Radio rather than television

October 31st - Radio 4 - 6.30pm - 'Little Brexit'

Little Britain returns for Brexit special | BBC News

"The BBC comedy show Little Britain is to return for a one-off Radio 4 special, called Little Brexit.

Matt Lucas and David Walliams will reunite to bring the popular show back to the radio station where it began life in 2000.

Returning characters will include Lou and Andy, Dafydd "the only gay in the village" and Vicky Pollard.

The Brexit-themed episode will air on 31 October - the date the Prime Minister wanted the UK to leave the EU.

That date is now set to be delayed until 31 January 2020 after the EU agreed to the UK's extension request.

Little Britain moved from radio to TV in 2003, running for three series, and went on to win back-to-back Bafta awards for best comedy programme.

"Matt Lucas and David Walliams are uniquely talented writers and performers as well as one of the UK's most loved comedy duos," said Radio 4 comedy commissioning editor Sioned Wiliam.

"It's a privilege to have them back on Radio 4, where Little Britain first began almost 20 years ago."

Joining Lucas and Walliams for the politically-charged comeback special will be original cast members, Ruth Jones and Anthony Head, as well as narrator Tom Baker.

Other characters confirmed to appear include Emily Howard, Marjorie Dawes and Mr Mann."


As far as I am concerned, 'Little Britain' was amusing for the first episode, had outstayed it's welcome by the second, and by the third had turned into something that was offensive for the sake of being offensive
