Walliams as university employee Linda Flint describing an Asian student, Kenneth Lao, over the phone to her manager.

He is described as having ‘yellowish skin, slight smell of soy sauce … the ching-chong China man.’ The scene is accompanied by a laugh track.

Matt and David have both previously apologised for their use of blackface on the show which launched their respective careers. 

Matt’s reunion with his co-star comes after David claimed he is ‘probably non-binary’ as he candidly opened up about his sexuality and gender identity.

The comedian and author, also admitted that he thinks life ‘might have been easier’ for him if he were gay.

He appeared on the Australian podcast Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps, where he made the revelations about himself.

David explained that if people used the same language as we do now when he was younger, he would have most-likely identified as non-binary.

He told the host: ‘I think in a way I’d probably say I am non-binary I think. I don’t know exactly.’

The comedian recalled: ‘It’s interesting because I had this girlfriend at the end of university and we used to go out.

‘I used to go out to gay clubs and dance for like six hours and I’d be wearing a skirt and stuff like that. 

It comes after David revealed he is ‘probably non-binary’ as he candidly opened up about his sexuality and gender identity 

He added: ‘I think it’s interesting. I mean, I find change interesting. And I mean, you know, I wrote a book called The Boy in the Dress 15 years ago, which was sort of seen as a bit more daring then.

‘And it’s always something – I’ve always sort of felt like celebrating difference on, so I’ve always thought it’s exciting.’

Reflecting on his identity both now and in his younger years, he said: ‘I sort of think, where would I be positioning myself maybe, if I was now 19 or 20?

‘Because I went to Bristol University and did a drama degree. And I think that course is where you’re probably… if there’s a group of people who are going to be most interested in that sort of area, most drawn to that area, it’s probably going to be drama students.’
