The return of Cleese

It has been announced that John Cleese will be making his first sit-com for the BBC. Edith will see Cleese playing a character who hooks with an old flame after 50 years only for her grown up son to move back into her home. Alison Steadman (who played Clesse's wife in the 1986 film Clockwise) will play the old flame while Jason Watkins plays the son. Edith should be hitting UK TV screens by the end of the year.
