Enfield back at the Beeb

Harry Enfield is to star in a new BBC sitcom, based on the Private Eye cartoon celeb.

He will playing a shallow aging rocker in the comedy, and Amanda Holden will play his wife.

The show marks a return to the BBC for Enfield, who quit the corporation for a £1million Sky One show.

However, the show was panned by critics.

In January, Enfield claimed the decision to move to Sky might have cost him his career, saying: "Nobody wants me. All the work has dried up, and the phone has stopped ringing."
