Trivia from Little
Britain UK series for fans in
the USA to catch up and
find out more about the genius
that is Little Britain. Test
your friends, and wallow in all
that is Lucas and
Walliams!
*
The second series was
first shown on BBC Three
from 19 October 2004
onwards. When repeated
on BBC One in December,
it had some of the more
graphic references, (the
gay/lesbian sex
references in the Daffyd
sketches for example)
cut out and replaced
with new material. This
was due to a decision
that these references
were unsuitable for a
mainstream audience.
* The characters Lou
and Andy were originally
created for "Rock Profile"
(1999) where they were Lou
Reed & Andy Warhol. The
characters were changed
slightly, but their
relationship, and their
voices, were established in
the earlier show. They new
characters retain the
original first names.
* The
series contains a number of
references to "Doctor Who"
(1963) including a
character called Matthew
Waterhouse (Matthew
Waterhouse played Adric in
"Doctor Who") and another
called Michael Craze
(Michael Craze played Ben
Jackson in "Doctor Who").
Tom Baker, who played The
Doctor from 1974-1981, is
also the announcer.
* The
sketch involving Mr.T was
based on a real life event
involving Matt Lucas in his
local gym. I pity da
fool!
*
Director Cameo: [Graham
Linehan] (director of the
pilot episode) appears in
the first of the two prime
minister sketches, as the
reporter from "Whizzer and
Chips" - The name of a kids
comic popular in the 70's
and 80's.
*
Little Britain had its
debut on BBC Radio 4 in
2001, running for two short
series of five and four
half-hour episodes
respectively. In 2003, it
transferred to television,
with an eight episode run
on the BBC's digital only
channel BBC Three. To
critical and widespread
acclaim.
*
In the week leading up to
Christmas 2004, the DVD set
of the show's first season
was the UK's top selling
DVD across all genres, and
was the first
non-theatrical title to top
the charts in Britain since
Riverdance had done in
1994.
*
Some character's return (or
are
lookalikes
- Yay!!! Matt and Dave are
really secret amateur
lookalike wannabees!) of
characters in Rock Profile.
These include: The "Kelsey
Grammar school" teacher is
also Kula Shaker's teacher.
Eugene (see series 2
deleted scenes) looks a lot
like Art Garfunkel. The "I
was Molly Sugden's
bridesmaid" couple look
like the couple outside the
Prodigy's house Bubbles
looks and sounds like
Shirley Bassey.
* In the
press conference with the
Prime Minister, one of the
reporters gives his name as
"Boyd Hilton". Boyd Hilton
is a real reporter, who
later wrote their biography
"Inside Little Britain". In
which we appear!
*
Patrick Stewart was
considered for the role of
the Prime Minister.
* David
Walliams personally chose
Anthony Head to play the
Prime Minister. Whenever
asked he answers "Because
next to Steve Martin, he's
the only man I'll ever turn
gay for".
* The
tiny Dennis Waterman
character is based on an
actual British television
celebrity also named Dennis
Waterman. Waterman made a
surprise appearance in the
charity presentation Comic
Relief Does Little Britain:
Live (2007) (V),
interrupting Williams and
Lucas performing a version
of their Dennis Waterman
sketch. During his
appearance, Waterman gets
to complain that he does
not have a high voice, is
not "a midget," and does
not sing or write the theme
tune of all his shows. To
apologize, Williams and
Lucas perform one of
Waterman's songs with him.
Although he does do a
significant number of 'feme
choons" of shows he's
in.
* In
2005 the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation
showed repeat episodes as
fillers, condensed to 15
minutes with the title Very
Little Britain.
* In
2004 Stuart and Gavin start
Little Britain Lookalikes
Littler Britain and conquer
the world,
Muwuhahahahah!!!!
