The BBC kicks off its autumn drama season with a new series starring Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.
"A Bucket O' French & Saunders" contains a mixture of old and new sketches.
A BBC spokesperson said: "We still believe in making great comedy. But not every programme has to make the viewer laugh. So we went to Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, who are great at that kind of thing."
The legendary partnership will also have a Christmas special, which will go head to head with Channel five's The British Cement Laying Championships on Christmas Day. The Cement Laying competition is expected to win the ratings battle.
