Default Little Britain to return to BBC
Its been away for 12years


[It comes after the iconic duo
resurrected the show in a special
'Little Brexit' episode for Radio 4 in October 2019.]

It will probably be a lot more watered down these days and I never found it funny first time around

Because they did a one off Radio 4
show, and because of the feedback
they are going back in TV.


Liam - Give it a chance
they have said it can not be like the 2005 series



If its Funny

Meh, not a fan of David Walliams, Matt Lucas is pretty funny though. Can't say im interested in a Little Britain reboot. I think the show is too stupid to be considered offensive though.

I agree. It’s for At is much more universal as well and could be more easily adapted into the 2020 industry.

This has no place back on TV tbh. I am positive it will flop.

I remember Matt saying a few years ago how he'd never get away with Fat Fighters nowadays, and that was one of the more tamer sketches

Fat Fighters is one of the few they probably could still get away with. It worked because Matt himself was fat, that was the joke... it was self-deprecating humour, more than mocking others.

A lot of the other sketches did cross the line between satire and outright mocking, though.
