Creators Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill have called a press conference for next Wednesday to announce “an exciting new venture”.

The announcement was handled in part by the SECC, leading to speculation that the comedy about two elderly friends who live next door to each other in a Glasgow tower block will make a return to its stage origins.
