Dom Joly wants to make a Trigger Happy movie

OHMYGOSSIP — Dom Joly is considering a ‘Trigger Happy’ film.
The 54-year-old comedian found huge success with his hidden camera comedy series ‘Trigger Happy TV’ in the early 2000s and he has teased that there have been discussions to bring the format back as a movie.
He told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “I have just started re-collaborating with Sam (Cadman) who I made ‘Trigger Happy’ with and we haven’t done anything since it stopped. And it’s possible, just a tiny possibility that we might have a movie.
“It’s something we always wanted to do and every time we were asked to do one, we’d go in and we’d meet people with high polo necks. They’d sort of stroke their beards and they’d go, ‘What is the film?’ I’d start telling them and they’d go, ‘And what’s the narrative arc?’ And I’m like, ‘There isn’t a narrative arc, I just want a big funny movie.’ And it looks like finally we might be able to do that.”
‘Trigger Happy TV’ – which ran for two series from 2000 to 2003 on Channel 4 – saw Dom startling members of the public with his outrageous gags, with his most famous sketch seeing him talk into a giant mobile phone as bemused onlookers stared at him.
The show which recently re-emerged on Netflix has since won over a young fan base, many of which are the offspring of the parents who originally watched the show.
Dom previously admitted he was proud that ‘Trigger Happy TV’ had found a new generation of fans Joly said: “Those parents are doing what I’d never dare do. Where you show your kids what you watched when you were younger, half expecting they’ll go, ‘Oh, F*** off!”
Dom who is also fascinated by the dark tourism industry and has written multiple memoirs about his adventures as a dark tourist will resume his nationwide tour in March titled ‘Dom Joly’s Holiday Snaps: Travel Comedy In The Danger Zone’.
So far the comedian who has been to 106 countries and counting says that edgier destinations like Iran and Syria are worth a visit over ones where “you’re never more than 100 metres away from a Starbucks”.
