Co Antrim's Liam Neeson and actress Helena Bonham Carter are to join the cast of the BBC Two comedy, Life's Too Short.

Written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the seven-part sitcom follows the life and times of showbiz dwarf, Warwick Davis.
With his career on the slide, a massive tax bill caused by his useless accountant, and a wife who's divorcing him, Warwick has no choice but to open his doors to a film crew 24/7.
The show is also starring Warwick Davis, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the rest of the cast includes Johnny Depp, Sting, Steve Carell, Cat Deeley, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Les Dennis, Keith Chegwin and Shaun Williamson.
