Fans of Little Britain were left in stitches of laughter after the iconic BBC comedy returned to screens after 17-years away for a one-off special.
Duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams once again joined forces to help raise money for charity as well as celebrating key workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the characters looked somewhat different to last time they graced screens.
The pair opted to rock several dodgy wigs and props in order to assist them.
Grey scorers were used as part of a wig and spaghetti for Vicky Pollard’s famous bleach blonde locks.
During the comedy skit, Lucas and Walliams spoke about the current Covid-19 pandemic while they were in character as Andy and Lou.

While dressed as Lou, David asked: “Now Andy, I’ve just been to the supermarket for you, it only took 11 hours, and I got all of your favourites for your tea. Chicken nuggets, chips, more chips. What would you like to eat?”
Famed for his one-liners, Andy replied: “Bat.”
Viewers instantly took to social media to share their reaction, with one fan tweeting: “Very Little Britain was absolutely brilliant. Thanks so much for bringing some much-needed laughs to everyone.”

“@RealMattLucas bats! Absolutely loved it tonight. Please bring ‘Little Britain back!” penned a third.

Speaking about the future of Little Britain during an appearance on The One Show, Matt Lucas said: “We are getting on well and we are thinking about what we can do with Little Britain. But we don’t know what it will be.
“Could it be a podcast? Could it be a series on TV? Could it be a stage show?
“We have just got to find the time but definitely we will do. We are not 100 per cent sure but we will.”
