Phoenix Nights To Shout Garlic Bread Pointlessly At You From The Silver Screen, Potentially

by | 16th, September 2011

GARLIC BREAD! Hahaha! Garlic bread, of course, is the food that made everyone from outside of Bolton, believe that everyone from inside of Bolton thought it was the most glamorous, exotic thing they’d seen since the town was awarded a microwaveable chicken korma.

And now, Peter Kay is to potentially wheel out Phoenix Nights for everyone again, this time, on the big-screen.

It appears that Kay has already written the script and is currently looking at offers from film producers. Of course, the baffling success of the dreadful Inbetweeners movie hasn’t done any harm to Kay’s pitches.

Kay told Real Radio North West:

“It’s written, I’ve written it. It’s done. They’ve even asked me”

“The biggest problem is getting everyone together”

‘Everyone’, in this case, presumably means getting the show’s co-creator David Spikey on-board. The pair fell out with each other after Spikey said that he felt that Peter took all of the credit.

This means that, in utterly awful, terrible news, Kay could be looking at turning his spin-off series with Paddy McGuinness, Max And Paddy, into a film.

Jesus on crutches.

Phoenix Nights
