Stephen Merchant: Hello Ladies!

I never set out to make people cringe. I just think these things are funny!

Stephen Merchant is known as half of the brains behind some of the most iconic comedy shows ever made - think The Office, Extras, Life's Too Short and An Idiot Abroad. Now he's back (minus Ricky Gervais) with a brand new show, Hello Ladies, promising to take his trademark cringe comedy to a whole new level.

Hello Ladies follows the hapless quest and dating mishaps of web designer Stuart (played by Stephen) who moves from the UK to LA in the hope of infiltrating the world of Tinseltown's beautiful people. Sadly, they have no intention of letting him in! We caught up with Stephen to find out what laughs the new series has in store.

They'd have to make the Tardis slightly bigger...
