The mocumentary sketch comedy show, narrated by Tom Baker<\/a>, first aired between 2003 and 2006, and saw David Walliams and Matt Lucas play exaggerated parodies of British people.<\/p>\n That\u2019s TV will be broadcasting all three seasons of the show, plus Little Britain Abroad, the series\u2019s 2006 Christmas specials, with the first episode launching on Saturday 16th December 2023 at 9:05pm.<\/p>\n That\u2019s TV head of programming, Kris Vaiksalu, said: \u201c\u2018Tis the season to be jolly and to spread warmth and laughter. This year, we are especially excited to be showcasing the comedy genius of Matt Lucas and David Walliams to mark 20 years since the launch of Little Britain.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the show hit the screens 20 years ago, it quickly became a cultural phenomenon, and made Lucas and Walliams into comedy gods.<\/p>\n \u201cOn this anniversary, it\u2019s extra special for us to be able to show Little Britain every night as part of our Christmas week comedy festival.\u201d<\/p>\n Vaiksalu also responded to focus group research from Ofcom which showed that some respondents were offended by one of the show\u2019s sketches.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n He said: \u201cThere is a great tradition of British TV comedy being used to expose and ridicule prejudice. I am absolutely clear that Little Britain sets out to lampoon all forms of prejudice, the clue being in the name.<\/p>\n \u201cWe carefully consider the expectations of our audience and the episodes of Little Britain we are showing have been edited in collaboration with Matt and David. We\u2019ve studied Ofcom\u2019s research and are confident that all of our shows this Christmas comply with all Ofcom rules.\u201d<\/p> In a\u00a0report published earlier this year, compiled by polling company Ipsos for Ofcom<\/a>, 115 viewers were shown a particular Little Britain sketch.<\/p>\n Participants said that the scene in question was \u201cexplicitly racist and outdated\u201d and that they were \u201csurprised that it was available on BBC iPlayer\u201d.<\/p>\n![\"Matt](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/p07gfq6c-e1585307535360-2e7e9f5.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"david-walliams-matt-lucas-changes-little-britain-iplayer-newsupdate\\"\/")
