Format:DVD
This is perfect for those of us unfortunate enough to have missed the live tour. Not only is the little tour programme a nice little bonus, but you have to give props to the camera people and editors who have spliced this so well, it's practically seamless. Seriously, it's like watching a television episode.
Most of the skits themselves are rather disgusting, but you have to admire the ambition of the cast and crew in recreating a sketch show on stage (successfully, might I add). Many of Little Britain's characters transfer well in this production, and include Lou & Andy, Vicky Pollard, Sebastian and the PM, Des Kaye (who seems to have turned blatantly homosexual), and the return of Ray McCooney of the Aberdoon Stook Hoose. The grand finale with Daffyd and the entire cast (check out Anthony Head) is especially inspired.
Aside from the replica programme and the show itself, the DVD also comes with many bonus features: subtitles (transcribed phonetically in some cases, very funny), commentary, the making of the tour, the making of the DVD, David Walliams's Big Swim (across the Channel), and extra sketches. If you were lucky enough to attend a performance and think you don't need the DVD, the bonus features should be enough to change your mind.

Little Britain had the cameras at more than one show, so this should be a great dvd of a tremendously clever and well-produced show. The interplay with the crowd made it so much better than the last series, which was (in many people's opinions) not as fresh as the previous two.
All of your favourite characters appear (including a great Des Kaye sketch) and to see it all done live is an absolute treat. My only gripe would be that the actual show could have been longer. Only one appearance of Lou and Andy for example. Nether the less, get ready to sing-a-long with Daffyd at the end...

If you're already a fan of Little Britain, this will be a wonderful addition to your collection. It's not perfect, obviously, as some elements of the comedy as shown on the screen won't work as perfectly as on stage. Still, David Walliams and Matt Lucas are a wonderful pair working together on stage and their chemistry is perfect.
Furthermore, there are really interesting extras, including David's swim across the channel!! I didn't know that it was going to be on the dvd and it was a pleasant surprise.

I saw the show live twice. The funniest show I have ever seen and this DVD does it justice. Great extras too, particularly the Walliams swimming documentary. Awesome stuff. Read more

Great stuff!
I really enjoyed this live version of Little Britain. Sure enough, the sketches are much ruder and the amount of profanity used has indeed increased, but it is very enjoyable to... Read more

nothing to laugh about
This is absolutely dire. Stick to watching the repeats on TV - which you can enjoy over and over again. I managed to watch about 20 minutes of this, until I couldn't bear any more. Read more

Don't like it!
As a fan of Little Britain, I have to say that this isn't Matt and David at their best, and I didn't overly enjoy it as a whole. Read more
