David Walliams and Matt Lucas 'discussing' Little Britain return 🙌
This NEEDS to happen!
Little Britain was one of the most popular British sitcoms in the early noughties, and ever since the last episode aired on the BBC back in 2007, fans of the show have been praying for a return!
Well, it looks like a revival could be on the cards, with Little Britain writers David Walliams and Matt Lucas in 'discussion' about the show's future.
During an interview on This Morning earlier this week, hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield asked Britain's Got Talent judge David all about the rumours....
Responding about bringing the show back, David said, "We might do. We're just talking about it at the moment. Matt Lucas has his last night in Les Misérables – the stage show – tonight, so we’re meeting up very soon and talking about our future plans."
OMG! 🙌
Despite originally starting life on the radio, Little Britain become one of the biggest sitcoms when it first aired on TV in 2003. The show aired on BBC Three between 2003-2004, before gaining enough popularity to air on BBC One between 2005-2007.
The popular sketch show showed both David and Matt playing a number of different characters, representing parodies of British people from all walks of life.
