You Just Knew This Was Coming, Yes?

Chris Morris has a new TV script idea.

Last week, a production company began seeking actors for “a TV film about a bunch of Pakistani lads living in Britain” that Morris is writing and directing for Channel 4.

Morris fansites have been speculating for months about a rumoured “suicide bomber” project. On the Cookd and Bombd site, a well-informed fan envisaged the film as being much like an “Islamic Young Ones”.

In the casting call itself, one character, Azzam, is described as “the sort of guy who’d protest against cartoons in a bomb belt”.

Here's part of the "casting breakdown":-
