Series 3 "repppaaaaarrrrrttttt"

Sunday night I went to the recordings of Series 3 of Little Britain (Thanks very much to Jessie) and it was so exciting I was close to wetting myself in the que just to get into television centre (Probably more to having a weak bladder).

Anyway, less talk of my bladder and straight to the recordings, well there were 3 sets out for the night we were there, two daffyd ones (his parent's kitchen and Myfannwy's pub) as well as a set for Carol (who's it seem's has ditched in working in a bank for a more promising profession, but you wouldn't want me to spoil it where she was, would you?). These live sketches were very good, it was nice to see the Daffyd sketches to go beyond "I'm the only gay in the village" with Daffyd becoming a rent boy wearing a rather revealing outfit exposing his rear prompting an "asda price" joke inbetween takes from matt. The other Daffyd sketch recorded involved Daffyd's mum (once again played by Ruth Madoc). Matt and David generally went through the sketches pretty quickly with only the occassional corpsing.

When not filming we were shown VT footage of the location shoot featuring all your favourite characters. From the footage I saw on the night, it looks like series 3 will be an improvement on the last. There were a series of Lou and Andy sketches which, without giving too much away will probably be the highlight of the series for many, imagine lou and andy sketches but without Lou... Oh I've probably said too much already. There was two Marjorie sketches where the fatties (finally!) revolt against marjorie, an Emily and Florence Hen Night sketch which ends with... Oh I shouldn't say. Then there was a christmas Anne Sketch, a "beautiful" Sebastian sketch, A conclusion to the Linda sketches (The university councellor) which should have been in the last series, 2 ting tong and dudley (See picture above) sketches which were pretty good, a couple of sketches for a character who I shall call "froggie lady" which will be one of those "Ewwwwww..." sketches. Then there was two Bubbles sketch with a cameo from the briliant Rob Brydon and David dressed in a way that might put off the Walliams lusters. Though my two favourite sketches of the night have to be a Kenny Craig sketch with hynoptism over a fax machine and a sketch with Matt dressed as Orville (to say anymore might ruin it). Generally I thought the quality of the sketches was pretty good, although one sketch involving a pissing lady probably was a bit too over the top.

It seems series 3 will be an improvement on the last, the characters have been developed more and most improtantly, it was funny! Can't wait till it airs in November.
