Huffington Post had a brief article discussing a new role for Ian McKellen. A set of 6 3-minute episodes of a new show called Vicious Old Queens following a committed pair. Here is the text of the article: Sir Ian McKellen is TV-bound with "Vicious Old Queens" for ITV.
According to The British Comedy Guide, McKellen and Derek Jacobi will co-star in the sitcom about an elderly homosexual couple living in Covent Garden. "Family Guy" writer and producer Gary Janetti wrote the project, which is not an American show, but it could find its way to US shores. "Vicious Old Queens" will be six 30-minute episodes.
McKellen recently spoke about how being gay made him a good actor. "[W]e spent so long pretending to be straight, to be someone else, that eventually we became very good at it," McKellen said, according to Business Insider.
While known primarily for his film work, McKellen's other TV credits include "The Prisoner," "Coronation Street" and several TV movies. Source: www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/29/vicious-old-queens-ian-mckellen_n_2038773.html?utm_hp_ref=tv

Eli is posting clipped versions of the show: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5El_Nl2I4cI apologize, I don't know why I posted this in the short films category when I started the thread a few months ago as it clearly belongs in the other shows category. I have asked for it to be moved, but so for it has not been.

Ohh I didn't know there was a thread for this show here. I just finished watching this series a few weeks ago and I loooove it. <33 So happy it's getting a second season although I had read before watching it that the second season was always in order they just have to work around Ian McKellen's filming schedule, which can mean more than a year of waiting~

Thank you Zathras for moving the thread. I had asked one of the other admin people to move it months ago. No problem. I had looked into it briefly before the forum was upgraded and it wasn't obvious that it was even possible at the time. This time it was pretty simple.
