Little Britain........
 

Little Britain....fact or fiction? An hilarious parody of today's society, or a cruel parody of social stereo-types?

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Not a personal favourite of mine but I have to admit I have found some of it hilarious. I think we’re still in the realms of the cruel parody of social stereo-types. I don’t recall actually seeing any of the characters in real life other than the girl; you see them trawling around the school gates, puffing away with their legs akimbo everywhere I suppose. It’s a sad fact that Blackpool’s the worse place for underage pregnancy and single mothers. I think up here it’s more to do with opportunity and a sense of security in benefits rather than a lack of education. I hate nothing more than to see a young good looking lass not much more than 15 or 16 pushing a pram around, more so when you start to see those looks deteriorate with the stress and hardships that follow. Such a waist to my mind, how many of those girls could have made something of there lives.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Yeah, but no, yeah Vicky Pollard is quite the most reportedly seen character. It is something we all have to do though- make decisions @ that age which'll affect the rest of your life. Of course, wanting to join the police you can always change, having a baby you can't so easily. Though Vicky would probably swap her's for a Peter Andre calender.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Yeah I suppose your right their, As for swapping it for a Peter Andre calender, nooooo not even Vicky could be that hard up..... :rolleyes:

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Yeah but no, yeah she'd be daft enough to swap her baby for last years Peter Andre calender. The baby was called Paris, after Paris Hilton, who Vicky used to hang with in L.A., on a young offenders exchange system.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Can someone or can l correct the spelling of Britain in the title thread? I am the ONLY bad speller in the village!

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

That's even more appropriate than you may have thought when you typed it because we're all as bad! We pleaded for a spell check but then I for one hardly ever remember to use it and yet my fingers often run away with themselves and I end up hitting keys I never intended or the right letters appear but not where they should be. Rather like Eric Morecambe's answer to Andre Previn when the latter said "You are playing all the wrong notes!" and Eric replied "Oh no I'm, not. I'm playing the RIGHT notes but not necessarily in the right order!"

However, back to the subject. I can't say I particularly like the program and some of it does come over as tasteless but I think it is more poking fun at the fact that we tend to stereotype people rather than at the people themselves. It's a bit like Alf Garnet using all those non-PC terms. The joke isn't on the people he is calling c**n and n****r the joke is on people like him who use those words and showing how stupid and bigotted people can be.

True Warren Mitchell's politics were far from those of the character he plays. l bet Matt Lucas is sound too, DAFFYD, OOPS David Walliams, seems a more complex person, l mean Abby Titmus?

I'M having a Fat Fighters round @ garindas, Thurs. 7.30! lt's so patronizing, when she never understands a word, Mary the well spoked Asian lady says -& very funny.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Now I'm lost garinda? :confused: Are you offering too fight fat people (please don’t be offended if your larger than average) for sport or are we expected to come and expose our fattiness in the hope that we can regain what we believe to be our former selves, I’m a little over weight and could do with some encouragement. “I’m on a looser here I know I am, I’m sure I am”.
Who's Mary?

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Mary's a Fat Fighter in Little Britain. lt's basically a dig @ Weight Watchers, which has more active atendees than the Church of England.
On Thurs. l'll basically lecteur you because your all obese, whilst eating a pie. You pay me and leave- easy.
