Life's Too Short is an upcoming sitcom starring Warwick Davis to be aired on BBC2. Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant will write and direct the show much like they did with their previous BBC sitcom's The Office and Extras. Warwick will play himself in this observational comedy based on his real life trials and tribulations being an actor with dwarfism. The show is similar in style to that of Larry David's HBO show Curb your Enthusiasm as it has a very similar concept and will be shot in a single-camera style. When speaking of Warwick in a recent interview Ricky Gervais stated that "pound for pound he is one of the funniest men I know". Gervais & Merchant have stated that for this project they plan to focus purely on comedy rather than the mix of comedy and drama that their previous projects have consisted of.
Production
A non-broadcast pilot for Life's Too Short will be shot in summer 2010 and will be overseen by Extras producer Charlie Hanson. Gervais confirmed via his blog that they will probably shoot 6 episodes for the first season. In April 2010 Gevais announced that the first production meeting has been held and it was "very exciting". Warwick Davis confirmed on his official website that the show will air on BBC2.
