Just wonderful
This is one of the most original and brillaint comedies ever. First time I heard about it I thought it would be crap, but boy how I was mistaken. Some great characters and superb lines. Superb

No, you dont want more people to see it. Keep the numbers small and it will be a cult classic!
shareif you like this try and find the excellent 'JAM' by chris morris, channel 4 tv series, its like a live action 'monkey dust' only it was made about 4 years earlier, you can get it on DVD, check it out its also awesome
'it's all in the reflexes'
Yes, I enjoyed both of those.
I watched Monkey Dust because Shaun Pye was writing for it and I remember him from appearances on The Treatment. Upon being told that one explorer was forced to "wee in a milk bottle" after being caught short at the North Pole, Shaun considered this for a moment and then said: "That's a hell of a milk round."
Genius."Build my gallows high, baby."

I think that's sensible. If they were targetting a mainstream audience they wouldn't be able to get away with nearly as much as they can get away with at the moment.
Apparently Little Britain is going to be edited for when it goes on BBC 1. I think that's pathetic, to be honest, as I've seen the BBC3 versions and there's nothing in them that I would consider too offensive to put on TV. So either the BBC are stupid or the priorities of mainstream television viewers are.
I love this show its so dark,so funny,so brutal and so very British. Theres stuff you laugh that you can't believe you are laughing at like Timmy's dad. By far one of the most rock n roll shows in years.
when i first watched this after the episode finished i sat there for ages thinking of what the hell i just watched. i thought it was a bit dodgy when i first watched it then after tuning in the second week i got right into it. it's so surreal and dark. i love the way the opening titles start with children in a playground and a man outside a tie shop then when the music kicks in it turns to night time and the children put their hoods up and reveal knives and the bloke who was outisde the tie shop has it wrapped around his arm while he injects drugs into his veins. pure quality.
"Hang on a minute lads....I've got a great idea"
LOL I bought s1 for my stepdad as he's a fan of League of Gentleman and such and I thought he'd really enjoy it, and then realised after I gave it to him that Timmy's Dad is in it, and gulped. He and his kids don't get on very well - felt a bit harsh afterwards!!!
Still though, you've got to larf, haven't you.
