The BBC has announced a number of new comedy shows, including six-part series The Tracey Ullman Show.

Tracey Ullman's last BBC series - A Kick up the Eighties and Three of a Kind - aired in the 1980s, after which she concentrated on a US TV career.

The actress and comedian - who will portray various characters living in, or visiting, the UK - said: "It's a privilege to be doing this. I still feel as inspired to inhabit people as I did when I was 6, standing on the window sill in my mother's bedroom, putting on a show.

"The BBC has changed a bit since the last time I worked here, when it was all men in bow ties who had completed National Service. Now there are a lot more women. Great ones."

Her old U.S show is of course best known for being the launching pad for The Simpsons

Would be cool if they could make a few minisodes for this new show, but with the UK rights belonging to Channel 4, probably not

Also after Ullman tried to sue The Simpsons for more money. I doubt they'd wanna work with her.

So this is a sketch comedy miniseries?

It's good to see Ullman in more stuff. The last thing I remember her in was a terrible John Waters film called "A Dirty Shame."

Yeah, I remember how she launched The Simpsons, and that was cool. So is this only airing in the UK then?
