Peter Kay Hoping To Repeat Inbetweeners Success With Phoenix Nights Movie

Peter Kay has said that he has written a film version of Phoenix Nights.

Kay played nightclub owner Brian Potter in the Channel 4 sitcom, which ran from 2001 to 2002.

Following the success of The Inbetweeners Movie, Kay's old show could be the next Channel 4 show to make the leap onto the big screen.

He told Real Radio North West: "It's written, I've written it. It's done. They've even asked me, with this Inbetweeners film, if you want to make a film of it.

"The biggest problem is getting everyone together."

The biggest problem would lie in the fact that, following the success of the show, Kay and co-star Dave Spikey fell out, with Spikey claiming that Kay took all of the credit, despite Phoenix Nights being something of a team effort.

The Inbetweeners Movie has become the most successful British comedy movie of all time, having taken £39.4 million a the box office in the first month of release.
