    In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

    While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

    This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

    Having grown up amid a barrage of references to this shows, I thought it was about time I gave it a watch. Unfortunately, I was ten years too late. I can imagine this brand of over-the-top, overacted craziness being funny to my early teenage self at the time. Watching it now, however, it is crass, unimaginative, repetitive, surprisingly dated, and worst of all boring. It might work if a few more of the characters were more than lazy stereotypes and their catchphrases had some comic weight, but unfortunately being slapped with wet fish after wet fish rather loses its appeal after an occasional chuckle to begin with. After no more than a couple of episodes, you know exactly how each skit will pan out, and I often found myself accurately predicting exact punchlines well before they appeared. I persisted with it in the hope it might mature, but if anything it gets worse, simply because it gets more tiresome the more you see the same thing over and over again. The only saving grace is Anthony Head as the Prime Minister, and that's only a drop in the ocean. Dreadful, clumsy, and hopefully to be consigned to history. Not the classic I was hoping for.

    'Little Britain' was huge back in the early noughties here in the UK. It's catchphrases were part of everyday slang, and merchandise flew off the shelves. It stars out of Matt Lucas and David Walliams was proclaimed to be a 'classic'.Now look at it. Go into any charity shop and you'll see DVD's of it, unloved and unwanted. It's not repeated by the BBC, who loved it at the time and both Lucas and Walliams seem to want to distance themselves from it as quickly as possible.The reason for this is through the passing of time we've realised that it was rubbish, unfunny twaddle, that only highlighted out low the standard of British comedy was at the time.

    well i have been watching some episodes of little Britain yesterday. so what can i say about it? at the beginning it was a bit entertaining, i didn't laugh (don't like the jokes or get them), but i was entertained in a good way. but that soon stopped after a few episodes, because they began repeating the jokes. they even had the same dialogue in two of the village gay sketches, the only difference was his clothes (thats really cheap). but i did like the acting. the two main actors does a good job in all their roles. when i compare this show too other sketch shows i have been watching (most of them German), this is by far the best one. if you get the humor you will enjoy it, some of my friends do, and they really enjoy the show. but if you don't get the humor, i can only recommend it if, you have a hangover and just want to watch some brain dead TV.

    I adore well written comedy from the US and UK but this is not it. While sometimes there are funny moments the majority of it is predictable and a bit pointless. I don't know if its just me but Im sure its intentionally dumbed down. I don't know the reason why because undoubtedly the two writers can write a much better script ( well I hope they can) While the show attacks all groups and genders it is in fact riddled with political correctness in every sketch. Its to much to go in to here, but its the usual promotion of certain leftist agendas and tries at every opportunity to ridicule any right wing thinking. To cover the tracks of an agenda no group is left out of the scenery whether its gays, fat people, Christians, the Pope, Hindus, posh people, gypsies, Scottish people etc but the one group they have never made fun out of is Muslims. Its not that I care one bit whether they do or not but its an obvious display of double standards. However the show is on the BBC and no one on the BBC would dare put a Muslim or Islam in a comedy sketch.Some would say Im just miserable and shouldn't let the politics be involved. Well perhaps I am miserable but thats why I watch a lot of comedy and I cannot ignore the political agenda when its drilled in to me. It wouldn't be so bad if it were done with much more intelligence but its not.The two main actors are very good, but I see the taller one as the main talent by a long way. Everyone seems to like the shorter one the best but I think thats because he is short and fat. I think we will see the taller one go on to much greater things. Im also sure these two can write much better comedy and when they do I will happily write a glowing review.
