Little Brexit, Radio 4, review
This one-off special is an exercise in nostalgia.
Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 1st November 2019Radio review: Little Brexit, Radio 4
I'm not sure if they said it would never happen, but it didn't seem likely to happen. Yet Brexit may not have brought the country together but it did bring Matt Lucas and David Walliams back together for a special one-off Little Britain reunion 20 years after their Radio 4 debut, complete with numerous familiar characters, old cast members and the booming voice of Tom Baker bellowing "Everybody loves Brexit".
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 31st October 2019Review: Little Brexit
News that David Walliams and Matt Lucas had reunited after more than a decade sparked mixed reactions - from fans happy that the once all-conquering partnership was returning to those concerned that some elements of their comedy, especially regarding race, would be more troublesome than ever.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 31st October 2019Little Britain review: neutered by impartiality rules
The delay to Brexit plus strict pre-election guidelines left few chances for trenchant jokes in David Walliams and Matt Lucas's sketch show.
