"Stephen Merchant has admitted that he has not had time to think about the second series of sitcom Life&amp;#039;s Too Short. The Hello Ladies comic, who wrote the Warwick Davis sitcom with Office partner Ricky Gervais, spoke of his &amp;quot;exhausted&amp;quot; state of mind in an interview with Zoo. When asked of plans for more episodes, he confessed: &amp;quot;At the moment, I can&amp;#039;t imagine ever working again because I&amp;#039;ve been so exhausted this year.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve done the second series of An Idiot Abroad, the tour, 75 dates\u2026 frankly, I&amp;#039;m exhausted. In a way, it&amp;#039;s a good job I didn&amp;#039;t find a wife.  &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#039;t have found time to charm and entertain her. I&amp;#039;d have to get another comedian in to pleasure her.&amp;quot; Gervais last month revealed on his Twitter page that a new run of Life&amp;#039;s Too Short is &amp;quot;planned for spring 2013&amp;quot;, after he was linked to a new show on Channel 4 as YouTube alter ego Derek Noakes. Life&amp;#039;s Too Short, which aired on BBC Two, recently suffered a ratings defeat to The Only Way Is Essex&amp;#039;s Christmas special on ITV2.
