Noel Gallagher: I'll Write A Sitcom

There have been some really classic British sitcoms written by true greats.

Terry & June, The Likely Lads, Only Fools And Horses, Fawlty Towers — the list goes on.

And when Noel Gallagher, the man who penned the theme tune to the brilliant Royle Family, retires from writing lyrics he’s going to turn his attention to rib-tickling sitcoms.

The Oasis axeman plans to team up with best pal Russell Brand to make shows for the small screen.

He said: “I’d like to be part of a team of scriptwriters. I think I’d be good. Russell has been trying to rope me into something but at the moment I can’t commit to anything outside Oasis. But, one day. Who knows?”

Now that’s something that would be well worth watching.

For those of you who can’t wait, on the right I’ve put them in the Royle Family, with Noel as Jim and Russell as Nana.

Bizarre Lord Noel knows his way around a withering put-down and shagger Russell is one of the finest comedy minds of his generation.

The combination of their wit works a treat on Russell’s Radio 2 show.

If they could transfer that to TV they would be laughing: And so would we.

Noel thinks their chemistry comes from their contrary characteristics.

He explained: “Russell’s a big posh Essex boy former junkie who’s been to the dark side and got into Hare Krishna. He’s never seen a council estate.

“I’m a gruff Northerner who drinks Red Stripe. He finds that fascinating. He’s all ‘But Noel darling, don’t you believe in a higher existence?’ and I’m like, ‘Not dressed in a sheet banging a tambourine, you big Jessie’.”

The pair have formed a mutual appreciation society.

It’s not just Noel pontificating on radio Russ, the comedian has revealed he’s basing his next big screen part on his hit-making chum.

Russell is reprising his role as singer Aldous Snow in the sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

He said: “In Get Him To The Greek, Aldous is now back on drugs. With him being awful rather than clean I can use my friendships with British rock stars more successfully.

“Noel Gallagher will be a much better resource.”

He’s also dedicating a slice of his next novel to the Manc.

He revealed: “It’ll have a bit on Noel, on politics, West Ham and maybe a bit on The Sun.”

But if the two are to work in tandem, Russell had better scrub up.

Noel reckons uncharitably: “When you get close to him you smell a mix of garlic, coffee and alcohol.”

A hygienically-challenged sex addict and a former rock star bickering.

That’s a recipe for a cracking sitcom.
