Comedy duo Mel and Sue are set to reunite on screen as for their first ever sitcom, playing two best friends who are pretty terrible assassins. The former Bake Off and Generation Game presenters will play best friends Fran and Jamie in Sky One's six-part show, Hitmen, who try their hand at contract killing.
