Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

British comedy is often known for its menagerie of absurdities. Little Britain - The Complete Third Series upholds this tradition with the comedy genius of Matt Lucas and David Walliams, as they take it to up another notch in the third seasom. Little Britain has cultivated a devotion to the characters, listen carefully and you may hear the person next to you quoting "Yeah, but no, but yeah but…". Lucas and Walliams reveal them to us bit by bit, so we remain perplexed enough to imagine where they came from and what will eventually happen to them. We are dropped into the middle of their lives, and are lucky enough to observe them sorting things out. The episodes on this two-disc set are filled with returning favorites we get to know even better (whether we want to or not), as well as introducing new "Britons". We witness the insensitive and abusive Marjorie Daws, leader of Fatfighters weight loss support group, encouraging the group members to snack on "dust" because it has no calories. A returning favorite is Daffyd, the rotund, spandex-wearing, self proclaimed "only gay in the village", though life, his family, and the "homophobic" village repeatedly show him otherwise. New characters not to be missed include a lovely woman unable to control her bodily functions, a questionable mail order bride, and a rival for the spa resident Bubbles. Of course the sassiest narrator on television returns, spouting articulately, "Who They? What do? And why?" His banter is just another reason why visiting with the people of Little Britain is hilariously unforgettable. --Rachel Moss

4.0 out of 5 stars Little Britain-- Series 3 November 19, 2006

By Carrie Margulies

Format:DVD

Let me preface my review by saying that I'm a die-hard fan of "Little Britain." However, I will be as unbiased as possible in my review of this DVD.

I have to admit that I do agree with people's criticism that Season 3 of "LB" was not as funny as the previous 2. I didn't find the new characters they added terribly amusing, and sketches with the old favorites do tend to get a little repetitive. I've seen the episodes on BBC America, but I'm looking forward to hearing the episode commentary and deleted scenes. Having said that, I still think that there's enough laughs, giggles, and smiles in each episode to warrant purchasing this DVD. I'd kind of only recommend it for fans and purists... but please know that Matt Lucas and David Walliams' lesser work is still a million times funnier than a lot of drivel that we get here in the US.

Also, as for extras, that's a real enticement to get this DVD. UK fans were disappointed because they were all previously seen television clips. But they're treats and rarities for us US fans. Matt and David never disappoint when they appear on talk shows and such, so that's guaranteed laughs for you too! All in all, if you're a fan and you're considering getting this for yourself or a friend... I'd say "Computer says yes." :)

4.0 out of 5 stars British sketch comedy today ! ! ! August 16, 2008

By Eddie Landsberg VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

Acerbically narrated by the ultra eccentric Tom "4th Dr. Who - - guy with the scarf" Baker, Little Britain combines elements of classic British sketch humor with a contemporary twist...
Like many of its predecessors, it can be delightfully rude and edgy at times...
unlike other predecessors, the show does not hold back...
typical scenes include a women with an increasingly extreme bladder problem and just goes everywhere...
at least 5 gay/transvestite theme recurrent sketches (a closet gay prime minister, a politician who continually has to continually appear with his family and apologize and explain varying situations including "falling and accidentally landing inside someone" - - in another routine, the lead actors (guys of course) dressing up in grotesquely obese fat lady body suits (one is in black face) - - There is one other "fat" sketch... a Thai mail order bride (who turns out to be a lady boy) - - oh, and even gypsies and handicap are fair game...
Despite the series unabashed use of shock humor, the fact is however, that the show is well written and acted... even so to the extent that even the most obnoxious stuff is forgivable...

All in all, any show with a line like:
"My own mother rejects me simply for the crime of wanting men's torches in my bum bum..."
is a winner to me!

All this said, I like the show... but feel a downside is that a lot of the jokes are so recurrent you can see them coming from a mile away.... nonetheless, its hard not to watch... watch... and keep watching...

Though considered a "classic" by many, reviews of the show were initially mixed... like LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN and KIDS IN THE HALL (from Canada) consider this a love it or hate it thing...If you like it, you'll probably be quoting the catch phrases for ages to come...
