jjashford Nothing to laugh at here. The new series seems to have sketches interspersed occasionally with real life situations (as with the traffic warden) that are just cringe worthy. The few jokes are based around ethnicity - even a distinctly unoriginal crack at Welsh accents. Compared with excellent real-life sitcoms like "Never Better" and "Lead Balloon", and even with other below par sketch shows like Peter Serafanowic's (which at least had one sketch that cracked me up), this programme is simply atrocious.The content is questionable as to whether or not it is racist. I don't like to judge here. "Little Britain" is similar to "Little Miss Jocelyn" in that it is a sketch show with dubious or controversial content that I think is made forgivable by the fact that it is actually funny. Perhaps the dearth of stereotypes and bad accents in the latter programme would not be as noticeable if it was even mildly amusing.I would advise anyone to avoid this programme like the plague. The programme is comical, but unfortunately not in the way its creators intended. Even if the acting was palatable and it had some original jokes, the programme concentrates on a small range of stereotypes none of which I have encountered in my daily life. If it must be broadcast, broadcast it on BBC London.

arekkusu_jc this is comedy genius, i love this show and bought the DVD! everyone i show it to thinks it is hilarious! the best sketch is the hair dressers in episode 4 when two laydeez with attitude work in rival hair salons across the road from each other, which always result in the two laydeez having a show down as to who has done the best weave on the customer!!! this show is a breath of fresh air, a must see! also worth a look is the abusive bus driver, speaking her mind to all the poor passengers getting on the bus, there is also mrs kingston whose husband left her for a 'slut!' who claims to have no problems with men, but shouts at them at every opportunity!!!

AKeeb If you have seen 3 Non Blondes, you know what to expect. Around 30 minutes too long, you won't even smile, let alone laugh, and the worse bit is, I pay for this with my licence fee. The canned laughter exacerbates matters, as it constantly reminds you that this is supposed to be comedy. The main problem is the fact that whoever commissioned this was probably a white male. He did not find it funny. However, he thinks that black people will find it funny. This is how BBC3 works. Next week, we'll have an unfunny comedy written by a disabled person...Rubbish - comedy is comedy whoever writes or performs it and this dross should have been cut off at first base.

Big Moira This is definitely another great programme for BBC Three. Funny from beginning to end. The characters are portrayed beautifully. They reflect stereotypes recognisable to all, including surprises to delight the viewer. From the Witch Doctor working on the NHS, to the Professional Woman who thinks that no-one thinks she is black. The biggest character, and the one pushed by BBC Three, is the over-zealous Traffic Warden, who fines people for everything, stating that she works for the 'Quain', and giving out tickets takes a 'lo-o-ong' time.The series may not be to everyones taste, it's definitely designed for BBC Three's audience, and if you can't stand sketch shows in general, don't bother watching it. If you do, however, like to see a well presented and interesting mix of extreme characters, then watch this.Some characters may not be up to the high standard of others, but they still make you laugh, and are passable.9.5/10
