 Jamezz's recommendation | |
Surreal comedy. You can't beat it.
Jokes get repetitive.
Little Britain is surely one of last year's best comedies depicting life in the surreal 'Little Britain' a mirror image of our Britain with a bit of craziness thrown in through good measure. The comedy acts as a sort of docu-drama but the filming is like that of a sitcom. Tom Baker of Doctor Who fame narrates this wild jaunt through the towns of Herby, Llandewi Breffi among others with lines like 'It's quarter to (insert person's name here) in the Welsh village of Llandewi Breffi...' which sets up the scene. The funniest sketches for me are: Vicky Pollard, Sebastian and Micheal (The Prime minister) and Anne the mental patient.
If you liked this check out Lucas & Walliams' 'Rock Profile' with Jamie Theakston on which Lucas & Walliams play different music celebrities while being interviewed by Theakston on UK Gold.
Facts:
Bernard Chumley from the first series was Lucas' stage act before Little Britain and Marjorie Dawes made regular appearances on Vic & Bob's 'Shooting Stars'.
David Walliams also starred in the BBC's sci-fi drama 'Ted & Alice' with Dawn French and the more serious 'Attachments'.
