Overview: Based on the highly successful Radio 4 series, Little Britain is a hilarious exploration of the British Isles and its curious inhabitants after a successful pilot earlier this year. The programme travels from the Scottish highlands, through Wales, the tranquil English countryside and the less tranquil council estates of Britain's inner cities, while the narrator (Tom Baker) adds his insightful and eloquent comments for those less familiar with these fair Isles.

DVD Verdict: Matt Lucas and David Walliams are back and have successfully avoided a sophomore slump with six episodes from the second season of Little Britain. This time the boys have veered deeply into politically incorrect territory with their popular British sketch show. The comedy has moved from subtext and innuendo to a bolder more aggressively offensive humor. They insult lesbians, blacks, women from India, Asians, little people, the homeless . . . and that's the first episode and a half alone. What definitely wouldn't fly on American television is one of the most popular and award winning British hits. If you're easily offended or plan this purchase to play at work then move on, move on, nothing to see here folks. Everything, costumes, makeup, scenery, even the nudity has been ramped up for more audacious look. The new opening titles are even funnier than last season. If you're not familiar with Little Britain then start with the first season to get the flavor and feel and back story of the characters and learn why this is one of the most highly anticipated DVDs in the British Isles. For fans of the first season some of the characters make return appearances. Vicky Pollard is still a juvenile delinquent, Kenny Craig is still using his hypnotism to exert influence, Dafydd still thinks he's "the only gay in the village", Lou is still patiently caring for Andy and oblivious to the fact Andy doesn't need his wheelchair, Sebastian Love still has a crush on the Prime Minister, Marjorie Dawes is still torturing Paul, Mira, Pat, and the whole Fat Fighters gang, Dr. Lawrence still puts too much hope in the assimilation of "Eh Eh Eaah" Anne into society, and pint-sized actor Dennis Waterman still wants to "write the theme tune; sing the theme tune." Unconvincing transvestite Emily Howard is back as well but this time with an equally unconvincing and mustached "lady friend" Florence. The flute piping, looney Innkeeper of the Ye Olde Hotel in Scotland, the Kelsey Grammar schoolmaster, Royal correspondent Peter Andre, novelist Dame Sally Markham, ex-actor Sir Bernard Chumley, schoolteacher Edward Grant and his young wife and pupil Samantha, Denver Mills the Olympic medalist, Des Kaye the ex-children's television star, and in an act of mercy, Jason -- the bloke who fancies his friend' Gary's grandmother have all disappeared in favor of a host of new characters and sketches. The whole shebang is still voiced over by Tom Baker whose narrative is more ridiculous than ever. One note, the menu is a bit hard to navigate. The moving picture post cards are a bit hard to read and decipher even with good eyesight and problem solving skills. To select an item from the menu, what you're looking for is an old fashioned style pointer finger. Just like last time the producers threw in a fun menu joke as well.
