Little Britain's Matt Lucas and David Walliams return in this mockumentary about an airport. New caricatures include bickering husband-and-wife pilots, gossipy check-in girls, a paparazzi photographer and the owner of a budget airline. With near-the-knuckle humour, cross-dressing and "blacking up", be warned it won't be to everyone's taste.

Come Fly With Me 'Online Book'

For the last month or two I've been working on some web stuff to tie in with Come Fly With Me. In a way what I've been doing is writing a comedy spin-off book for the show. Only as a website and before the programme has started.

Kevin Cecil, BBC Comedy, 21st December 2010

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.

Come Fly With Me: fasten your seatbelts...

Matt Lucas and David Walliams's follow-up to 'Little Britain' is an airport mockumentary that takes their brazenly un-PC humour to startling new levels. Can such contentious comedy still fly in the 21st century? Dominic Cavendish predicts a bumpy ride.

What the Little Britain boys did next

Matt Lucas and David Walliams introduce their new airport mockumentary Come Fly With Me on Christmas Day. Five years in the making, it features dresses, wigs and catchphrases. But do the duo really expect it to be as big as Little Britain?
