Kermit, Miss Piggy et al shall return with a new leading man (or a Muppet)

But will probably contain Muppets.

What do The Muppets, Ali G and Flight Of The Conchords all have in common? Apart from the occasional bit of humourous racism, we mean? Why the STICKY TOUCH of James Bobin, of course! Co-creator of Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous character, creative brain behind the Conchords’ TV success and director of The Muppets – how on earth has this bloke stayed under our radar for so long? Probably the racist stuff, to be honest. CHEAT SHEET!

A bit… Maybe.

Hobbit news that isn’t TERRIBLE news? What brave new world is this?
