Little Britain USA
25 July 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Little Britain became a huge success all over the world, whether it was broadcast in other languages, or remade by other comedians abroad, it is good however that the Americans allowed the original stars to create a spin off for the United States. Basically Matt Lucas and David Walliams bring back some of their most popular characters who are now living in the USA, and obviously they have created some brand new characters who are just are bizarre and in amusingly bad taste. Characters include old favourites Lou and Andy, Vicky Pollard, Daffyd Thomas, Marjorie Dawes, Sebastian Love (now the Prime Minister in love with the President), Bubbles DeVere, Emily Howard, Carol Beer ("Computer says no"), Harvey Pincher ("Bitty"), Linda Flint ("Martin, it's Linda..."), and brand new characters including grandmother Mildred, gym buddies Mark and Tom, little girl Ellie-Grace ("I love you more than..."), the eighth man on the moon Bing Gordyn and many more. Narrated by Tom Baker, and guest stars in the series include Rosie O'Donnell, Geraldine James, Vivica A. Fox, Paul Rudd, Sting, Robert Vaughn and many more. Obviously it is not quite as funny and original as the original series were (the first two being the best, three not as good), but the over the top jokes certainly don't completely disappoint, but the show was apparently a bit of a flop in the States, but it's not bad. It was nominated the Emmy for Outstanding Makeup for a Single Camera Series (Non-prosthetic) and Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup for a Series, Miniseries, Movie or a Special. Good!
