"Britain, Britain, Britain, land of technological achievement. We've had running water for ... more
over ten years, an underground tunnel that links
us to Peru, and we invented the cat," narrates Tom
Baker gleefully at the beginning of Little
Britain, introducing the first hit show for
fledgling digital channel BBC3 and the best new
comedy since The League of Gentlemen. In fact,
creators and stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams
acknowledge a large debt to the League, not only
in the gallery of grotesques all performed by the
duo, but also in the way in which the familiar
sketch-show format  is expanded by clever use of
locale: not Royston Vasey here, but "Britain"
itself in all its perverse splendour: from Darkly
Noon, where chavette Vicky Pollard seems all too
frighteningly real ("Yeah, but no, but yeah. Shut
up!"), to the Welsh village with only one gay, to
the council estate where buck-toothed Lou looks
after apparently wheelchair-bound Andy ("Yeah, I
know"), to Kelsey Grammar School where pupils are
baffled and confused by their fusty teacher, and
many more besides. It's unashamedly puerile stuff
and, as with The Fast Show before it, many
sketches rely on a single incident or catchphrase
repeated over and over in only slightly different
contexts. But it works brilliantly, thanks to the
characterisations of Lucas and Walliams, their
sharp eye for the eccentricities of modern life,
and of course that surreal voiceover from Tom
Baker.  On the DVD: This is a handsome two-disc
set chock full of tasty extras. Lucas and Walliams
provide a surprisingly serious commentary, joined
in turn by producer Myfanwy Moore and director
Steve Bendelack (a League of Gentlemen alumnus).
There's the original pilot episode, plus plenty of
deleted scenes, live sketches, several
behind-the-scenes segments, an interview with
Jonathan Ross, and a half-hour Best of Rock
Profiles, the hilarious spoof series in which
Walliams and Lucas impersonated various rock
stars. If that's not enough, you can also select
from a gallery to watch all the sketches featuring
your favourite characters. Another triumph for
Auntie Beeb. --Mark Walker

Little Britain: Series 1 & 2 is an economical and
entertainment-packed way to catch up with one of
the comedy phenomenon of the decade.  A sketch
show focusing on an eclectic selection of
characters, there's plenty here to enjoy. From
catchphrase comedy, including Dafydd, the only gay
in the village, and the
yeah-but-no-but-yeah-spouting Vicky Pollard,
through to quieter, wryly observed takes on
everyday life, it's hard not to be entertained. 
It's tricky to pick highlights, but the trick here
is that the show' creators--Matt Lucas and David
Walliams--have created numerous memorable
characters, and have a great knack at putting them
in tightly written, at times gut-bustingly funny
scenarios. Witness the adventures of
wheelchair-bound Andy, as he leads his carer Lou
on a merry dance, for evidence.  Little Britain
isn't a flawless show by any means, and there are
a fair share of troughs to the undeniable peaks.
Yet Lucas and Walliams, through both their writing
and performances, keep the laughs coming regularly
and reliably. For Little Britain is fast,
frequently very funny indeed, and has enough
moments to ensure these discs will be spun time
and time again.--Simon Brew

Review of Little Britain - Series 1 DVD by steerpyke

Advantages: the launch of a classic, great scripts and two comedic giants
Disadvantages: no comedy will be everyones cup of tea

Little Britain has become a massive phenomenon in a very short space of time, though creators David Walliams and Matt Lucas certainly can't be accused of not having paid their dues to their craft. Like most of these apparent meteoric rises to fame, its probably been an over night success that's taken many years as the old saying goes. David Williams (name changed for his equity card) who describes himself as 6'2", left-handed, a little bit Welsh ...
...the radio 4 version of Little Britain. After two well received radio runs and a TV pilot, the first series was aired on television in 2003. Welcome to their weird world. The premise behind the show is a look at a warped version of Britain through a series of sketches mainly featuring a recurring core of characters. The narration between the sketches, a successful hangover from the radio show, in itself is a great piece of writing and the coup of ... Read review

Little Brained Britain
Review of Little Britain - Series 1 DVD by liz1102

Advantages: Funny because its real and relatable
Disadvantages: Sometimes annoying, very polically uncorrect

...DVDs to take for watching. Little Britain season one was one such gift. I'd seen a few of the shows on TV and shown a mild interest in it, but I wasn't hooked on it or fussed either way. The first time I watched the season through I was in hysterics. Each of the characters brings something different and you can follow their situation through the episodes. If you can't follow the many individual characters by watching episode to episode, there is ...
...become a universal sign for Little Britain fans. A few characters in brief: Vicky Pollard - 'No but yeah but no but what happened was…' Having been through the British public school system, it's a shockingly true representation of today's youth! Vicky Pollard is a juvenile delinquent, a teenage mother, a shoplifter, a bully, a thug …. The list continues. She also swaps her baby for a Westlife CD at some point (that might be season 2) Daffyd Thomas ... Read review

Oh my God I so can't believe you just said that!
Review of Little Britain - Series 1 DVD by gem412

Advantages: It's just soooo funny!
Disadvantages: There are none!

Little Britain is the best thing ever to grace British TV! The characters are pure comedy at it's best, and no matter how many times you watch each episode you will find yourself laughing every time. I do! If you become a true Little Britain fan like I have, then you just won't be able to help yourself from doing impersonations of Daffyd, the only gay in the village, or Vicky Pollard the chavvy teen mum. If you only buy one DVD this year, make it ...
...in Little Britain, and they adapt to each character in a hilarious and clever way, with great costumes - you will love the Bubbles DeVere fat suit! If you want a laugh then this is a must have. In my opinion people who do not find this funny have something wrong with them!!! Some people may be put off by some of the more disgusting scenes such as Harvey breastfeeding from his mother even though he is a grown man, or the old lady who is always sick ... Read review
