Comedian and actor Chris Langham remains on bail after his child porn court case this morning was adjourned until Wednesday June 28th.
Langham, 57, from Cranbrook in Kent, appeared before magistrates in Sevenoaks this morning charged with making indecent images of children.
The star of BBC's political satire The Thick of It was first arrested in November over allegations that he used his computer to download child porn.
He was subsequently charged on May 10th with 15 counts of making indecent images of children.
Kent Police have said they will not be commenting or issuing any further information as this is now a matter for the courts.
The married father-of-five has won widespread praise for his work in The Thick of It and won the best comedy actor award at the British Comedy Awards last year and a Bafta for best comedy performance this year.
He is also famous for playing Roy Mallard in People Like Us on radio and TV, and being the only British writer of the hit 1970s series, The Muppet Show.
Langham has also written and starred in numerous other BBC TV series, including Help alongside Paul Whitehouse and Kiss Me Kate with Caroline Quentin and Amanda Holden.
