Katie.N64 Considering that this was made long after Little Britain's success, Come fly with me certainly pulls its weight. An airport setting is a nice refresh from a lot of mainstream comedies. Only 6 episodes where ever made, and that's a real shame because I feel they could have done a lot more with the show. On the upside, it genuinely gives the impression of a real documentary-you could show someone the intro and they would think it is actually about a real airline.Some people would find it a bit offensive, but personally I didn't find it at all distasteful. The only complaint I have about this show is that I felt the husband and wife pilots "Jackie and Simon" were a bit over used. But it is very minor. It is a good show and is certainly worth your time if you liked Little Britain.

Annoid I've read many reviews on either side of the fence and quite thrilled that there are comedies that choose a side.I don't see the show as racist just as the American Show "All in the Family" was not, although there were racist people who did think the "Archie Bunker" character made sense.Yes, we all realize that there are people who think like the characters on Come Fly with Me and people like Archie Bunker, but I for one am laughing "at them" not with them. Too over the top to be taken seriously, but with elements in them to make you laugh at how ridiculous they are.I am not from the U.K. and I had no problem laughing out loud.Loved the documentary style, thought it "brilliant". It's not for everyone but worth a shot to see if it's your "cup of tea". Personally I do use the word brilliant sometimes in life and at time to time I do have cups of tea. I'm Canadian and hoping that myself using these phrases to describe a British comedy isn't seen as making horrible stereotypes or being racist.

MartinHafer "Come Fly With Me" is not a show for normal people...it's not. And, if you are normal then I strongly urge you NOT to watch it--it will make you weird or it will strongly offend you. This is pretty much what I would tell people about "Little Britain" as well--both shows starring David Walliams and Matt Lucas.Following their success with the various "Little Britain" shows, I suppose Lucas and Walliams were bored by repeating the same sorts of characters again and again and again (and again). So, they decided to make "Come Fly With Me" and come up with a whole new set of characters they can do again and again and again (and again). Okay...the show IS repetitious. But it's also extremely funny--well written, wonderfully acted and a lot of fun.Before you go out and watch the show, however, be aware that the comedy team's humor is often crude and adult--though "Come Fly With Me" is less graphic and adult than "Little Britain". However, "Come Fly With Me" IS a film that will offend the politically correct--particularly in the USA, as having white guys in black-face, the racist border control agent or impersonating Asians or Muslims is considered wrong and you NEVER are supposed to laugh at this sort of thing...that is, if anyone else is nearby.

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning A parody of reality shows set at airports, in the form of various sketches involving different exaggerated characters working for the FlyLo airline owned by the enigmatic but buffoonish Omar Baabaa, as well as those on the sidelines including two airport check in girls and other people who work at the airport.On paper, for fans of Little Britain, Come Fly With Me couldn't fail. It's the same concept and set up, and even produced by a company named after that show. And it's an inspired idea to send up programmes like Airport that in the 90s were the pioneers for the reality TV craze that dominates British TV these days. It all should work...but somehow this time it doesn't. The potential is all there, golden and shining as it was in LB, but somehow the laughs fail to generate and the result is just something throw away and tragic. Maybe the formula Walliams and Lucas used when LB first came out earned it a place in the national consciousness (and everyone really did go crazy over it at the time) but in a time with shows such as The Inbetweeners, Benidorm and Peep Show about, it just gets seen as the one joke and slightly irritating set up that it is. They are certainly a lazy double act, and this shows most when the cracks that caused the LB ship to sink soon begin to show here, in the shape of repetitive sketches (the angry husband and wife bothering the black check in girl, Precious the coffee shop worker, the burger bar worker) that rely on catch phrases and repeating the same gag every time.Memories of LB's time at the top may well be all that keep Walliams and Lucas's comedic legacy alive, at a time when maybe the British public wanted to sit back and chuckle at something a bit more undemanding and less high brow. Because for sure, this series about flying fails to take off. **
