LITTLE Britain is 'set for a reboot' despite a blackface row and removal from streaming services. The David Walliams and Matt Lucas comedy was pulled from BBC iPlayer, Netflix and BritBox last month as it featured the pair in blackface.

While the pair both issued apologies for performing as characters of other races, The Sunday Mirror claims they are in talks to make a podcast of the show.

An insider told the publication: "Spotify is among those who have mooted David and Matt as targets to commission a podcast with. "They’d love for it to be around Little Britain, off the back of the success last year of their Radio Two Little Britain show. "They’re both huge names, so it would be sure to be an instant hit.” “It’s looking even more likely.
