The comedian 50, admitted that he has been working on storylines and plots in recent years, more than two decades after it was first shown on TV.
The show really pushed the careers of both Peter Kay, who played wannabe businessman, and delusional, Brian Potter, and co-star Paddy McGuinness.
Now it could return as film and Christmas special!
Peter also added that he wanted to film a Christmas special of spin-off Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere with his former co-star.
They have written an episode which sees the two bouncers work in a grotto!
Phoenix Nights history
The series is set in a fictional social club in the northern English town of Bolton called “The Phoenix Club.” Peter Kay plays the central character, Brian Potter, the club’s owner and an often hapless and deluded character. The show primarily revolves around the day-to-day operations and various events and acts that take place at the club, including comedy nights, talent shows, and more.
The cast includes a range of quirky characters, such as Jerry St. Clair, a wheelchair-bound aspiring singer, and Max and Paddy, two bouncers who later got their own spin-off show, “Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere.”
“Phoenix Nights” was well-received by both audiences and critics for its irreverent humor and memorable characters. It’s considered one of Peter Kay’s most iconic works and has continued to have a strong fan base years after its original run.
