I see it dominated the british comedy awards, how depressing, a program which is about as fun as finding out you have TB, cancer and AIDS and running your own personal sweepstake on which will kill you first.No offence but this programme is moronic. I am not sensitive to this kind of thing, but they get away with a lot, I wouldn't mind if it was actually relatively funny. Hahahahahaha we will try and take the pisss out of disabled people in the least funny way possible whilst spawning the most stupid and annoying catchphrases ever. If you want to make humour of of the situations at least make it vaguely funny, Timargh in south park is pretty amusing and is related to the same subject matter, thats because they try to actually be funny and slapstick rather than constantly see how much they can get away with.

At what point did screaming "i'm the only gay in the village" make for hilarious viewing? pure bull.

the only thing in little britain i ever at anypoint found amusing was the pikey girl. It was related well to real life and was done pretty well and was amusing the first time you saw it, maybe even the second time. But after that its limited comical value was worn out.

I appreciate that the BBC feels obliged to waste as much of the licence fee as it humanly can, and that bigging up little britain in some way seems to justify the existence of BBC 3, but lets be honest it is bullcrap of the highest order.

I am more than happy to watch mindless crap, low budget productions, hardly any subject is taboo with me, I am a pisshead student for godsake! but this has to be the most over rated programme in the history of television, not clever, not witty, and shitte. those awards better not have been voted for, otherwise this country is in a worse state than i thought (and i am an optimist!)

Little Britain is ok. It has its moments. Andy and Lou can be funny,as can the shop thing. The rest of it is mostly rubbish though. Such as the 'bitty' thing and the prime minister sketch. Oh and Vicky Pollard is quite good. 'Tis the same with most sketch shows though. NO comedy is perfect. Apart from the office :-)

Little Britain and Bo' Selecta are both terrible, but with some funny bits.

Most sketch shows are terrible, but have some redeeming sketches that aren't that great.

In fact, I can only think of one good sketch shw, where almost all of the sketches are brilliance, and that's Chewin' The Fat, which you English don't even get.

A dire shame, but even Chewin' The Fat has terrible bits - the last Hogmanay Special was terrible.

Still, SKetch Shows usually = crap.

What? Christ, they're cringeworthy, they have absolutely no comic substance and they're completely overshadowed by the others. You could laugh at them at times but let's face it - would you watch them out of choice?

I'm usually in a position where I have to defend Little Britain but the second series was hit and miss and those sketches were crap.

The bubbles sketches are genius.

Why should vulgar and disgusting sketches be classed as funny or entertaining? Point is, they're not.

Series 2 was disappointing, but it was still a fun way to spend half an hour, disregarding the awful sketches (the two old ladies, "bitty", most of the bubbles ones). The first series was brilliant though.
