Fangs for the memories, Eddie

Eddie Izzard has signed up to star in a remake of TV's The Munsters . The Sun reports that the Treasure Island actor is to play the part of the womanising vampire Grandpa Munster – portrayed in the original 1960s series by Al Lewis . He takes the role in a new US comedy drama called Mockingbird Lane , a revamped version of the original Munsters show. Well, at least we know he'll be at home wearing makeup and a cape.
