Live versions of TV comedies are nearly always disastrous, and this is no exception. Lucas and Walliams have based their inexplicably successful careers on a handful of half-decent ideas ruined by lazy writing. In fact they blatantly rip off League of Gentlemen's live Herr Lipp sketch here involving two audience members in a game of 'find the sausage.' It's a laugh-free pantomime for idiots (many of whom come dressed up as characters, the twats), a tired parade of catchphrases that relies solely on audience recognition to get by. Racist, infantile and soulless, Little Britain is depressingly indicative of the moribund state of 00s comedy. Lucas, a fine comedy performer, deserves so much better. Just another piece of crappy merchandise to add to the cash pile. Minimal extras but a limited special edition issue also out now comes with a replica tour programme.
