Matthew Richard "Matt" Lucas (born March 5, 1974) is an English comedian, screenwriter and actor. He is perhaps best known for his acclaimed work with David Walliams in the television show Little Britain and spoof interview series Rock Profile, as well as for his portrayal of the surreal scorekeeping baby George Dawes in the Reeves and Mortimer comedy panel game Shooting Stars. In 2009 Lucas played Chancellor Donold David Dongalor, on the BBC/Comedy Central series Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. More recently, Lucas and Walliams have written and starred in another spoof show, Come Fly with Me. In May 2007, he was placed eighth in the list of the UK's 100 most influential gays and lesbians, in fields as diverse as entertainment, business, politics, and science, by British newspapers The Independent and The Daily Mail.
Wondering what today's British are like? What they do? And why? So you can't miss the British comedy series Little Great Britain. It was originally a radio show that aired on BBC Radio 4 in 2001. Two years later, the author and presenter duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams turned it into an equally successful eight-part television series, followed by two more series of six episodes. During a surreal journey through the British Isles, we will witness various situations that are familiar to the British, and we will get acquainted with a number of curious characters and figures. These include Daffyd, the only gay man in the Welsh village, teenager Jason, passionately in love with his grandmother's best friend, or transvestite Emily, eager to do "female things". Thanks to Lucas and Walliams and their sharp look at the eccentricities of the modern world, this comedy series works perfectly for viewers.
