Come Fly With Me: Series 1 (2010-11)

I found Matt Lucas and David Walliams new post-Little Britain series to be funny, cutting and enjoyable, perhaps even more so because there was none of the vomity crude shock factor of the later LB series. I liked how the airport's characters interacted and had continued storylines week to week, and I thought that the comedy pair were as funny as ever and pitched their characters just right. 

Some characters worked better than others, and my favourites were Ian Foot, the believeably xenophobic immigration officer; Tommy Reid, the dim burger employee who got a job at the airport to work his way up to being a pilot; Omar Baba, owner of FlyLo a great parody of real-life budget airline owners; and Precious Little, the black female manager of a coffee shop who's incredibly lazy and religious - played by Matt Lucas. 

Judith and Peter Surname

My all time favourites had to be Peter and Judith Surname, the couple who were continually complaining about having, and I don't normal say this, 'the holiday from hell', then launching into an outrageous holiday run down, with Lucas' Peter being brow-beaten the whole time and in the funniest costume of the whole show. The celebrity cameos (David Schwimmer, Barbara Windsor, Geri Halliwell) were all done well too, with a good selection of guests. I'm glad the BBC has commissioned a second series, it felt like a bit like the show slipped under the radar. It didn't attain the statuts of Little Britain, but then that may be a good thing as that was everywhere.
