Little Britain!! Jesus, don't get me started. It was always a poor man's Fast Show at best - and there's a good reason they stopped making the Fast Show, great as it was in its day. There's only so much you can do with catchphrase comedy like that. Walliams and Lucas just took the idea, dressed up as women a bit, peppered their sketches liberally with near-the-knuckle 'humour' designed to cause offence as much as mirth, and bludgeoned the nation into submission with the same old tired catchphrases endlessly repeated across two BBC channels. Quite why the country fell for it, I just don't know. History will hopefully remember them as nought but imitators and charlatans. Now get them off my screen, please, and let's have some proper comedy instead of an endless rehash of the same clichéd characters in 'different' sketches.
Whilst I'm on a roll, I loved the 5o0 miles vid (just for the star spotting from my childhood) but for Christs sake Kay there is only much value you can get out of your salt of the earth Bolton Boy Made Good. Get a decent fucking haircut and whilst you're at it a new act. That said loving the re-runs of Phoenix Nights.
Shameless. I'll say. First and Second series were the halcyon days before its decent into mediocrity. They should bow out now and stop flogging a dead horse, but I hear there's another series in production and a fake set built on an industrial park in wythenshawe. The new Corrie?
