Rubberbandits follow Father Ted to land Channel 4 deal

Outrageous comedy duo The Rubberbandits are set to follow in the footsteps of Father Ted after landing a show on Channel 4.

The English channel announced yesterday that the Limerick double act have secured a pilot television show on the back of their success on the station’s new internet platform, Comedy Blaps, with three irreverent short film sketches.

It is the station’s first commission from their online showcase set up last November to find the next big thing in comedy.
