Director Daniel Adams and music producer Michael Flanders have teamed up to launch Spiderworx Media, a $50 million fund created to produce theatrical films and serve as both a music publisher and P&A fund. Flanders, the former head of A&R of Arctic/BMG Australia and an award-winning music producer in both Australia and Nashville, raised the capital for the new company through his previous investors in the music publishing world. Adams will service the creative end of the business, directing most of the projects that Spiderworx produces and hiring other directors for the rest, though all will be produced by Flanders.

The former House actor told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs host Kirsty Young that he and his former comedy partner "often" talk about working together again.

"We are now not only the age of cabinet ministers, we are actually probably older than half the cabinet."
Fry and Laurie first met at Cambridge University, before making four series of the sketch show A Bit of Fry and Laurie. They also starred together in a TV adaptation of PG Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster.
Speaking about Fry, Laurie said that he had a "pretty instantaneous" friendship...
