Little Britain: The Complete Scripts and Stuff: Series One (Vol 1) [Hardcover]

Matt Lucas (Author), David Walliams (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 2004

These are the published scripts of the hugely successful series. 'Little Britain' is the TV comedy everyone is talking about, and has made instant stars of its creators, Matt Lucas and David Walliams. The show has a cult following, and the books will have material and photographs produced exclusively for the book. 'Little Britain' has become Britain's best-loved sketch comedy since 'The Fast Show' -- at this year's BAFTAs it won Best Comedy Series or Programme and was nominated for the Best Comedy Performance Award. It has already gone from cult cool to the kind of quotable success that comedy classics are made of. The characters from 'Little Britain' are already household names: Daffyd, the only gay man in his village (and that's the way he wants to keep it); Jason, the teenage boy with an unhealthy attraction to his best friend's granny; Marjorie Dawes as the terrifying FatFighters group leader; Emily Howard, the rubbish transvestite; Bernard Chumley, the ageing theatre actor with a suspicious need to rid himself of his sister; and, of course, Vicky Pollard as the incomparably incoherent young offender. The show has made stars of Matt Lucas -- who appeared as overgrown baby George Dawes on BBC Two quiz 'Shooting Stars' -- and David Walliams, previously seen on the comedy-drama 'Attachments' and spoof show 'Rock Profiles', alongside Lucas. Both stars will help create the Little Britain script book, writing new exclusive material and plenty of unique additional features throughout. We will produce a lavish, colour book -- illustrated throughout -- that will make this book an instant classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Britain - Big Laughs, January 14, 2006

By 

Craggy Islander (Shoreham, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Britain: The Complete Scripts and Stuff: Series One (Vol 1) (Hardcover)

First, I have to admit I am addicted to these guys. If you love quirky British humor and are a fan of the show, you'll truly appreciate this book. Vicky Pollard's rambles are just as funny in print, and this book of scripts provides the translations of her rants. The photos are terrific as are the extras. I cant wait til Season 2 is released on DVD, and sure hope the boys follow that year up with a similar book. To sum up my opinion of this funny volume, I will quote the character, Anne: "EH EH EHHHH!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah but..., February 27, 2006

This review is from: Little Britain: The Complete Scripts and Stuff: Series One (Vol 1) (Hardcover)

No but yeah. There was this book called Little Britain Series 1, or summink or nuffink...

Seriously, if you like the series, you'll like this book. Particularly useful if you're struggling to understand some of the accents on the show, and if you REALLY want to know what Vicky Pollard is saying!

There are some great extras in it too, including excerpts from Emily Howard's diary. This book is a 'must have' for Little Britain fans, and if Rochelle tells you different don't listen to her 'cos she's dirty!

Enjoy!
