    Talking Little Britain last night

    Made me laugh anyhow.
    Especially the ould dear emptying her tank in the supermarket while talking as if nothing was wrong.

    I usually only find a few of the sketches funny on Little Britain - the characters get repetitive after a while.
    I watched Only Fools and Horses on UK Gold instead - much funnier in my opinion.

    Ironic that you talk about repetitive when you're watching Only Fools and Horses though

    It wasn't bad but I think some of the sketches are getting old and repetitive, still not a bad way to waste half an hour

    Best Little Britain sketch was in the C4 Top 100, the one where Lou takes Andy to the swimming baths, and while Lou's explaining to the attendant how they're going to get Andy into and out of the water, Andy's rocketed out of the wheelchair, launched himself into the pool from the top diving board, and rocketed back to the wheelchair just as Lou and yerman turn around. I was in knots the first time I saw that.

    Seeing Matt Lucas dressed up in the latex gear comes a close second though. Fair dues to him for having the balls to do it.

    It's pretty bad at the best of times. You can see the jokes a mile off, like huge train of poor comic inevitability. Each to their own i guess.

    I really hope it picks up, as I loved the first series. I just fear that the old characters will start to get a bit repetitive, and the new ones don't offer much. Dressing up as a woman doesn't necessarily make the character funnier.

    adam, agreed re. the Lou'n'Andy sketch.
    And Only Fools And Horses is funny.
    Ceci n'est pas une signature

    Does anyone think that Little Britain is the same gags over and over ??
    It was funny the first few times, just the overkill is just too much now. They need new material.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    That's exactly what I think.

    Some of the sketches aren't funny either. The "I'm a lady" one and Sebastian - not funny.
    But some are very funny.
