First shown on Christmas Day, Matt Lucas and David Walliams's follow-up to Little Britain is a spoof of the various fly-on-the-flying-wall airport docs that littered our screens in the early 2000s. So far, so topical. The tight confines of the setting give the show a bit (a bit) more nuance than Little Britain and - depending on your thoughts on rich white comedians blacking up as an African coffee stall employee and a young Asian rudeboy - there are some laughs. Take budget airline boss Omar, who boasts: "I've not had a plane crash since Tuesday", and mismatched married couple Geoff and Sue, who carry more than a hint of The Fast Show's Roy and Renée.
