DON’T GET PERSONA–oh, never mind, doesn’t matter.

Now if this did Taiwan Tony it wouldn’t be out of place at all.

At all.

At.

All.

So we’re passing judgment on a show that hasn’t even gone into production yet? Lovely. Good to know.

I’m actually going to submit a sketch to this, because why not?

[Bexley Heath]

Well, we’re passing judgment on it based on Lucas’s previous sketch efforts, which is a reasonable metric, to some extent.

Submit away, though. The more actually decent sketches they have to choose from, the less likely they are to resort to offensive filler.

[Seb Patrick]

I’m going to submit several sketches to it, probably.

[Pete Part Three]

I like Matt Lucas and think he’s a very talented comic performer. David Walliams, however, can fuck right off.

It looks like this is Walliams-free though, so I’ll likely give it a chance.

I’ve written something. I’ve never written a radio sketch before and it might not be any good. I thought it quite amusing. Just more an amusing character piece rather than Gag! Bang! Gag! Bang! etc, (although there are gags) but Little Britain’s humour tends to be based on characters and their eccentricities.

I really enjoyed the experience. And I have an idea for a follow up with the same character. Whether I’ll write it and send it in with the original, I’m not sure. They allow five submissions per person, but whether that includes follow up sketches (i.e. based on the ongoing story of a particular character) I don’t know. I guess it can’t hurt. If they like the first they can use the other in a later episode.

Anyway, getting a bit ahead of myself there. I’ll read through what I’ve done and rework it if need be.

“Six episodes of 2525, which is said to ‘take its stylistic cue from Little Britain’…”

AAAAAND that’s where I stopped reading.

[ChrisM]

I didn’t mind Little Britain, (the earlier series at least) but the repetitive humour got a bit much after a while.

And some stuff just came across rather nasty, later, although I think it was meant to be ironic.
