Little Britain
Series charting the history of the best of British comedy looks at Little Britain. The bright and bizarre comedy sketch show burst out of radio and onto television screens in February 2003, making international stars of its writers and performers Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
Little Britain was a candy-coloured confection of some of the most twisted, absurd, malevolent, yet somehow adorable comedy characters ever created. It became a worldwide phenomenon which defined the country at the start of the 21st century - whether the country liked it or not. But what did Little Britain tell us about life in this sceptic isle?
The programme reveals how several friends in high places helped bring Little Britain to television and how discussions of Martin Parr's social realist photographs played their part in setting the visual style of the series.
