Matt Lucas and David Walliams, otherwise known as those two blokes that do Little Britain, are now really very famous indeed. After the solid groundwork laid by Rock Profiles, their pièce de resistance has gone from cult Radio 4 favourite to BAFTA-winning mainstream hit and now they've headed off to conquer America.

So what more can anyone possibly say about Little Britain? Well, if you're a trivia bore you might be interested to know there's an Israeli version of the show called The Israelis and there's also a Russian version of the show called Our Russia. Other than that... well, we could reel off some catchphrases for you to knowingly smirk at, but then we'd be the website article equivalent of Colin Hunt, the proto-David Brent character from the Fast Show who perpetually quoted sketch shows in a kamikaze attempt to be loved.

What we will say is that Little Britain reinvented the sketch show for the 21st Century, features Matt Lucas in fetish gear and has Tom Baker booming things like "The Queen opened Britain in 1982". Oh fiddlesticks, we've gone and quoted the bloomin' thing.
