Gervais plans TV show with Warwick Davis

Ricky Gervais is working on a new BBC show with 3ft 6in actor Warwick Davis.

He and Stephen Merchant are developing a programme based around his forthcoming autobiography, Life’s Too Short.

Davis, 40, starred in Willow and Leprechaun and has appeared in Star Wars and Harry Potter movies – as well as working with Gervais on Extras.

Davis says his book, due out in April, ‘will recount my experiences working with actors from Harrison Ford to Val Kilmer’.

Details of the new show are scant, but Gervais wrote on his blog: ‘Worked with Steve all day. Admin, editing Total Film, and developing a new project for the BBC starring Warwick Davis called Life’s Too Short.’

Here is Davis in Extras:
