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.
This collection of scripts captures the chaotic and absurd interactions of a cast of eccentric characters navigating the peculiarities of British life. The narrative framework relies on a series of disconnected sketches that highlight the social anxieties and bizarre obsessions of the show's recurring figures. Each character, from the self-proclaimed 'only gay in the village' to the incoherent Vicky Pollard, operates within a rigid, repetitive logic that drives the comedic conflict. The text serves as a written record of the television series, preserving the dialogue and stage directions that define the show's specific brand of observational satire.
This work is widely regarded as a significant artifact of early 2000s British television comedy, reflecting the show's transition from a cult phenomenon to a mainstream success. The scripts are noted for their ability to translate the visual and performance-based humor of the television series into a readable, print-based format. Readers often highlight the inclusion of exclusive material and behind-the-scenes insights as a primary draw for fans of the original broadcast. The collection serves as a testament to the cultural impact of the characters, whose catchphrases and mannerisms became deeply embedded in the public consciousness during the show's peak popularity.
