ITV commissions brand new Keith Lemon series – KEITH LEMON’S LEMONAID - for primetime Saturday evenings
ITV has ordered a brand new family comedy entertainmentseries for the new year featuring Keith Lemon (aka Leigh Francis) as host. Keith Lemon’s LEMONAID will see Keith tackling a variety of problems and helping dreams come true, aided by a different celebrity helper each week. The show airs for a 6 episode run starting early Spring2012.
Each week, Keith will meet real people with real problems and - in his own inimitably mischievous and anarchic style – he will seek to tackle those problems and turn them on their head.
Head of Comedy Entertainment talkbackTHAMES, Dan Baldwin said:
