OMG that's awesome! It'd definitely appeal to the UK viewers. The thing I wonder is (I've said this before) how many people who watch Neighbours also watch Little Britain?

The Neighbours episode featuring David and Matt is on tonight June 14 at 6:30pm on 10 as I found out from looking at the tv guide.

That was it?!?!?!?!?! What a waste!

For those of you who didn't see Neighbours, two characters were having a conversation at a table in the Scarlet Bar, when in the background, Lou pushed Andy in. He placed him at a table, and went off and started talking to Harold. Andy got up and started playing the motorbike racing game. A minute or so later he came back to the table, then Lou came back. You couldn't even hear anything!

Funnily enough in the next Neighbours episode, one character (I don't know her name) says that someone beat her record at the motorbike game and she did not noticed this person in the shop.

Presumably it was Andy who beat her record.

Watching The Ice Warriors today, I was very surprised to hear a Little Britain reference, considering it was made 30 odd years beforehand:

"The computer says no".

That is amazing.

Hours ago UKTV showed the Friday Night Project (which is a variety show) episode which was guest hosted by David Walliams. It included a parody of Little Britain. Oh my a parody of a parody. Also in the program was Tony Head.

Little Britain Abroad is already available here in Australia on DVD and I bought it about two months ago.

Before Little Britain Matt Lucas and David Walliams did Rock Profile in which they parodied pop/rock stars.

It ran for two series between 1999 and 2000. The series 1 episodes was about ten minutes each, the series 2 episodes was a little bit longer.

I recently finished watching it on the DVD release which I bought at the ABC Shop last year.

My favourite episode is from series 1 in episode 5 with Matt and David playing Simon and Garfunkel respectively. I also like the Rock The Blind special.

Rock Profile certainly rocks.

Today Sydney Sunday Telegraph Magazine has an interview with David Walliams.

He talks about how he first met Matt Lucas, the success of Little Britain (Little Britain USA is mentioned with writer Sandra Lee saying that it received mixed review from US critics) and his debut novel The Boy In The Dress.

The Boy In The Dress is about a boy goes to school dressed as a girl. He says that "it's quite Little Britain in themes, obviously, because there's a lot of crossdressing in that show."

The Boy In The Dress is due to be released on November 1.

Well this will be interesting! I wonder what the figures will be like - and whether it will be axed just like every other bloody good show Ten gets their claws on...

I read something about 10 putting on the new cartoon series of star wars on at 12 30 at night. Does anyone know the scoop on this? Why would they put it on then.
