Coming to America: Comedy duo Little Britain is bringing English culture stateside

9/18/2008
"bringing class culture and dignity to america" : here is the intro clip for their new foray out of britain and into america" what's most important to know is that ALL of the MAIN characters no matter who they may be are played by one of two guys. I think the accents and the chameleon-like personality changes are great - others find it boring to tears... oh well, u may decide:

1- Vicky is one of Little Britain's most famous and notorious characters. An aggressive, rambling, sexed-up teen mom in a pink track suit, she always goes off on tangents when confronted by authorities for her criminal behavior.The Little Britain USA buzz is that Vicky is sent to Brat Camp after burning down Disneyland. In this clip, Vicky starts work as a sex line operator and finds a familiar voice on the other end of the line.
2 - Marjorie is the counselor for a weight-loss support group. She is known to insult her students and to be hypocritical about her own weight problems. In one sketch she asks the support group members to identify the fat content of dust. Of course, Marjorie would be an easy character to transport into an American setting, where the weight-loss industry is huge. One of her skits is rumored to guest star Rosie O'Donnell, who isn't spared Marjorie's harsh criticism.
3 - Daffyd (pronounced kind of like David) resents any other gay man that comes
into his village to challenge his self-proclaimed role as The Only Gay in the Village. His outfits are the best! He lacks any sort of gaydar and is shocked when he finds out that men who fit the gay stereotype are, in fact, gay. Although no one he encounters in the town is prejudiced toward him, he automatically assumes that they are.
4- Meet Carol Beer. She's an unhelpful, unemotional service worker.
5 - In the second season Emily takes aspiring transvestite Florence Rose under her wing, and together they work toward becoming elegant gentlewomen. Still, Emily's efforts are mostly for naught.
