Little Britain

Matt and David's sketch show, Little Britain attempts to explore British life in Britain as it is lived by Britons today in Britain. This series takes the form of a tour around the oddball world of Little Britain, with the booming god-like voice of Tom Baker providing the narration. This is a Britain where the capital city is called Sneddy, where child labour is thankfully alive and well, where Whizzer and Chips has a political correspondent and where, unlike other countries, there are in fact TWO genders.
