Finally watched some episodes of it. Good stuff.
Australia has a copy cat show on air at the moment called The Wedge, only it doesn't copy the funny part of LB. |

| I've seen one, unfortunately not two. A great laugh, even the DVD "extras." |

The trouble with Little Britain is that the jokes are often too repetitive. ABout 75% of it is dross, which is a shame because they do come up with some good characters and scenarios.
I like Tom Baker's barking mad narration the best. |

Followed closely by the 'Prime Minister' skits - the rest is a waste of space... Just my £0.02 worth |

| Slight muso-link. The characters "Lou and Andy" are so-called because they were originally based on Lou Reed and Andy Warhol. The episode where Andy jumps out of the wheelchair to bosh the hoodie yobs while Lou feeds the ducks still makes me laugh whenever I see it. |

Catherine Tate is wearing thin now, but i think Little Britain has stood up to 3 series, but i think they should pack it in now, there are only so many characters you can come up with before they all sound samey.
League of gentlemen was the same, great dark comedy, but 3 series is enough.
Lou and Andy is real classic stuff though, brilliant. |

Yeah... 'tis time to call it quits. We can be thankful the Office was smart enough to end on a massive high.
But ah, the Bubbles Devere naked fat suit ... good times. |

| I'll actually watch it one day. I like to be sure of things you see, I got into Nirvana in '94 and I've just got suspension forks for my Mountain Bike... |
