Little Britain is often regarded as one of the UK’s most controversial TV shows, including blackface characters and offensive representations of gay and disabled people15:05, 09 Feb 2025Updated 15:10, 09 Feb 2025Little Britain is a series steeped in controversy.The polarising UK series, first released 9 February 2003, featured comedians David Walliams and Matt Lucas dressed as different fictionalised members of British society.Vicky Pollard, a teenager in a pink tracksuit, Daffyd Thomas, a gay man often decked out in lycra or PVC, and Andy Pipkin, a man so lazy he pretends to be disabled, are some of the show’s most recognisable characters.Dudley Punt, played by Walliams, and Ting Tong Macadangdang, played by Lucas, are two of the most controversial characters in the series. Ting is described as Dudley’s “mail-ordered bride,” known for begging and seducing her husband as he repeatedly attempts to kick her out of his flat.Today’s audiences agreed society has “moved on” from the racist characters in Little BritainOfcom’s asked study participants about the sketch said that they felt as though “society had moved on” and the BBC responded: “All jokes in our output are judged on context and intent.””The sketches in which the character Linda Flint makes reference to the appearance or race of a series of people are intended to expose and ridicule some of the outdated prejudices and racism that still exist in parts of British society, which is more apparent when viewing the sketches within the context of a full episode, and across the series as a whole.”The show has also been criticised for the portrayal of disabled and gay charactersThe organisation explained that Little Britain is “part of the BBC’s comedy archive” and that viewers are informed about the “inclusion of discriminatory language” on iPlayer.Back in 2020, it was reported that Little Britain, along with Walliams and Lucas’ other comedy show Come Fly With Me, was pulled from iPlayer, BritBox and Netflix as “times have changed”.Matt Lucas played the show’s most memorable character Vicky PollardA BBC spokesperson said at the time: “There’s a lot of historical programming available on BBC iPlayer, which we regularly review. Times have changed since Little Britain first aired so it is not currently available on BBC iPlayer.”Little Britain also came under fire for the use of blackface when portraying the character Desiree DeVere, along with the offensive portrayal of gay and disabled characters. In 2020, Matt tweeted that he and David are “very sorry” and wanted to “make it clear that it was wrong”.Both Walliams and Lucas have apologised for the showLucas, who became a household name from the show, also spoke about his regrets back in 2017. The comedian admitted: “If I could go back and do Little Britain again, I wouldn’t make those jokes about transvestites. I wouldn’t play black characters.””Basically, I wouldn’t make that show now. It would upset people. We made a more cruel kind of comedy than I’d do now,” said Lucas – and co-star Walliams has also previously expressed that he would “definitely do it differently” today.Article continues belowJoin the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

Severance fans have noticed that one vital scene foreshadows the major events of episode four and could be the key to figuring out what happens next in the series14:03, 09 Feb 2025Severance fans are losing their minds over one major piece of information.Apple TV viewers will remember the Lumon is Listening video shown to the Macro Data Refinement department after the Over Time Contingency incident. Interestingly, a scene from the stop-motion video hinted toward one of the most shocking events that occurred later in episode four.In the clip, Helly’s puppet is shown bobbing for pineapples with her hands tied behind her back. She leans forward and dips her head into the water as the shot then moves to show her face from below.As Helly dunked her head underwater, the camera zooms in on her facial expression which mirrors the exact shot used when Irving attempts to drown Helly in the forest. In episode four, the MDR department find themselves in a snowy forest and Irving slowly begins to realise that Helly is actually Helena Eagen acting as a “mole”.Helly’s fate was foreshadowed in the Lumon Is Listening videoAfter a short confrontation in front of the “tallest waterfall in the world” Irving grabs Helena by the scruff of her neck, drags her down to the water and shoves her face into the freezing stream.The camera then cuts to the real life version of the stop-motion shot of Helly’s puppet used in the Lumon video and fans are losing their minds over the jaw-dropping Easter egg. Many viewers took to social media to point out that the massive hint that was right under their noses all along.Irving dunked Helena underwater after figuring out her identityOver on Reddit, someone branded the parallels as “insane foreshadowing” as another person typed: “Consider my mind blown.” Others noted that they need to “go back and rewatch” the rest of the episodes in case they missed any other hints.”When she was getting drowned, my mind was telling me I’d see this before but I didn’t realise it was [from] the new orientation vid. Good catch,” praised another Apple TV fan.Severance fans were mind blown after realising the linkAnother person added their observation: “And Irving was fired [after dunking Helly underwater], the stop-motion showed his head on fire,” referring to the Lumon is Listening video, while others theorised that Irving will “end up in the hall of mirrors” like his puppet.Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.
