Little Britain	comment	Cult British Sketch Comedy show with an array of bizarre characters. Performed by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, with narration by former Doctor Who star Tom Baker. It began life as a radio series, and the TV version ran between 2003 and 2005. There was also a two-part Christmas special in 2006. A US version was broadcast on HBO and the BBC in 2008, featuring a number of new characters along with familiar faces from the original show. During its time on air, it was supplemented by special sketches for Comic Relief. A special one-off radio edition named Little Brexit was broadcast in 2019, which featured a number of sketches based around the theme of Brexit, and a series off sketches were produced for the BBC's Big Night In.Noted for its excessive use of the Catchphrase and various stereotypes, most of the humour comes from running gags related to each of its many quirky characters, almost all of which are played by Lucas and Walliams in varying degrees of make-up. See the character sheet for more information.Best-known sketches: Vicky Pollard, chavvy teenage mother, is visited at home by a social worker and admits that she swapped the baby for a Westlife CD. The horrified social worker exclaims "How could you do such a thing?" and Vicky says "I know. They're rubbish!" Lou and Andy visit a swimming pool. A man discovers that his mail-order Thai bride is in fact a "ladyboy". Sebastian, in love with the Prime Minister of Britain (who is his boss), serenades him in the House of Commons with "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera.

Little Britain / int_120d0e3f	comment	Adam Westing: The Narrator occasionally hints at his true identity: "With nothing to watch but repeats on the telly of Doctor Who, Medics and that episode of Blackadder II I'm in..." The Narrator character is something of an exaggeration of Tom Baker's real-life eccentric personality (albeit as "an old fascist," according to the creators).

However, this is averted with Vanessa Feltz, who plays herself, and is spat on by Marjorie Dawes.

Little Britain / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: In the first series, each episode ends with somebody trying to beat a world record, but every attempt fails on a small practicality. When becoming the "tallest man", he is told that they're only measuring from the top of the head down; he is wearing an extremely tall hat. When building the biggest house of cards, he is told (having built an enormous house of cards) that he is not allowed to use sticky tape. When lying in a bath of baked beans, they only have one tin of baked beans. When making the largest pie, it is too big to fit in the oven. The "world's smallest ant" cannot be found. Trying to eat a bowl full of eggs as quickly as possible hits a snag when the spotter hits the wrong button on his timer and erases the recorded time.

He prides himself on being the only gay man in his village and claims that he feels lonely, yet he feels threatened whenever another gay person arrives in the village and gets along with the locals better than he can. Status Quo Is God means that the new gay character won't reappear in the next sketch but one could reinterpret it as Daffydd's unpleasantness (and internalised homophobia) scaring them off. After a while it became apparent that pretty much everyone in the village is openly gay, he's just selectively oblivious.

Godzilla and Godzooky, of all things, gets one in series 3.

He's actually not — see Everyone Is Gay above; his village is quite literally Wales' answer to Provincetown — but don't ever tell him that. It's kind of questionable if he is gay, since he reacts with anger and disgust when men hit on him.

Little Britain / int_e796ce97	comment	Blackface: Quite a lot and often done unironically. Weirdly enough, the first series had a recurring sketch where minstrels (who are characterised as wearing a very exaggerated form of blackface), are treated like a persecuted minority by the rest of British society. The joke was most likely that they could avoid being discriminated against if they just stopped wearing blackface.

When he is finally satisfied with a picture of a disappointed horse, Roy hands over the picture at the exact same moment as Mr Mann hands over the money; they tussle simultaneously, each reluctant to let go.
