Reviews Series / Little Britain

I don't mind the vomit and obscenity, and found Dafydd funny, but I do agree that they tend to run particular scenes and characters into the ground. Really, such ludicrous characters need to appear maybe 2-3 times before being retired, or at least giving us a bit of a break before they recur.

A few times there were actually funny ones that were the Nth in a long series, but most of the characters outlived their funny rather quickly.

I agree with this reviewer wholeheartedly. The best sketches I found, where often the one offs. My two favourites was one the people at a charitable cancer organisation (which was unfortunately deleted from the series), as well as a clever one about Orville the Duck (without Keith Harris).

Sans the whole obscenity and vomit thing, this all oddly enough describes exactly how I feel about Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

100% agreement, except with Dafydd. I have known the only gay in the village and seeing people send him up (particularly gay people themselves) was sweet. However it got old fast. Like progeria fast.

I made the mistake of watching the whole 1st series in a row. A format based around the same catchphrase joke grows old extremely quickly with repetitive viewing.

I have to agree though it's much better than most sketch shows out there.

I don't mind watching it if nothing else is on.

Totally DISAGREE. Little Britain is one of the funniest shows ever, but I also love Keeping Up Appearances, the Mighty Boosh, Darkplace — you see where this is going. Just face it, people, the british are just funnier than americans.

I 1:Enjoy Keeping Up Apperance and The Mighty Boosh. 2:Am British. so, um, I can't see where this is going no.

When there's nothing else on (And this is a very common situation) it's a good programme to watch. But I certainly wouldn't compare it to the likes of Fawlty Towers, or Red Dwarf. Maybe I like it more because I see more satire in it than most people (Honestly, the number of people I know who actually fake disability could fill the Domesday Book), or maybe I'm just of a different disposition to other people. I won't say I disagree with this review, but I will say there are good parts that the reviewer may have missed out on.

My take on Little Britain: it’s like The League Of Gentlemen with all the wit, cleverness and engaging characters removed and replaced with one-note characters spewing forth predictable catch-phrases.

I feel that is a fair description Bananaquit. I also dislike The League Of Gentlemen but at least in that case I can identify why people like it and can see that it is well constructed, just nor my cup of tea whereas Little Britain...
