Come Fly with Me - Series 1 [DVD]

Product Information

Come Fly With me targets more familiar faces and it's failing seems to be that it is set in an average setting, peopled by average characters. It satirizes people who have the time and money to use airports regularly - people with respectable dayjobs, authority and status; people with a shot at a managerial role. Basically, it targets the half of the audience that laughed AT the freak parade that was Little Britain. They are much more stable, affluent and secure characters than inhabited Little Britain - the kind of people who like to think of themselves as 'average' men and women, and that they should be able to hide behind their averageness.

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 ] I like how the various characters from different sketches actually meet each other. Though it is admittedly somewhat self indulgent to see these two in every role.

Ian Foot (Walliams) – The pompous, racist, and bigoted chief immigration officer who often comes up with ridiculous reasons not to allow a foreign person into the country, which includes people such as the Polish ambassador to the United Kingdom. [10] 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. Memorable Dialogue: Paul after his first time up in a jet: “I felt like my face was gonna slide off!” Stream It Or Skip It: ‘When Evil Lurks’ on Shudder, an Innovative Demonic-Possession Horror That Just Might Be The Scariest Movie of 2023 Filming begins at Doncaster-Sheffield".

Precious deliberately causes problems that force the closure of the kiosk, allowing her to take the day off. Her main catchphrase is shouting "praise the Lord!" Following their success with the various "Little Britain" shows, I suppose Lucas and Walliams were bored by repeating the same sorts of characters again and again and again (and again). So, they decided to make "Come Fly With Me" and come up with a whole new set of characters they can do again and again and again (and again). Okay...the show IS repetitious. But it's also extremely funny--well written, wonderfully acted and a lot of fun.

How side splittingly funny! A low cost airline that charges for every extra? Amazing observational humour! I watched three episodes hoping that it would get better. That maybe new characters who were amusing might be introduced, or the existing ones developed, but no.
