I assume lots of you saw the new series of Little Britain last night....personally thought it was a bit of a letdown - every bit of humour seemed to be at the expense of some minority group and they seemed to be going for the shock humour as opposed to being genuinely funny - definately in my book not as good as previous series. Although did think the Vicky Pollard 'dance off' sketch was good.
Anyone else in agreement or am i thinking too deeply about it?

Little Britain
Have to agree with you TallFunLondon. Wasn't a big fan anyway but they see to be trying to get a reaction through shock tactics as opposed to comedic situations ( is comedic a word :shock: ). Last series it was the vomiting old lady , this series it's a lady that wets herself - not a great progression IMO.
Still , Andy and Lou were good and Daffyfd always makes me laugh. It may improve as the series runs.

but isn't that the whole point of little britain?
thinking about it your right - but before yesterday's the humour had been funny was as lots nights with the odd exception was about being scandalous - which didn't work for me but may have just been in an odd mood as was in fact no different to how it is usually!

I thought most of it was really good..... having followed Little Britain since it was first aired on Radio 4.... I love the characters and the way they are portrayed...
Scary how many Vicky Pollards there are about...... lol
I've got tickets to see them on the 2nd December.... and cannot wait...... lol

Viciously unfunny and increasingly unclever.
It's genius comes in how it portrays society in a way the BBC doesn't usually - it's the BBC's dark conscience... Well, it used to be, but its gone really really mainstream and appeals to the lowest common denominator to attract ratings from simplistic "chavs" everywhere. Lucas and Walliams are good enough not to be caught in a "one trick" show thats just become a money-milker for the BBC.
First series was fantastic, second series showed the warning signs and the third series - going on one episode but as every single episode in a series is basically the same one repeated - has finally bombed to such an extent that it may have ruined its legacy.
Should have done a Fawlty Towers and retired early to be remembered fondly as something that was quirkishly and brilliantly english - which the first series and radio shows undoubtedly where; a breath of fresh air at a time when the BBC was flat on its ass.
My opinion anyway - a strong one as usual! But before anyone says i'm just trying to knock down something successful, i'm not - because i was a fan. But it just doesn't make any sense in watching Andy and Lou do the same thing without variety for 3 bloody years!!!! It's like listening to your favourite album on repeat - it gets very old after a bit!
