Little Britain

Little Britain special to be made for Royal Wedding?

Little Britain stars Matt Lucasand David Walliams are to bring back their hit comedy sketch show for a one-off, themed around the April nuptials.

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.

Little Britain dolls: Monkey says no!

Little Britain's Lou and Andy talking plastic dolls, complete with Andy's wheelchair, have just arrived at Monkey Towers. No, Monkey can't quite believe it either.

Little Britain stars front Nationwide adverts

David Walliams and Matt Lucas are to star in a series of Nationwide adverts. Characters including Vicky Polland and Lou and Andy are to appear in campaign, also featuring Fabio Capello and England players.

Little Britain's Vicky Pollard takes catchphrase crown

''Yeah but no but yeah but'', the retort used by Little Britain's ill-educated teenager Vicky Pollard, has been voted the funniest ever television catchphrase.

At last! BBC3 finally presents its miniscule audience with a programme that's worth watching. Although clearly produced with one eye on the terrestrial broadcast that will undoubtedly follow, Little Britain's debut on BBC3 has raised the quality of the channel's rotten comedy output significantly (which, let's face it wasn't very hard to do).

Matt Lucas: 'I feel very vulnerable'

"Apart from one-off specials, there are no plans for any more series of Little Britain, either here or in the US, but when I ask if he'd grown bored of it, he answers before I've even got the question out..."

A largely successful US spin off. I'm not sure that having Sebastian as the British Prime Minister works all that well and the Vicky Pollard stuff hasn't been great, but there's still much to enjoy.

Radio Times Review

Can you hear that sound? It's the final nails being hammered into the coffin of Little Britain with the truly dismal Little Britain USA.

Little Britain USA Episode 2 Review

David Walliams and Matt Lucas are stuck in a comedy rut trying to shock desensitized teens and twentysomethings. The excuse here is that they're just introducing old characters to fresh-eyed Americans, so they have every right to recycle. So, for British audiences tuning into this unofficial 'fourth series', it's all very flat, repetitive and brainless.
