Synopsis
Live performance of the popular sketch comedy show at Blackpool. Matt Lucas and David Walliams extended their popularity by recreating the show live on stage and touring the nation with it in 2005/06. Featuring a host of surprise guest stars alongside show regulars like Daffyd, the only gay in the village, Ray McCooney the creepy Scottish hotelier and the intractable Vicky Pollard.

Customer Reviews

Eh, eh, ehhh!
This is perfect for those of us unfortunate enough to have missed the live tour. Not only is the little tour programme a nice little bonus, but you have to give props to the camera people and editors who have spliced this so well, it's practically seamless. Seriously, it's like watching a television episode.

Most of the skits themselves are rather disgusting, but you have to admire the ambition of the cast and crew in recreating a sketch show on stage (successfully, might I add). Many of Little Britain's characters transfer well in this production, and include Lou & Andy, Vicky Pollard, Sebastian and the PM, Des Kaye (who seems to have turned blatantly homosexual), and the return of Ray McCooney of the Aberdoon Stook Hoose. The grand finale with Daffyd and the entire cast (check out Anthony Head) is especially inspired.

Aside from the replica programme and the show itself, the DVD also comes with many bonus features: subtitles (transcribed phonetically in some cases, very funny), commentary, the making of the tour, the making of the DVD, David Walliams's Big Swim (across the Channel), and extra sketches. If you were lucky enough to attend a performance and think you don't need the DVD, the bonus features should be enough to change your mind.

One word: Terrific!
I went to see the live show twice in 2006 and thought it was a great show! What made it even better was meeting Matt and David four times after the shows.
Matt and David have gone through a 140-date nationwide tour for which 200,000 tickets were sold in one day while Walliams swam the 21 mile English Channel rasing one-million-pounds for Sport Relief!
This DVD is full of behind the scenes footage which will have not been seen as yet by anyone.
The DVD was filmed during the Blackpool Opera House show on Tuesday 9th May.
This is a must have for any fan!

Great fun, good quiz
The quiz is great fun
its interactive and makes a fun (grown-up)family event.

The DVD becomes familiar after a bit, so not good for repeat viewing
but it comes out and gets played every few months.
