At the local health spa, Bubbles offers to pay her huge bills in an inappropriate manner.

“The second series of Little Britain is just as good and just as funny as the first.” -Guardian

“Glorious … Any doubt as to whether Matt Lucas and David Walliams could sustain the high standards set in the first run of their bizarre broken comedy show should be dispelled by this first helping… there is so much to enjoy and be appalled at here.” -Financial Times

“Every so often, a comedy series comes along against which all others are judged. A few years ago it was The Fast Show, then it was The Office. Now it must be Little Britain … the second series is even better than the first.” -Sunday Times

“Little Britain is a national treasure." -The Times

“Right now, no one's funnier on TV than the stars of Little Britain.” -Daily Mail

“The world has gone Little Britain bonkers. Behind every door is somebody doing a Little Britain impression. It feels as if you have to be able to ‘do’Lou and Andy and Vicky Pollard to be socially acceptable; to show you have a sense of humour; to show you are up to speed in contemporary po-mo, post-PC Britain.” -Guardian

"Greatness returns … Brilliant stuff." -Scotsman

"Glorious … there is so much to enjoy and be appalled at here." -Financial Times

"It would be fashionable to describe Little Britain as the new Office, a genuinely original, outré comedy, based on an unpromising premise, crafted by relative unknowns, and raised to cult status almost entirely by word of mouth … Yet the scope of Lucas and Walliams's programme is actually greater, and its success, if anything, even more remarkable. While The Office was the provincial workscape in microcosm, Little Britain brings you the whole country – horrible in aspect and scarily close to reality." -Sunday Telegraph

“It's the funniest thing on telly. We hope Matt Lucas and David Walliams don't make us wait too long for the next series.” -Daily Mirror

“Matt Lucas and David Walliams's phenomenally politically incorrect and … hysterically funny comedy sketch show.” -London Evening Standard

“The true measure of the grip Vicky Pollard, Emily Howard, Dafydd and the rest have on our imagination is that wherever you go, you're now in danger of hearing some wazzock parroting one of their catchphrases.” -Express

"The acting, make-up and costumes are superb." -Sunday Express

"One of the funniest shows on TV." -Daily Mail

“It's must-watch telly.” -Daily Star

“Very clever and subtly subversive … Matt Lucas and David Walliams are two of the most innovative comedians around." -Daily Mirror
