Tonight the men (and women) of Little Britain invade America! David Williams and Matt Lucas have been leaving the brits in stitches for years now with their sketch and live shows Little Britain.
They play a variety of characters, many of them quite queer, such as Lady Emily Howard (the world’s worst 19th century transvestite), Daffyd (the only gay in the village), and Marjorie Dawes (the mean-spirited head of Fat Fighters).
Little Britain USA premiers on HBO tonight with a host of old and new characters, most intriguing seems the relationship between bodybuilders Mark and Tom.
Here are a few clips to get you up to speed…
