***** Bookseller
'The photos and artwork are terrific. It will make a great Christmas present for Little Britain fans of all ages.’
Bolton Evening News.
‘Sketches translate surprisingly well to book format, and there is much amusement in reliving moments such as Daffyd's doomed attempt to leave Llandewi Breffi for London, or Emily and Florence's hen-night.’
Western Daily Press.
Product Description
This is the complete first series from "BBC Radio 4", plus the pilot episode and over twenty-five minutes of never-heard-before sketches and outtaks. 'Comedy ecstasy...' - "Heat" magazine. "The Little Britain" radio series won a Sony Award when it first appeared on radio, and has since gone on to become a comedy phenomenon. Now, available for the first time, are the original pilot and all four episodes of the original radio series - complete and uncut. Matt Lucas and David Walliams' comedy creations are already household names and need no introduction: Daffyd, the only gay in his village, Emily 'I'm a lady'! Howard, incoherent young offender Vicky Pollard, Kenny 'Look into my eyes' Craig, and Marjorie Dawes from FatFighters. Not forgetting Denver Mills, Dennis Waterman, and children's entertainer Des Kaye. Complementing Tom Baker's brilliantly bizarre narration, and David Arnold's original music, are many characters that have only ever appeared on radio: Cockney Film Star, taxi driver Jackie Paper, Joey the Stool, and two of the worst ghosts you'll ever know. With a wealth of bonus material that includes sketches and hilarious outtakes never transmitted on radio, welcome to the wonderful and surreal world of Little Britain.

Format:Audio CD
I and many others were at a complete loss as to why the BBC released an edited "best of" version of this series on CD last year, particularly as the whole series was so funny it deserved a full release. A BBC spokesperson said:
"Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, so shaddap! Anyway Meredith came over and started stirrin' it all up calling me all these fings about this fing wot I don't not even never know nuffinck about, so shaddap!"
Now here's your chance to own the series complete (Radio series 2 is out in October). We've waited for far too long for this release, but it's here at last. Enjoy!

Format:Hardcover
If you're a fan of Little Britain then this book is definately for you. Over two hundred pages packed full of scripts from all eight episodes of the first series and the pilot episode. Extras including letters to the local paper from Daffyd, Marjorie Dawes' shopping list, Sebastian's visual fantasies about him and the Prime Minister and Vicky Pollard's exam paper. Now, if that's not enough, there is even some exclusive pictures taken especially for the book. The DVD is of course released within the next two weeks and this would accompany it excellently!

Another fantastic book! Some may see this as a waste of money if you have the DVD but WOW! the little insiders and the subtleties of information make set this aside from the previous two. The third series is also amazing and this is also a brilliant read! Recommended to everyone!

A decent companion to the DVD
Books of scripts are an acquired taste - ever since The Goon Show, it's been common practice for popular tv and radio shows to make the text available, but some have done so in... Read more
