A new comedy show starring Matt Lucas is currently being filmed in Langleybury.

Film crews for the new BBC show, "Pompidou" were seen in Langleybury Lane and will see Alex MacQueen join Matt Lucas in the comedy which is set to be aired early next year.

The Little Britain star will play the role of an aristocrat, "Pompidou" who is described by the BBC in an advert as a "tubby, pompous, penniless, eccentric, yet ultimately loveable aristocrat" who has "fallen on hard times."

The show will see Pompidou and his butler Hove face a new challenge every week. These challenges vary from stealing back a priceless bowl to saving a bird which is nesting in Hove’s stomach after flying through his mouth.
 
There will also be cameo performances from Bella Emberg, Roy Barraclough, Jane Asher and Tony Way.
