First Series Of Warwick Davis Sitcom Life’s Too Short Announced By BBC

September 17, 2010

Little person actor Warwick Davis has just shared some big news on his website.

The first series of Life’s Too Short, the sitcom starring Warwick Davis which piloted earlier this year, has been approved by the BBC. Written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, best known for creating The Office, Life’s Too Short will be filmed in 2011.

Personally, I am very happy to see another sitcom being made about disability by BBC2. The first that I can remember, and which I loved, was All About Me. For those who didn’t see it, All About Me starred wheelchair user Raj, who had CP. He couldn’t speak, so the series was narrated through his thoughts. It ran from 2002 to 2004 and starred Jamil Dhillon, who also had CP.

So, readers, did any of you see the pilot episode of Life’s Too Short? Are you glad to see the series get approval? Will you be watching it? I hope I will.
