Little Britain Series 3

I thought last night's episode was okay, not as good as the previous three, but I liked the Deathbed sketch very much, the last line cracked me up alot.

The thing between Mr Mann and Roy made me crack up last night. After the week before's "Get out or I will strangle you" remark, this week Roy said after Mr Mann's strange magazine requests: "I hate you so much", and Mr Mann (with a smirk on his face) said: "I know!" LOL

"Margaret, Margaret!"

(Long pause to read a book!)

"Yes?"

I agree. The Mr Mann sketches have definately improved.

My opinion of Little Britain is the same as it was for the Fast Show 10 years ago - you watch one episode and it can be funny. You watch another one, and you realise that it's just the same material recycled every week. As soon as you see a character you know what the outcome of the sketch will be - Dafydd will make some joke about being the only gay in the village, those 2 guys will end up saying "Suits you, sir" etc. etc., - all they change is the situation and that's the easy bit to write!

Flogging an in-joke to death is the sort of thing I do, if I'm going to watch something on the telly I want it to be more original and funny than me!! Ok so I can see it builds up a cult following, people go around saying catchphrases from it in the same way people would turn around to you and say "Jaaaaazz" in the mid 90s, but I'm afraid that's just not enough to keep me amused.

You won't beleive me but I swear on my mothers life, about 2 seconds before it happened I knew 'David Baddiel' would walk out!!!

Is that because the EPG said "guest staring Ruth Madock & David Baddiel"?

I honsetly did not read EPG A, I never read them for a show I 'always' watch like clockwork B, I don't have digital in my bedroom

To say it was predictable was an understatement.

Still, this one was quite good. No vomiting WI ladies or peeing grannies which made for a better programme.

I could see the kiss coming, the David Baddiel cameo, as well as the pram... The Horse threw me though.

I used to like Little Britain because it portrayed a lot of very amusing British attitudes towards life in this country. For example, Marjorie and Meera or Vicky Pollard or the University Woman or the woman who can't do anything because her husband has died and makes a real fuss about everything(series 2). They are the sorts of scetches which make us think, ''yeh I can see that happening in real life.'' However, recently I've found the programme has turned into quite a p*ss-take. I mean, like those asian people with the horse (however much the horse threw me too!) or the woman with incontinence and Ting-Tong. It seems much more directed to hurt certain people.

I dont see it as hurting, I think it makes us notice people's problems more, even if its through comedy. Who would have thought about incontinence before the sketch, or the thai brides that come over here and take desperate lonely old men and fleece them just to get a passport and a new home for their families.
