Little Britain fans will be having a laugh with Little Britain: Abroad, an hourlong escapade (plus extras) on the British comedy troupe's adventures around the world. The troupe's secret weapon: Men dressing in drag is funny in any culture. The skits take a cue from Little Britain's patron saints, Monty Python, as no bit is too silly. Planes are accidentally hijacked; madcap misunderstandings result in Vicky's being held in a Thai jail, waiting for Mum (Dawn French, in a memorable cameo) to come rescue her. One of the best skits involves an official visit from the British Prime Minister to the U.S. White House, whilst a "very special relationship" between the two countries is, shall we say, cemented. Extras include a hilarious documentary, Little Britain Down Under, and great commentary over both regular scenes and some deleted ones. You can laugh till you weep, and then learn a thing or three about how successful comedy is built. Not bad, that. --A.T. Hurley

Customer Reviews

The Boys are Back
Fans of Little Britain appreciate any chance to revisit the world of wacky characters created by this amazing comic team. While I must say that this two-part Christmas special may not quite be as fresh and funny as the original series, much like the Ab Fab Christmas specials, there are always a few astoundingly good laughs and the comfort of the familiar.

What's more, there's the star studded Comic Relief version of Little Britain Live. Yes, many of them are stars that aren't quite huge in the U.S. but it's fun to see them try to hold their own with the immensely talented Lucas and Walliams.

Little Britain Abroad.
I thought this DVD was amazing! It had all I needed to get my Little Britain fix although, in the deleted scenes, there was one scene that should have made it to the main video and that was a scene with "Linda" the secretary for the ever elusive "Martin". Once you see it, you will know what I mean.(I don't want to spoil it for anyone!) If you are a Little Britain fan, you will most definately love this DVD, Little Britain Abroad. With Andy up to his old tricks and Carol chaperoning a tour group....you'll love it!!

ABSOLUTELY worth the money - the funniest yet
If you have never seen this duo, get this dvd - it is "the best of" really. You will laugh and laugh. I purchased the entire set, this was included, and am watching it for the 2nd time around. I believe this duo to be the funniest comedy I've ever watched and the best money I've ever spent on dvds. I am sure we will watch it over and over again - just use subtitles if you aren't from the UK, so in the places where they talk really really fast (as part of the comedy), you can understand it all -- especially with "Vicky Pollard". LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!
