New BBC Comedy Series

Marc Warren, Alexander Armstrong and Keeley Hawes star in a new BBC One comedy drama series - Mutual Friends - following the trials, tribulations, highs and lows of the increasingly entangled lives of a group of old friends.

The six-part series explores issues such as death, adultery, marriage, divorce, parenthood and even breaking and entering.

Mutual Friends debuts later this month.

Nigel Lythgoe Steps Down

Nigel Lythgoe has confirmed he is stepping down from American Idol.

The English producer, who has been with the show since it began in 2002, said that he was leaving to pursue a new venture with his Idol producing partner, Simon Fuller.

"Due to the huge success of So You Think You Can Dance, my summer will be taken up by travels to South Africa, Australia, and Canada to work on local versions of the show," he said in a statement.

"I will step back from my day-to-day producing work on American Idol and will be devoting my time to a new venture with Simon Fuller."

But he admitted that leaving would be difficult.

"It's like giving birth to a baby and letting it go. Just talking about it is tough," he continued.

However, the 59-year-old insisted that he will continue to work his producing and judging duties on So You Think You Can Dance, the reality dance show he co-created with Simon in 2005.
