Matt Lucas Talks Netflix’s POMPIDOU in Exclusive Interview

During a recent press day for Netflix’s 2015 slate I sat down with English comedian, screenwriter, actor and singer Matthew Richard “Matt” Lucas to talk about POMPIDOU, the series that he co-created alongside Julian Dutton and Ashley Blaker.

POMPIDOU is now available on Netflix.

In a clapped-out old caravan, parked in front of his now crumbling estate, lives Pompidou (Matt Lucas), a tubby, pompous, penniless, eccentric, yet ultimately lovable aristocrat. He is an elderly oddball who has fallen on hard times. Alex MacQueen plays the character of Hove, Pompidou’s long-suffering butler. Each episode sees Pompidou and Hove face a new challenge – from stealing back a priceless bowl they once owned, to extracting a live bird which has flown into Hove’s mouth and is nesting in his stomach.
