Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are returning to BBC One for what will be their first sketch show series together for six years.  The show will feature not only their much loved sketches, but will also see these sketches bound together with a narrative thread (like the glue between objects that otherwise wouldn't be held together, unless you used sella-tape instead).  This narrative backdrop will take the form of a behind the scenes documentary which takes a look at the duo working together to write their shows.

Much of this behind the scenes action takes place in French and Saunders new private office which they now share at the BBC. (although due to not reading their contract properly they only have one parking space).

We will see them arriving at the office, battling with security and hanging around studios and lifts watching for celebrities to persuade to be in their shows.  There are also an 'above average' number of trips to the BBC tea bar.

But don't think of this new series as a documentary (that's what the Discovery channel is for), as it is still a sketch show at heart. The series will have their usual brand of parodies and sketches which will include tributes to Cold Mountain, Girl with a Pearl Earring and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ.
