Little Britain USA To Air On BBC One This Autumn

Little Britain USA, Matt Lucas and David Walliams’ American version of the hit comedy show, is launching on BBC One this autumn.

Filmed entirely in the States, the series features familiar Little Britain characters in new sketches, as well as brand-new characters, all performed by Lucas and Walliams.

Simon Fuller, executive producer, said: “Little Britain USA is a show we made for HBO, however we always had in mind our British audience and hope everyone enjoys the new characters as much as they do the familiar ones.

“Matt Lucas and David Walliams are two of Britain’s most talented comedy writers and performers and I am happy to continue Little Britain’s special relationship with the BBC.”

Jay Hunt, controller, BBC One said: “I am delighted Matt and Dave will be back on BBC One this autumn with a new series. Little Britain USA is brilliantly observed and has some fantastic new characters for the audience to enjoy.”
