David Walliams has denied a split via Twitter with Matt Lucas yet they had been due to write a second series of Come Fly With Me, but BBC sources revealed that it is now on hiatus until the pair finish their individual projects.

David, 39, is now developing a classroom comedy in which he plays a harassed teacher, the first series he has written without Matt. Yesterday he was filming another solo project, Sky One’s new topical show Wall of Fame.

Matt, 37, who returns to Les Miserables in London’s West End next week, is to front The Matt Lucas Awards, a BBC1 comedy in which he hands out “alternative” gongs. He has also said he plans to move to the US next year. The pair became friends after meeting at the National Youth Theatre in 1990, and went on to make millions after creating Little Britain.

A pal said: “They still get on but as far as being working partners is concerned, that had ground to a halt. They both wanted to do completely different things. Neither wants to be defined by the partnership any more. They want to be known as more than those guys that do Little Britain.”

David last week told students at Oxford University: “I want to do something more personal and on a different level. So at the moment we are doing different things. We will re-group at some point and see what the future holds.”

With Nine’s regional affiliate in northern NSW and QLD airing The Block at 7.30pm, instead of 7.00pm like they are in the major cities, there are some variences in nightly programming for NBN when compared to Nine.

This will most likley be the case for those in WIN regional markets as well, who are also airing The Block at 7.30pm. NBN and WIN air ACA at 7pm, after having an hour of news, followed by The Block. On Monday the 20th of June, NBN will air The Block until 8.30pm, followed by the season 4 fianle of The Big Bang Theory. Rescue: Special Ops will be a double starting at 9pm.

Nine will have the final Big Bang at 8pm on Monday, followed by the Come Fly With me season end, with then another double Rescue.

On Tuesday, Come Fly With Me will air it’s final episode at 8pm on NBN, therefore RBT will not be shown, to be followed by normal Nine programming. While on Wednesday only one repeat of Big Bang will be shown. On Thursday NBN will see The Block from 7.30pm for an hour.

8.00 The Big Bang Theory NEW
8.30 Come Fly With Me – season final
9.00 Rescue – double episode

On Tuesday June 21, The Big Bang repeat remains at 7.30pm, RBT at 8pm, Sea Patrol at 8.30, CSI: Miami repeat at 9.30pm.

Wednesday June 22 sees two more Big Bang repeats remaining from 7.30pm, with RPA at 8.30 and the finale of BIG at 9.30pm.

On Thursday June 23, The Block finishes at 8pm, and is followed by the season return of Hot Property at 8pm. At 8.30pm is the premiere of documentary series (is 8.30 Thursday the new doco timeslot for Nine!?) Inside the Human Body.

The first episode is called Creation and covers birth.

From the moment of creation to our last breath, this spectacular series reveals the human body’s ability to amaze and delight. Tonight, the story of the human biological creation is told as we explore surprising medical research revealing the improbable sequence of events that lead to birth. Plus, meet a woman expecting her 16th baby and the oldest conjoined twins in the world.

Not surprisingly, Aussie men and women have been found to have different tastes when it comes to their TV viewing according to the findings of a new research project.

Private Practice tops the list for female viewers in the research data provided by media analysts Fusion Strategy, with three times more women watching the medical drama than men.

The Big Bang Theory has proved the most popular show for male viewers with twice as many men watching compared to women.

Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters and Winners & Losers are high rating shows for women while sports such as NRL and AFL appeal for men but not women.

“The perfect program attracts both men and women, but getting that equal split is very difficult,” Nine’s Melbourne program director Len Downs said.

The shows that come closest to achieving that in this country include Merlin, Come Fly With Me, Hawaii Five-0, Border Security, Customs and Sea Patrol.
