Matt Berry, Kevin Eldon and Spencer Jones appear to have joined the cast of Vic & Bob's film The Glove, British Comedy Guide can exclusively reveal.

Gina McKee, Dan Renton Skinner, Lauren O'Rourke, Bobby Mair, Sunil Patel and Rob Carter are also pictured in photos of a recent script reading at the London offices of production company StudioPOW, viewable on its website.

In November it was reported that Succession star Brian Cox would also star in the long-gestating feature, which is slated to shoot next month.

In the works for nearly two decades, Reeves & Mortimer play childhood friends in the film, who own a junk shop together where they both work and live. Profits are down and with their futures in jeopardy, they approach their obnoxious landlord to explain their "rent" problems.

Rather than helping them, the unsavoury character gives them a choice: eviction, or locate for him a rare and unusual item ... Michael Jackson's "training" glove.

Last year Jim Moir, aka Vic Reeves, announced that it was likely to be the character of Reeves' final on-screen outing.

The Glove will be directed by Tim Kirkby (Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, Fleabag) for StudioPOW and produced by Perry Trevers and Gina Powell at StudioPOW and Kevin Proctor and Nicola Holt at YES! Media, while co-producers are Patricia Rybarcyk and Sacha Bennett of Three Wise Monkeys.

Further character details have yet to be announced.

Intriguingly, a photo from a meeting at the production offices in 2018 remains alongside the new photos, suggesting some of those present at the earlier readthrough may also still appear in the film - Noel Fielding, Matt Lucas, Paul Whitehouse, Morgana Robinson, Tim Key, Tony Pitts and Tony Way, with the latter currently listed on the website as appearing in the feature.

BCG has approached StudioPOW for more details.
