A waste of thirty minutes of my life. Why did BBC 1 feel the need to show a programme that is a carbon copy of the British version? It's like watching your childhood favourites in adulthood and wondering why you bothered.

I haven't seen it yet, but it's being highly promoted on HBO. A lot of people are complaining about it over here. In my opinion, it's just too crude.

It wasn't crude (but then they've cut it down to half an hour here). It's just unfunny humour.

Why did they feel the need to add all the laughter into the background aswell? Thats just annoying!!

I've read that it was actually recorded live and directed by one of the Friends' cast. Someone on Digital Spy was in the audience.

Yeah, it was directed by David Schwimmer (Ross).

I also found the laughter track annoying- it kind of destroyed some of the cringe-humour that Little Britain is all about for me.

I think some of the characters have been flogged too far. The whole Little Britain concept is wearing thin. It would be better if they took the Office/Fawlty Towers approach and just cancelled it to stop the series deteriorating in quality.

I hate myself for agreeing with you, but I feel the same. I actually enjoyed all 3 series, but when I started watching the other dvds, such as Little Britain Abroad and Little Britain Live, I felt as though I could repeat the lines in my sleep. I think both Walliams and Lucas are very talented, and I will still continue to watch the series. But, I think some characters like Marjorie Dawes, which used to be my favorite, have run their course. The only change for her is that she can't understand the Mexican woman rather than an Indian woman, and her poor audience have different accents. I want to see where they go from here.
