My new favorite show is Little Britain. It’s some of the best sketch comedy I’ve seen. Two actors play every character, all of whom are twisted, unusual, and slightly offensive. There are dozens of them, but here are just a few of my favorites:

Lou and David—Lou takes care of wheelchair-bound Andy, helping make his disabled life a little better. Andy is weird and rude and sounds like there’s a chocolate bar stuck in his throat. When Lou’s not around, Andy pops up out of his wheelchair and does everything that faithful Lou normally does when he’s present as Andy’s caretaker. You have to love a guy who’s a wheelchair faker!


Daffyd is this ridiculously exaggerated gay guy who refers to himself as “the gay.” He wears rubber shirts and hot pants and dog collars and he’s bitchy. He’s convinced he’s the only gay in the village and does everything to thwart other gays. I love a pot belly wrapped in latex, hot!


Vicky Pollard is a bad-ass teenager who smokes in the public swimming pool, shoplifs and tries to get into bars. When questioned, snaps back all pissy always rambling irrelevant answers trying to dodge the question because she’s guilty. She reminds me of my older sister in the 80s.

Scot Ray is a creepy man who thinks he lives in medieval world and communicates only through interpretive dance and renaissance fair style flute solos. Nothing he says makes any sense, yet it's all so perfect.
