[Rixion]

it was good, not their best but good, i'll be watching the rest of the series:)

[Mikey]

It really made me laugh and it really took the piss out of the real airline shows! Good job Matt and David XD

[RobDawson]

I loved the bit where there was that old lady who said she'd never been on a plane before, and then made the airport manager person buy her stuff and then told him that she'd been on many planes.

I cracked up!!!

[Inseriousity.]

lololol I found the speedy ticket pass customer funny. passing it over the desk etc.
and the man who forgot his passport. "I'm never flying with flylo again... oh here it is" -joins queue- LOL, I can just see that happening

[Callum.]

i thought it was hilarious. the narrator was perfect for taking the piss. proper pisstake of airline etc

[myke]

The old lady bit made me laugh the most lol

[Toasten]

I agree on the speedy boarding pass bit :) When Matt picked up the phone "Fly Lo Chehkin Keely Speechin" he proper did the accent.

[qaxzsw]

lmfao I loved it!

I loved Precious, the coffee shop lady<3 'We got milk, we got cup, we got sugar, we got water, we even got fire! but we don't got no coffee!' The narrator also made it funny because she was like dead serious :L

[luce]

i loved it i will be watching the rest of the series haha i think they got it just right like did it well but not over the top which would have ruined it! The old lady was good and the black west indian was so funny with the coffee running out. hahaha it's on again tomorrow :D

[-paul.]

I didnt like it - i thought they were trying to be too different and it didn't work.

[AgnesIO]

That is the problem with people from your area :P

I found the show really funny, and am seriously looking forward to the next episode.

[Judas]

i thought it was hilarious

when the guy held the sign up at the window to tell her that her dog had died and then waved good bye
omg i cracked up so much LOL

[Chris]

It was hilarious. Loved the bit with the dog and the 92 yr old. :p

[Matthew]

I thought the Chinese girls part was the best

Loved the whole show though

[Mikey]

I really enjoyed it, found it really funny. Can't wait until the next program which I think is tonight (Saturday)

[iBlueBox]

Always loved Matt and Williams work :D Got all of little britain on dvd

I thought Come Fly With Me was funny though, not as good as little Britain but I loved it very much, the Japanese characters made me laugh, also with the coffee shop women,

[Nuxty]

haha, I thought it was well written and I watched it and thought it was funny! I loved the Jamaican woman as I just loved her references such as "Praise de lorrrd for de multipack" :P Think it was great! Can't wait for it on DVD but as said above I don't think it'll be as good as Little Britain! :)

[.x.miss.angel.x]

Loved how promise just chucked the coffee away to go get her egg mcmuffin and shopping done :) Looking forward to it tonight!

[JACKTARD]

when's it on?

[Chris]

It was on yesterday. ^^. It's next on Thursday. :]

Anyway, ep 2 was just as funny. That burger boy who wanted to work on the planes was hilarious.

[Dean]

Oh, is it a series? I thought it was a one off! I'll have to keep watching then, I found the first episode funny :P

[Suspective]

Yeah, it is a series. A brilliant one to.

The transexual bit at the end was a bit cheesy, but funny I guess.

The burger boy was hilarious so is precious.

[Sulai]

It is basically an extension onto the all to familiar Little Britain Series that we have grown tired of.


A little note I intend on sending to Matt Lucas:

"This style of 'acting' is getting rather pathetic now... Stick with Theatre and Musicals... Your performance in Les Misérables was admiral and simply fantastic. If you continue creating this type of 'comedy' then you will be forever typecast as a comedic failure who lives off past successes."

Is this a joke orr?

[Sulai]

Is this a joke orr?

Pardon?

[AgnesIO]

Pardon?

Well, you are talking about a man who has made huge amounts of money for what he does. He also entertains millions of people, so I can't work out how you could class him as a failure if he continues to make millions of people laugh?

[Sulai]

I have credited him as an admiral actor however (as I have said) this is blatantly an extension onto the Little Britain franchise which, in my opinion, is an absolute waste of his time.

And on your note about him "entertaining millions and making huge amounts of money"... actors across the world do this all the time and in some cases they create absolute flops, in my opinion this show.

Take Will Ferrell for example:

A comical genius who has created and portrayed some fantastic characters over the years entertaining millions of people across the world and has made himself a nice personal fortune. However because he has recently starred in some absolute flops he has since become the Least Bankable Actors in Hollywood.

But clearly this show, nor little britain, is a flop?

[Inseriousity.]

Matt Lucas was in Les Miserables really? playing who?

I thought 2nd episode was funny too but the whole joke at the end with David S- oh whatever he's called was rubbish. Put your hands up if you've never heard of Liberia. -hand up-

[dirrty]

show is jokes

I didn't really like the David S thing, was the guy he named off friends?

[dirrty]

what i don't get though is the fuss about precious in relation to the character being offensive to some people. srsly, some people need to take a chill pill as i thought precious was funny.

Just some politically correct losers trying to make a fuss over nothing.

[Hayleigh]

HEHEEHEEE i loved it will be watching it from now onwardsss :)

[Conservative,]

Lmfao I saw it last night when I got back from holiday :') brilliant. Matt Lucas is the best in the 2 episodes so far but they're both brilliant. I love the jamaican (or is she barbadosian?) woman made me crack up "We got milk, we got water, we got paper cups, we got sugar, we got FIRE but we got NO COFFEE! Someone stole the coffee! The lord works in mysterious ways!" *walks off singing a hymn & throws coffee in the bin* lmao.

[Nikki]

I wasn't that impressed with the first episode but I loved the second, the bit where the airline manager introduced the chair which turned into beds ;')

quite obviously just you on that one. everyone i know loves this show, it's got good ratings and from what i've heard, good reviews as well. fair enough if you don't like it, but speak for yourself...

[Sulai]

But clearly this show, nor little britain, is a flop?

I'm confused as to what you are saying...

Although Little Britain was extremely successful early on. However, by series 3 it had just become another excuse for a television show to make money. Sadly the magic of this comedy duo has gone and the spark that once defined this style of comedy as original (the first series of Little Britain) has sadly gone out.


Matt Lucas was in Les Miserables really? playing who?-

He portrayed Thénardier in the 25th Anniversary show at the O2 in London. He was highly praised by critics all around the world and considered by many to be one of the strongest and comfortable Thénardier's since the show began.

It has received mainly negative reviews from critics, with some calling it "the worst “sketch show”, or “sitcom” to have ever gone out on Christmas Day". It is also interesting to find that the small minority of positive reviews have come, mostly, from the 'ever so charming' (note the sarcasm) Tabloid Newspapers.

So sadly it isn't just myself who deems Come Fly With Me, useless, unnecessary, crude and a down right waste of acting skills from a possible future theatrical genius (Matt Lucas).

In case you have a moment of free time (which I gather you will as you are using the internet) cast your eyes at some of the critical reviews that are easily available on the internet. There just a click away!

This show is hilarious! The criticisms for the show are usually racial and I kind of agree that it isn't right in some way.

That is a fairer link. Both high praises and some slating there.

This is a good review:

I'm enjoying the series but so far nothing has beaten the first eppisode. The whole thing with Precious is getting a bit boring now though.

The third episode with Precious was just lame. We got the joke about her, but it has been over killed.

[dbgtz]

at least once in the series we have to see her open the coffee shop.

[AgnesIO]

at least once in the series we have to see her open the coffee shop.

That would be funny.

[dbgtz]

That would be funny.

ye and a customer comes and says like "theres a (insert something) in my coffee"
then shes like "sorry no coffee left, shop closed" and just closes the thing in his face then you see her leg it in the distance.

[Zuth]

By far the best they have done! Tops little britan by far! I love tajj were he is on 'buggy duty'. But 'we got no coffee!' is the best. They are all funny thought.

[triston220]

It's filmed at my local airport. :D

I found that parts with the old women really funny. :P

[Seth]

Precious is hilarious! I love it when she was talking about Noel and the devil inside him :/

[GommeInc]

It's good, but so far the first episode is the best one. Some areas of the second and third (like new characters) have been good, but the old characters are following the same gravy train and it gets a bit boring after a while. Precious is a good character, but they need to show off other sides of her now as we all know she doesn't want to open that damn coffee shop anytime soon :P

[scott]

It was on TV when I was on holiday so I misssed it :P but I've watched all the episodes and they are all quite good :D

[Shar]

I've just watched the first episode and it was rather hilarious, I'll try and watch all of them xD

[Cosmic]

I love it! I'm glad Matt Lucas and David Walliams have returned with something fresh.
