Little Britain

[Eddie the Seagull]

I can't wait for the 3rd series which starts at 9pm tonoght

 

[Simon Morgan]

i think its great. very hard to be funny with pretty much the same joke every time, but they manage it

 

[Grendel]

Good on the radio, first tv series was a reasonable adaptation, ran badly out of ideas in the second series. Fully expect third series to be piss poor.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I can't wait for the third series, should be hilarious.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

It was ok

Then I re watched The League of Gentlemen.

Then I realised that most of Liitle Britain is a blatant rip off of this truly original groundbreaking series. Eg Fat Fighters / Jobseekers, The Hypnotist. The only gay in village/local people etc etc

 

[Gazwag]

I find some bits very funny but others boring, some sketches seem to be in it week after week to fill up the time.

It reminds me in some ways of the Young Ones, it was cool to watch it as a teenager and everybody of that age group though it was hilarious every minute of every episode, but some parts were not funny as it had happened time and time again on previous episodes.

 

[DannyBhoy]

cant wait!!

Yea but no but yea but no

the bits i didn't find funny in the second series, was the women who kept pukeing at everything, and the bity sketch got quite unrealistic.

How right you are.

 

[Easy 10]

I'll be tuning in. It can be a bit hit and miss at times though - and some of the jokes ARE wearing very thin now (I'm bored to death with the 'Dennis Waterman' thing). Hopefully they'll have come up with something new.

Listen out for Tom Baker doing the announcing between programmes on BBC1 tonight between 7 and 9 - that could be funnier than the show itself.

They've got rid of Dennis Waterman this series.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

The Hypnotist has gone too.

Which two voted 'f*** off Eddie, you Nige'

forgive me for shooting fish and everything, but was there ever a point at which you found that sketch (or any of the show for that matter) REALISTIC? what a peculiar world you live in.

In their defence they've always mentioned the influences and the two shows have the same director.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Also as Ricky Gervias said. They have crossed the line as well. He said that a dancing Brent Doll could have been released but he vetoed it as being utter tat that no one would want.

Unlike the Little Britain merchandise monster that has been unleashed...

 

[Strike]

The programs class.

 

[magoo]

The kids love it because they have nothing else to compare it against.

But those of us that liked the fast show, league of gentlemen etc can see it shouldn't be as popular as it is.

Agreed.

... Harry Enfields TV programme, The Young Ones, Not the Nine O'clock News, Monty Python, Derek and Clive etc etc...

 

[SussexSpur]

Am no fan. A few characters were mildly amusing first off, but very quickly tedious and massively overrated. And the new ones look even worse - oh-so-wacky and 'controversial' (woman wets herself! MP on Hampstead Heath! David Walliams grinning goofily except in different wigs!) Am pre-judging, sure, and will no doubt amuse many, of course, but anyway...
Am currently enjoying The Thick Of It for current comedy needs and, er, the not-at-all crude and/or puerile Derek and Clive for classic comedy... (which, unlike Little Britain, does, well, give me the fuckin' 'orn... )

 

[Kaney]

EH EH EHHHH!!!!
