Little Britain

Everyone's familiar with the typically English surrealist recurring character sketch show Little Britain. It has come under fire for mocking less priveliged and easy to exploit social groups such as the mentally ill, the unemployed, gays, transvestites, fat people foreigners and the poor. Each sketch relying heavily on repeating themes, tired premises and stereotypes. Little Britain was very funny at first, but now the catchphrase yelping, caricaturing, pale imitations, half arsed celebrity appearances and repetitive sketches have just got to stop. Its been running for three seasons now, with any number of specials, abberations, parodies and one-offs that seem ...  Read the complete review

Little Britain is a comedy sketch show performed by Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Little Britain is by far one of the funniest sketch shows I have ever seen unlike some of the others where you just have people acting silly to try and make you laugh, these have more structure and it is just simply more funny. Matt Lucas plays a varity of characters including Majorie, the fat fighter leader even though she is rather fat herself. She is very mean to the people in the group. There is an asian lady in the group and everytime she talks, she acts like she can't understand her and asks her to speak english which is funny. Lucas also plays the famous Vicky ...  Read the complete review

My opinion will differ from most others, as having checked the past reviews for this show it seems that 99% of the people gave this five stars and thought it was hilarious.

Then on top of this there is narration from Tom Baker which makes the show a little bit different. There are also other actors who appear now and then like Anthony Head. ...  Read the complete review

An original and often amusing comedy show written by and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Here are some of my thoughts on the show: * The length of the show is right, half an hour is ample and it keeps it fresh and tight * Dafyd is a strong character, one of the highlights thanks to some awful costumes and horrible personality * Not fond of the Bitty character which seems to be in bad taste * Some jokes started funny yet are becoming very repetitious. Lou and Andy is a clever concept, but how many times can you play on the same joke that he can walk? * Walliams seems to only have one voice, that camp raspy ...  Read the complete review
