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

[Liam-]

It was awful the first time, why?

[Crimson Dynamo]

i wonder if Walliams will be resurrecting his Blackface Character in this Woke culture?

[arista]

No LT
thats one they could not do now

[arista]

It was awful the first time, why?



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
why not.

[Crimson Dynamo]

They could not get away with this now, i dont know how the show will work as all they did was poke fun at minorities, trans/gay folks?

This.

[Swan]

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.

[Morgan.]

Should hae been Come Fly with Me

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

[Saph]

I loved little britain back in the day :skull:

they wont be able to get away with as much now though.. part of what made it so funny was how un-PC it was

[Jigs]

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

[Zizu]

I always thought the highlights were far overshadowed by the rubbish

They are Fully aware
of how its all changed.


They are Writing with the time we are in,
in mind.

No
Airways in to many problems.



Little Britain has a broader
amount of Sketches , possible.

[Saph]

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 :skull:

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.

[Black Dagger]

Anything to get Matt Lucas airtime. He's an underrated genius of our times.

But even the old series aged terribly. And in 2020 we are likely to just get the disgusting Walliams gags and not the good characters.

[Jessica.]

I don't think it's needed, they should do something else instead of bringing the old show back.

No as we will be after Brexit
so Little Britain
who did so well on October last year,
on a Radio 4 Special.
Can update the show.

You are Wrong Jess

I agree with this, I like Walliams, but it’s no coincidence that most of the most memorable characters from little Britain were Matt, plus I've enjoyed most of what he has done since they split, yet most of Walliams actual tv stuff minus the book adaptations has been pretty crap tbh

[LaLaLand]

Exactly, sadly.

[Twosugars]

No

There's a good chance you are wrong. They don't like bigotry so angry gammon may well feature :dance:

calling people angry gammon is a bigoted view

you literary could not make it up

Yeah Matts Characters in little britain were the most menorable...vicky Pollard. Only gay in the village etc. I had the ps2 game of little britain it was really random!

But i dont find david walliams funny at all. Did anyone else see that cinderella programme he did at christmas. I switched off half way through it was horrendous

[Marsh.]

I agree. David is a good actor, but you do notice how much of his characters he played pretty similarly. Matt tended to completely disappear into his characters much more easily.

David had his own voice, the posh voice and the raised "lady" voice.

:cheer2: gammon :cheer2:

[Rob!]

I never found this show funny. Once you've seen all the characters once, it's just wash and repeat in a slightly different location.

David was a crap actor :skull: but that kinda became his signature thing I think
