What the Little Britain boys did next

Interesting to see the first picture just released from the new Matt Lucas/David Walliams BBC sitcom Come Fly With Me. The comedy is set in an airport with the duo playing various colourful characters. And colour may be the key word here.

As series three began, Little Britain had become huge; the air was thick with its catchphrases ("I'm a laydee", "I'm the only gay in the village") and the transfer of Matt Lucas and David Walliams's sketch show from BBC2 to BBC1 guaranteed a whole new, bigger audience. But then the arguments began: was it cutting edge, or just coarse? Some viewers didn't see the funny side of new characters such as Mrs Emery, an incontinent old lady. Make up your own minds as BBC3 starts a re-run. All the old favourites are here, from monstrous Marjorie Dawes to Vicky "yeah but, no but" Pollard.

Matt Lucas launches privacy claim against Daily Mail

Comedian Matt Lucas has launched a legal action against the Daily Mail claiming a story about his recovery after the death of former civil partner breached his privacy.

David Walliams has revealed some of the secrets of his and Matt Lucas' new airport-based comedy. He said that one of the characters will be a "trolley dolly with really buck teeth."

The project, Come Fly with Me, will be a spoof of docusoaps like Airport and Airline. But David said it will have all new characters and won't recycle favourites from Little Britain.

The show is due to be aired on BBC1 this Christmas.
