COMEDY: LITTLE BRITAIN USA

Now the comedy duo responsible for the show, David Walliams and Matt Lucas, are taking their unique sense of humour Stateside.

However, when aired in the US the spin-off version of the successful British series was mauled by one critic, who said it “was mostly just crude, revelling in mock condescension towards American stereotypes”.

Despite some people not latching on to Lucas and Walliams’ creation, there are still plenty who are delighted at the return of Little Britain and characters including Majorie Dawes of Fat Fighters (Lucas, above), plus some new faces.
