Little Britain

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Little Britain

English television comedy sketch series. First broadcast on BBC Three in 2003, it was created by and stars Matt Lucas (1974– ) and David Walliams (1971– ) and highlights the unique, strange, and quirky aspects of British culture, people, and places.

Comic actor Tom Baker (1943– ) narrates the programme, which features Lucas and Walliams, supported by a number of guest stars, playing a variety of eccentric twists on modern stereotypes. Daffyd, for example, is the only gay man in his village, and wants to keep it that way. Marjorie Dawes is an aggressive FatFighters group leader, Vicky Pollard is an unintelligible juvenile delinquent, Emily Howard is a useless transvestite, and Sebastian Love is an effete government aide with a crush on the prime minister. The show is based on a BBC Radio 4 series (2001–02) and is shot in front of a studio audience and on location. It was first broadcast on the opening night of BBC Three.

Lucas and Walliams performed Little Britain sketches live on stage in a popular 2005 tour.
