| Little Britain is based on the highly
successful BBC Radio-4 series. In Little Britain Matt Lucas and David Walliams take
viewers on a unique tour of the UK - the rolling hills of England, the Scottish highlands
and green valleys of Wales. Little Britain explores all that is mad, bad, quirky, and
eccentric about the people and places of Britain. Modern
Britain is all here - Daffd is the only gay man in his village, and that's the way he
wants to keep it. Marjorie Dawes is a frightening FatFighters group leader while Emily
Howard is a totally unconvincing transvestite. The series also features Bernard Chumley,
the aging theatre actor with a suspicious need to rid himself of his sister, Kitty.
There's romance novelist Dame Sally, who has no idea how to write romantic novels and Des
Kaye, a former children's TV star and now a disgruntled employee in that most British of
British institutions - the DIY shop.
Anthony is a special guest in the series, playing the Prime
Minister, Michael. His character is oblivious to the feelings his aide, Sebastian, has for
him, leading to some hilarious comedic situations.
When interviewed about Little Britain Anthony said, "To
come back (from the USA) and be approached about Little Britain, was great. I wasn't sure
about it at first, but I met David and Matt, we started rehearsals, and it was fun. I was
laughing until I wept in some sketches. The success of it is astonishing."
Little Britain is shot on location and in front of a studio
audience. |
