I want that one! The complete collection of the outrageous comedy sensation created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Little Britain was the injection that the British comedy sketch-show needed. Lucas and Walliams created a host of bizarre characters in a surreal and hilarious tour of the British Isles. This box set includes every episode of Little Britain plus Little Britain Live and Little Britain Abroad! Dafydd, Marjorie Dawes, Emily and Florence, Lou and Andy, Sebastian and the Prime Minister, and, of course, the brilliant narration of Tom Baker, all are included here in the ultimate collection for Little Britain fans!

Welcome to "Little Britain," the British countryside of the United Kingdom. From Britain's cities to the highlands of Scotland, "Little Britain" is home to a numerous group of quirky characters. Among them are: teenage troublemaker Vicky Pollard; caregiver Lou Todd, who doesn't realise that Andy Pipkin, the lazy fat man he looks after who sits in a wheelchair, can actually walk; Sebastian Love, the gay assistant of the Prime Minister; Ray McCooney, eccentric manager of a Scottish hotel; Majorie Dawes, the cruel leader of the "Fat Fighters" who makes fun of fat men and women in her diet class; overweight woman Bubbles De Vere; former Welsh children's TV presenter Des Kaye, who works in a DIY superstore; gay Welshman Daffyd Thomas, who claims he is "the only gay in the village"; and many more. Each week, we travel through Little Britain and visit each character as we are joined by the Narrator, who gives us his comments and helps explain the culture of Little Britain.

Meanwhile, Marjorie Dawes surprises everyone at Fat Fighters by being nice to the longsuffering Meera (although it's got nothing to do with Meera's lottery win, honest!).

Episode 4 - Emily and Florence flounce off to the ballet, while Dr Lawrence takes Anne to the theatre. Marjorie Dawes treats her Fat Fighters to a Scrooge-like Christmas dinner.

Series 3

Episode 1 - At Hill Grange Health Spa, Bubbles De Vere receives a shock when she bumps into her ex-husband, Roman De Vere (Rob Brydon), and his new wife, ex-Olympic gymnast Desiree, who are honeymooning at the Spa. But the two new arrivals are not the only ones providing the surprises. On the Mike McShane estate in Bruise, Dudley receives delivery of his new bride, Ting Tong Macadangdang, loving chosen from his Thai Brides For You brochure. Though her appearance doesn’t match the picture in the brochure, Ting Tong’s oral skills are enough to persuade Dudley to let her stay one more night. Meanwhile, Mrs Emery’s inability to control her bodily functions in the local supermarket results in a nasty wet patch in the frozen foods section, and politician Sir Norman Fry’s ill-advised trip to King’s Cross ends with a rather awkward press conference. Elsewhere, Anne fulfils her dream to appear on Stars In Their Eyes; Florence and Emily tackle the very ladylike problem of facial hair; Dafydd’s new career as a rent boy is proving to be a real hit down the local mine; and Vicky shows off her dancing skills on the estate as she and her gang prove once and for all that they are “well the best dancers”.

Episode 2 - Care home worker Leonard, in particular, is getting very comfortable - some might say a little too comfortable – in Mrs Carpenter’s chair, and Don and Pat pay a visit to their favourite Indian restaurant, although the spicy food has a rather unusual effect on Don’s constitution as he unleashes a torrent of Eighties game show catchphrases. Elsewhere, college secretary Linda Flynn describes a female student as “Magnum PI” – referring to an unfortunate facial hair problem - whilst the student under discussion is within earshot; Dafydd succumbs to anti-gay pressure, renounces his gay lifestyle and finds himself a girlfriend; Sebastian serenades the PM with a moving rendition of Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful in the Commons; the most demanding customer in the world, Mr Mann, seeks a painting of a disappointed horse and Lou gets through to Richard and Judy’s You Play, We Pay. His delight is short-lived as it becomes clear that Andy hasn’t quite grasped the rules of the game.

Episode 3 - A trip to the Hill Grange Health Spa sees Roman getting a little more than he bargained for during a facial, when Bubbles takes his beauty treatment into her own rather ample hands. Down on the Mike McShane estate, it appears that Ting Tong has yet more secrets to divulge, much to Dudley’s horror and exasperation. A weakness for women in green Lycra, however, gives Ting Tong the opportunity to persuade him to let her stay - just one more night. Elsewhere, Sir Norman Fry is giving a press conference regarding an unfortunate misunderstanding in the toilets on Hampstead Heath; Orville is being harassed in his local supermarket about the whereabouts of Keith Harris; and the newest member of Fat Fighters has Marjorie Dawes seeing stars. EastEnder Derek Martin may have been hoping to shed a few pounds in quiet anonymity, but Marjorie has other ideas.

Episode 4 - A new resident arrives at the Mike McShane estate - Ting Tong’s mother. Needless to say, Dudley’s not too happy about the newest addition to the household, particularly when he learns that she’s not planning to leave any time soon. Down on Larchwood Close, Neighbourhood Watch leader Sid Pegg calls an urgent meeting following the arrival of a caravan in the area and, over at the Hill Grange Health Spa, Bubbles learns the reason why Roman left her for Desiree. Meanwhile, at St Denise’s Hospital, Warren’s tearful family sit around his bedside waiting for the old man to take his final breath, but Warren has a few last requests; and Emily and Florence hit the town in order to celebrate Emily’s last night as a single laydee.

Episode 5 - In Little Fumble, Sir Norman Fry has some explaining to do, following an incident with a glacé cherry. Over in Sponge Bob Square Pants, Carol Beer is going through Sun Seekers in-house insurance policies. Vicky Pollard is displaying her woeful childminding skills in her new career as a babysitter. Sid Pegg is up in arms about the defacing of the Larchwood Close street sign. And, in Mr Man’s fancy dress shop, Mr Mann is trying on a post-Mary Whitehouse Experience David Baddiel costume. The likeness is so striking, one could be mistaken for thinking he was the real thing!

Episode 6 - Dafydd has to decide whether to remain the only gay in the village, or leave to join the other gays in London. Florence has to decide whether or not to hang up her crinolines. And Carol’s computer has to decide whether or not to say no to a customer hoping to go on a round-the-world cruise. Elsewhere, Marjorie learns that sorry really is the hardest word; Mrs Emery visits her local GP complaining of knee trouble; and Linda’s students are revolting. If the truth be told, she couldn’t agree more...

Little Britain Live One of the funniest and most popular British programs of this century, Little Britain’s insane antics reached another level of lunacy during their recent sold-out UK tour. The laughs come at a breakneck pace as Matt Lucas and David Walliams bring their truckload of awards and phenomenal sketch show success to the stage at the venerable Blackpool Opera House. Join the adoring crowd—as well as Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) in Australia—for the comedy brigade’s magnificent misfit characters: Lou and Andy, Vicky Pollard, Emily Howard, Bubbles DeVere, Sebastian Love and Dafydd Thomas. See what all the shouting is about as you enjoy the show hailed as “fall-on-the-ground funny” (The San Francisco Chronicle) and “joyously off-kilter” (Entertainment Weekly). Get the DVD because this riotous performance has never aired on TV. Extras include a miniature replica UK tour program, a “making-of ” featurette and commentary from Matt and David.

Little Britain Abroad The eccentric, outrageously funny characters from Little Britain are going abroad for Christmas! Lou and Andy are on their way to Disneyland; Carol “Computer says No” Beer has taken a job as a holiday rep in Spain; Marjorie Dawes visits a Fat Fighters group in the States to learn how they do things across the pond; and Dafydd Thomas is off to a Greek island gay resort, where he finds barmaid Myfanwy has set up her own gay bar. If that wasn’t enough, Vicki Pollard is being held in a Thai jail on drug smuggling charges and must rely on her mum (Dawn French) for help; Ting Tong and Dudley spend their honeymoon on a caravan site inhabited by Dudley’s brother (Peter Kay); and the Little Britain boys have fun with their own take on the “special relationship” between the Prime Minister and the American President. It’s sure to be a holiday no one will ever forget!
