Comedian and writer Dom Joly has said that a new Trigger Happy film is “possible”.

During an appearance on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Channel 4, Steph McGovern asked Dom whether, 20 years on, he might bring Trigger Happy TV back.

Joly replied: “If you’d asked me that question a week ago I’d have gone, ‘No I’m too old for it, I’m a travel writer.’ But, very weirdly, I have just… started re-collaborating with Sam [Cadman] who I made Trigger Happy with and we haven’t done anything since Trigger Happy stopped. And it’s possible, just a tiny possibility, that we might have a movie. Like a sort of weird movie…”

He continued: “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 and 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.”

Dom also told Steph of his dislike for the work ‘pranking’, saying: “I hate that word pranking for many reasons. Mainly rhyming but I hate the word pranking, I prefer ‘hidden camera art’. I’m hidden camera arting.”
