Both shows launched as part of last month’s Funny Fortnight season.

Bad Sugar, written by Peep Show’s Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, will be based on the pilot episode which starred Julia Davis, Olivia Colman and Sharon Horgan. Centred on the dysfunctional, wealthy mining dynasty family – The Caudwells, it’s “a peculiarly British take on telenovela style melodramas, played for laughs”.

Executive producer Sophie Clarke-Jervoise commented: “We’re thrilled to be making Bad Sugar for Channel 4. The combination of Sam and Jesse writing, together with three comedy goddesses, make it a dream project.”

Bain and Armstrong added: “We’re looking forward to spending 2013 writing for the three funniest women in Britain, while the producers stockpile mink stoles, shoulder pads and hairspray.”

Starring an entire cast of disabled talent, I’m Spazticus will mix hidden camera and mockumentary style, featuring individuals with varying disabilities pranking members of the public.

Nerys Evans, Acting Head of Comedy at Channel 4, commented: “We’re delighted to announce a series of Bad Sugar, not only with the brilliant writing talents of Sam and Jesse but also starring the country’s most ridiculously talented comedy cast. I’m Spazticus showcases some of the best disabled talent around and I’m pleased that we are going to see a second series of hilarious pranks.”
