Simon Fuller, the creator of such pop-culture phenomenon as "American Idol" and "The Spice Girls", is considering developing another British hit series for U.S. Television - the BBC show "Little Britain". Behind the program are the two popular comedians Matt Lucas and David Walliams.It is not clear whether Lucas and Walliams want Fuller to adapt "Little Britain" for an American Audience or develop a whole new show featuring the two comedians, reports BBC News. In the case of another popular comedy show that started out on BBC, "The Office", the creator and lead actor Ricky Gervais acted as Executive Producer on the American version that airs on NBC, but does not act in the show himself.
