Come Fly with Me - Series 1 [DVD]

Product Information

Less cruel than Little Britain, like many character based comedies, such as The Fast Show, this just gets funnier and funnier. David Walliams and Matt Lucas are top notch comedy actors, in some ways much too good for such light entertainment as this. Thank goodness they've dropped the catch phrases! I think this series with David and Matt is by far the best stuff they have done. You can relate to the characters they portray whether it’s Ian or Raj. It’s a shame that it was seen to be racist by some people, and uk copies are no longer available, so Spanish copies are mow available thank goodness, with English speaking options.

(Appears in: Episode 4) Director Shawn Levy Claims Taylor Swift "Has The Makings Of A Hell Of A Director": "A Generational Voice And Creative Force" Little Britain famously made fun of the disadvantaged and peripheral elements of the UK population: the people that everybody prefers not to see. At the same time it celebrated the English eccentricity in a weird way. We saw the disabled, the flaming queers, the transsexuals, the illegal immigrants, the chavs & council estate skivers as players in the national drama, even if only satirically. That was a first for British telly. The catch, and what made their style of satire acceptable, was that many of these people were not actually what they seemed: Ting Tong was actually a man from Tooting, Andy was actually able bodied, Dafydd was actually a repressed queer-hater, etc., etc. I like how the various characters from different sketches actually meet each other. Though it is admittedly somewhat self indulgent to see these two in every role.Tommy Reid (Lucas) – A young, obtuse Scottish man working at Happy Burger, one of the airport's fast-food eateries. He hopes to work his way up to becoming a pilot, unaware that the two jobs are completely unrelated.
