"Stu, how about a trip to Portsmouth?" Gav was excited and I knew that he had had a "Brilliant" idea.
"OK? Why?" It's the last night of the Little Britain Tour in Portsmouth and we can try to meet Matt and David" The decision was made, it seemed like a good idea and we would get a chance to see the chaps close too.

The journey to the Guildhall was uneventful and swift, thanks to our trusty Tom Tom, the dulcet tones of the lovely lady melting away the road rage. Here's a thought, wouldn't it be great if Tom Tom did the Little Britain characters?
"Yeah, but, no, but, yeah, but, no, err, we'll Marsha says to go right but she's suchhhh a cow..."
or
"You're the only Gay in this village". Something to think about guys, another market for you to expand into...

So, anyway, we get to Portsmouth, park up and go and find the Guildhall. The venue is located on one side of a pedestrianised market square type arrangement with Portsmouth Uni Lining two of the other three sides. It is a large building with a clock tower and a set of imposing steps up to a door, the type of imposing frontage you see on American court room dramas with lots of press hanging about ready to interview the witness or acquited billionaire, you get the picture.

We go in through a small door at the bottom of the steps and take a brief look at the merchandise, there is a plethora, a veritable pantheon of goodies, mugs, mousemats, t-shirts, souvenir programmes, hoodies, emblazoned with all your favourite catchphrases, and a brisk trade was being done, way to clean up chaps!

Gav bought a programme and we took our leave and went around the building to scout out the best place to spot the chaps as they left. The stage door was easy to find and after scoping it out we decided to retreat to a nearby cafe to plan our next move.

So from professional lookalikes to professional stalkers in a matter of moments - we know where you are for the next 7 months (cue manic laughter, Meu-hahahahah).

Food, Glorious Food
We found a lovely little spot to eat, not far from the Guildhall called La Croissanterie which did a stunning line in Baguettes, Paninis and a pretty damn fine cup o' coffee. So if you are passing, pop in and tell 'em we sent you. (cheers guys).

We finish our vittals and prepare for the impending face to face. We have bought some flyers with us, hopefully we can hand a few out to some of the audience as they exit, hey, they are our target audience and someone may just book us.

Eventually the doors swing open and as the audience disperses we hand out the flyers, which are well received as "Programme Bookmarks"! After a quick trip back to the car park and a few more leaflets are handed out we nip back to the stage door. Or as near as we can get because there is now a scrum of about 50 avid fans are being held back by a crowd control barrier and four well toned bouncers.

The Lesser Spotted Walliams
We then get our first sighting of David as he strides purposefuly towards the assembled throng, who go nuts, it's every man, woman and child for themselves. Actually the pushing and shoving had a very restrained "Britishness" about it and people were trying to remain polite even as they crushed up against others, not making eye contact for fear of having to make way and let another person go in front of them. We stood at the back trying to catch glimpses of our man and I suddenly knew how David Attenborough must have felt, the journey, the hunt, the wait, spotting the prey, snatched glimpses, hehehe. Anyway I was chatting to about this, turned back to the scene for about 10 nanoseconds, went to make another comment to Gav and he had disappeared. As I looked back at David I suddenly spotted , shaking David's hand and chatting to him. He had performed some kind of Ninja crowd swerve and had gotten himself to the front. Respect Gav, he moves quickly for a fat chap.

Eventually Gav extracated himself and we retreated, he was a bit shell shocked but was well happy that he had managed to shake David by the hand, and glad that David hadn't shaken him by the throat. David had asked Gav if we were going to do London shows, there wasn't much chance to chat about anything else due to the pressure of the occasion but that's fine. David met Gav.

Round Two - The Revelation
Gav took a respite and had a fag to calm himself. Which was when we saw the changing of the Guard, David vanished to be replaced bt Matt, Gav was up for round two... With the speed of Lindford Christie and the tactics of a seasoned commuter Gav swept to the front of the rabble, which had gotten a bit more raucaus as it had been joined by some students on a pub crawl dressed in dressing gowns. Still, undetered Gav met Matt. Shook him by the hand, and had a brief chat.

Gav "Hi there, Matt"
Matt "It's isn't it?... I have a picture of you on my notice board... I think you guys are great."
Gav "Wow, thanks. David has asked us to do the London gigs"
Matt "(laughs) Are you going to do our mums too?"

There was some more banter which I couldn't quite hear, but it was just chit chat and Gav can't remember as he was just living in the moment. I didn't push forwards, being the shy retiring type and not wanting to intimidate the lads with both of us right up in their faces.

So that was when (one half of) Littler Britain met Little Britain, and we found out Matt has Gav's pic on his notice board (Kenny Craig if you must know). So as a tribute to Matt and for those who might not be able to quite picture it here is our artists impression of what it might look like (if it had been put on his fridge).

If you're reading this guys, then thanks for being so gracious, we hope to see you again tonight (Thursday 26th October) in Bournemouth.
