Actress Bridgette Wilson-Sampras Has Ovarian Cancer, Husband Reveals: "An Exceptionally Challenging Time For My Family" The show was the most watched comedy of 2010, with ten million viewers, [31] but also had thousands of viewer complaints, and criticism for perceived racist content. [32] It was the third most-watched show on Christmas Day in the United Kingdom. [33] Controversy [ edit ]Considering that this was made long after Little Britain's success, Come fly with me certainly pulls its weight. An airport setting is a nice refresh from a lot of mainstream comedies. Only 6 episodes where ever made, and that's a real shame because I feel they could have done a lot more with the show. On the upside, it genuinely gives the impression of a real documentary-you could show someone the intro and they would think it is actually about a real airline. Omar Baba (Walliams) – The double-chinned, flamboyantly asinine Arab owner of low-cost airline FlyLo. Baba is a parody of the Greek-Cypriot "low-cost flying" entrepreneur Stelios Haji-Ioannou (the founder of easyJet). [9] Lucas and Walliams portray many of the focal airline and airport staff, as well as some passengers, whose comments and experiences are featured in one or more of the series episodes in the style of a "fly on the wall documentary". Despite announcing a second series, Walliams confirmed in January 2013 that a second series would not air, after Lucas refused to make a second series and the show was cancelled indefinitely.

Great price and speedy dispatch. DVD cover is Spanish but you can easily turn off subtitles and language voiceover in the settings to watch as it was originally broadcast. Thank you! Little Britain famously made fun of the disadvantaged and peripheral elements of the UK population: the people that everybody prefers not to see. At the same time it celebrated the English eccentricity in a weird way. We saw the disabled, the flaming queers, the transsexuals, the illegal immigrants, the chavs & council estate skivers as players in the national drama, even if only satirically. That was a first for British telly. The catch, and what made their style of satire acceptable, was that many of these people were not actually what they seemed: Ting Tong was actually a man from Tooting, Andy was actually able bodied, Dafydd was actually a repressed queer-hater, etc., etc. Matthew Perry Almost Turned Down 'Friends' For A Show "About Baggage Handlers At The LA Airport In The Year 2194"Memorable Dialogue: Paul after his first time up in a jet: “I felt like my face was gonna slide off!” Moodie, Clemmie (3 January 2013).
