Steve Coogan is to star as Stan Laurel alongside John C Reilly as Oliver Hardy in a new BBC film about the comedy duo.

Stan & Ollie, written by Jeff Pope - who worked with Coogan on Oscar-nominated Philomena - tells the story of their final tour in 1953.

Head of BBC Films Christine Langan said Coogan and Reilly were "dream casting" to portray the "genius creative marriage" of the pair.

Why do I find it interesting? Or why is it being made?

I'd imagine there's some good drama to be had from this snap shop from the tail end of the duo's careers... I'm also a big fan of Steve Coogan's too generally! I suspect he's seen something in the piece he likes!
