The lowdown: 'Little Britain is a sketch comedy series starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, with Tom Baker as the
unseen narrator whose often surreal comments are used to link the sketches. Three seasons and a number of specials 
have been made to date and broadcast on BBC3. Each episode typically features a range of regular characters, all played
by Lucas and Walliams. They include the Welsh homosexual Daffyd, whose catchphrase is "I'm the only gay in the village";
teenage chav Vicky Pollard; and Emily Howard and Florence, two transvestitutes whose favourite line is "I'm a lady!"

Colin Baker featured in one of the deleted scenes from the third season, which is included on the season DVD. In this 
sketch, Emily and Florence attend the Henley Regatta, where they meet two elderly gentlemen who seem to be oblivious
to the fact that these "ladies" are in fact men. Needless to say the punchline is tyical of the Little Britain team - tasteless
but very funny. 'Little Britain' is an acquired taste and probably not to some people's liking. However, it is an entertaining
comedy series that at times is extremely funny - and of course listening to Tom Baker is a definite plus!
