Little Britain, big stars
Christmas special line-up revealed
Peter Kay, Steve Coogan, Dawn French, Julia Davis and Paul McKenna will all appear in Little Britain’s Christmas special.
The show will be split into two half-hour programmes on the theme of Little Britain Abroad.
Sketches include ‘the only gay in the village’ Daffyd visiting friend Myfanwy's new bar in Mykanos; Sebastain and the Prime Minister at the White House; and mental patient Anne making a trip to the Vatican.
Fans were given a preview of the show at a recording in London over the weekend, where video sketches were also played. Details have since been posted on the comprehensive David Walliams fansite.
Other scenes include the pernickety Mr Mann searching for a pirate memory game in Morocco; Marjorie Dawes visiting Fat Fighters USA while her US counterpart comes to the UK; and hypnotist Kenny Craig getting a taste of his own medicine courtesy of McKenna.
Coogan plays the pilot of a plane taking Lou and Andy to Disneyland that crashes on a desert island for a series of Lost-style sketches; while French plays Vicky Pollard’s mum in a sketch that has her arrested for heroin smuggling in Thailand.
Kay and Davis feature in a sketch about Dudley and his Thai bride Ting Tong. Kay plays Dudley’s brother who married Russian mail-order wife Ivanka (Davis).
