The Horne Section TV Show piloted in 2021, and following the band's multiple appearances on The Last Leg and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Channel 4 has now been picked up the show for a six-part series.

Fiona McDermott, Head of Comedy at Channel 4, commented: “Alex is an extraordinarily talented comic; unique, charming and unpredictable.

“The Horne Section TV Show is set to mirror all these qualities, with a unique blend of talk show and sitcom, music and mayhem and we can’t wait to share it with the Channel 4 viewers.”

Horne has worked with the band since 2010, when they first played together at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Several members have performed with top recording artists including Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse and George Ezra.

Horne said: “I've always thought the title of a show is indicative of the quality of the writing within a show, so The Horne Section TV Show looks set to be pretty special.

“I've known some of these musicians for over forty years and I can safely say that it's very weird that any of them are now going to be in a six-part scripted comedy series on Channel 4."
