Peter Kay says a Phoenix Nights film could be on the way

Sadly, it’s been a long time since Phoenix Nights ended after only two series – 17 years, in fact, with the series coming to a conclusion on September 12th 2002.

To celebrate the show, Peter Kay has been doing screenings of it around the UK, with the proceeds going to charity.

While the tour is yet to hit the North, there were screenings in London over the weekend, in which Peter teased a Phoenix Nights film.

The bad news is the Bolton comedian flat out confirmed there will be no more series of it, before getting fans excited with his comments about a film.

According to the Bolton News, the funnyman said in a pre-recorded video at the charity screening: “People always ask, ‘Will there be more Phoenix Nights?’ and I can now confirm there won’t — but I am thinking of a film.”

Peter went on to joke: “It should have been the twentieth anniversary but I got the dates wrong. I arranged it, booked the venue, sorted the posters and then realised, I don’t think it’s been 20 years.”

These screenings are the first time the series has ever been shown on the big screen, and the Manchester event will take place at the O2 Apollo in February, with multiple screenings over the weekend of the 7th-8th.

While this is sold out, there is also an event at Blackpool Opera House on Saturday February 29th – with a few resale tickets still going.

The event is screening both series of the show, with all profits going to Cancer Research UK.
