Little Britain

Post by Caravan Ray »

What's the consensus on this?

When I first saw it I thought it was awful - oh,no more crap from England like The Bill and Keeping Up Appearences

But though constant barrarges of it I'm actually starting to find it funny despite myself. Those 2 bloke dressed up as 'ladies' crack me up. And the gay bloke is funny (gay blokes are always funny - like John Inman in 'Are You Being Served')

Could somebody please tell me it's cool to think it's funny - because I'm starting to worry about myself

I like it, too, mostly. Some of the sketches don't do much for me, but on the whole it's pretty good.

I'm not funny ...

For the record, I think it is six or seven hilarious concepts that do not evolve enough, so it's law of diminishing returns for me. See one, it's piss-funny, watch two or three, and it's kind of like 'you did that already. Only in a different location.' As you can tell I am not a big subscriber to the 'Teapot' comedy theory ...

Yes, normally I'd agree with you - but that's what disturbs me about this show. It seems the more I see 2 big blokes with moustaches dressed up as ladies - the funnier I find it. It makes no sense

Tom Bakers voice overs though are very good

Dying a death?

Now they are on the 3rd series AND have moved to BBC 1 at prime time rather than BBC 3 in the wee small hours.

Unfortunately I'm finding that the comedy is getting rather stale and way too repetitive. The freshness has gone and this is sad. :(
