DVR alert- Little Britain USA premieres on HBO in September

This britcom was hilarious on BBCA-
I can't wait till they premiere on HBO.
And they will have the returning characters plus new ones

Bleh, I got sick of the recurring characters after the second UK series. I'll give it a shot, but I doubt I'll be a fan.

I agree that the recurring characters got pretty old. Plus, it seemed like they started going for more gross-out humor. But I'm definitely going to check out the HBO version. It sure be interesting to see how they handle the transition into a totally different market.

From the looks of that trailer, it might be more accessible to Americans than the Uk version (several references to British pop culture and celebs) with guests like Rosie O'Donnell. Here's hoping that they are mostly done with Daffyd and Lou & Andy.

I gave up on the UK one after series 2 - it just got shrill, repetitive and annoying... not sure if I'll be into this.

Should be interesting to see if the quality holds up since I love the Brittish version.

I still don't think most viewers will understand a word Vicki Pollard says!

You may be right.

I understand what she says but I don't know if that's a good thing.

Same here. I just hope they don't Americanize it to the point of losing its "Little Britain Soul" .

Harry J. Lennix I guess he's Sebastian's(politician's aide) new love interest.

So I guess this is going to be the back half of the hour three weeks after Entourage starts again.
