The best of current British Comedy
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I first heard of Little Britain on a trip to England. I kept seeing billboards all around for the show. Then, low and behold, while watching TV in our hotel room it started. Finally I knew what the billboards were talking about. I hadn't even figured out that it was a TV show, the boards were a bit cryptic. Well, I haven't laughed so hard since I first saw Python in the early 70's. I caught two episodes on the trip. When I got back I started going into withdrawals from the show and was thrilled to see it on Ebay. I ordered all three available seasons on sight and they are all fantastic. The shows feature a series of skits, somewhat akin to Python, though the comedy is quite different. There are several repeating characters that are repeated on each episode in different situations. All are very creative and funny as heck. One is a young man, described in the show by the hilarious narration as a homosexualist, and that's just what he is. He lives in a small Welsh village and is very proud of being the "only gay in the village", though he has had no gay, or any other sexual experience and invariably will shy away from any that comes his way. Perhaps the funniest thing about this scenario is that the villagers in this village (all of them) are completely fine with his "gayness" and anyone else's, but he is bothered by any other gays that comes along, driving them away as fast as he can, determined that he is the "only gay in the village". It's precious.
Well I won't describe every characters' situation, but they are all very inventive and the acting is superb. You can't go wrong with this show.
