Matt Lucas and David Walliams are reuniting for a special episode of Little Britain called Little Brexit.
The one-off episode will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4, where Little Britain started in 2000, and will look at how the hottest topic in modern British history is affecting their lives.
The programme will catch up with many of Lucas and Walliams' much-loved characters including Dafydd, Vicky Pollard, Emily Howard, Marjorie Dawes, Mr Mann, and Lou and Andy.
Original cast members Ruth Jones and Anthony Head, and narrator Tom Baker, will also be taking part.
