Anchors away for sequel

Hair-bear Will Ferrell to step in as Anchorman again

Great Odin's raven! It's the best news of the week. They want to make an Anchorman sequel.

Incidentally that's not a diaper full of Indian food you can smell. No, we've broken out the Sex Panther to celebrate.

In a statement worthy of jazz-flute playing, news room legend Ron Burgundy himself, director Adam McKay announced that 'Will and I are like 'let's do Anchorman 2.''

There's no word yet whether the rest of the Channel 4 news team – Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner – will be involved.

Nor is there any sign whether Christina Applegate will be back as Veronica Corningstone. In fact there's very little news at all, other than McKay's somewhat rambling announcement in the Sun that it will, like, happen.

Sometime. 'You're talking, like, in two years time,' said McKay. 'But we are going to do it, for sure.

'We’re dying to do it.' Some might say you should never go back. But maybe it'll be like the Sex Panther and 60 per cent of the time, it works every time...
