What with his new comedy sitcom Life's Too Short having just finished airing on BBC Two, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Ricky Gervais might give himself a break over the Christmas holidays from planning new television material. Apparently, though, that's not how Gervais' mind works: instead, he has announced via his Twitter account that he and co-writer Stephen Merchant have two new projects in the works. The first of these is a special episode of An Idiot Abroad titled The Short Way Round, involving Karl Pilkington travelling by bicycle across an unannounced country with dwarf Warwick Davis (star of Life's Too Short, Return of the Jedi and Harry Potter) in the basket of the bike. Gervais' other project is a second season of Life's Too Short, which will follow on from Warwick's character having been left to sleep in the drawer of the spare room of his business assistant's crowded house, trying to recover his relationship with Amy and earn money in new gigs. Gervais tweeted: "FAQ: Second Series of Life's Too Short Planned for Spring 2013; An Idiot Abroad: The Short Way Round planned for end of 2012." I'll keep you posted on developments regarding both new programmes as they come!
