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.
