Comedian Joe Lycett has announced a new television venture in collaboration with Channel 4, titled 'The Lycett Arms.' The project involves the creation of a temporary pub located in east London, which will serve as the primary setting for the series.

While specific details regarding the format of the show remain limited, the project is framed as a celebration of British pub culture. Lycett, 38, will host the program from the site.
