Customer Reviews

Couldn't put it down, it was THAT good

I am new to Little Britain, becoming a fan after seeing David Walliams at a taping of the Graham Norton show in London last March. He was so amazing and brilliant, I immediately went out and bought the Little Britain boxset, watching every episode and all the extras, the live show, the Comic Relief sketches, etc. I have never laughed so hard in my life. The book came next and I read the whole thing from cover to cover in one day. It was fascinating taking a look into their lives and reading the behind the scenes stuff from the show and the tour. Very well written and kept my interest going, not one dull spot in the book. It made me love David and Matt and Little Britain even more. I can't wait to see what the future holds for these talented performers.

Great shape, quick delivery

The book was in great shape and the delivery was quick. I am so excited to read this book and love the price. Thank you!

Little Britain fans only

Its true - you need to be a Little Britain fan to enjoy this book. I'm a huge fan - so I loved it! I found Matt to be very open, but David was very guarded. It documents their recent live tour, so if you went to their concert (and if you are a true fan - you would have!), buy it, its a great read.

Narrative, Easy to Read - But Only for Little Britain Fans

I enjoyed this book; I also like Little Britain. One can't help but get the feeling that you are being drawn in - that this book is designed to make you like David Walliams and Matt Lucas. By the end of the book, they felt somewhat like friends, and I suspect this is somewhat the aim of the writer It is a fairly open and at times frank narrative of the preparations for the Little Britain tour of the UK in 2005/2006. As an official publication the content is most likely controlled, but frankly it doesn't seem to matter.
