Little Britain is a British sketch comedy television series created by and starring comedians Matt Lucas and David Walliams. The complete second series of the show was originally broadcast on BBC Three in 2004.
Like the first series, the second series consists of eight half-hour episodes, each featuring a collection of comedic sketches and characters. The show's humor is often based on exaggerated stereotypes of British society and culture, as well as lampooning various social and political issues.
The second series includes many of the popular characters from the first series, such as Vicky Pollard, Lou and Andy, and Daffyd Thomas. It also introduces several new characters, including Bubbles DeVere, a wealthy and hedonistic woman who frequently bares her ample bosom; Carol "Computer Says No" Beer, a surly bank clerk who refuses to help her customers; and Sebastian Love, the Prime Minister's aide who is secretly in love with his boss.
The show's satire and social commentary become more pronounced in the second series, with sketches that poke fun at topics such as reality television, consumerism, and government bureaucracy. The second series also includes a number of guest appearances from famous British actors and comedians, such as Dawn French, Anthony Head, and Peter Kay.
The second series of "Little Britain" was another critical and commercial success, cementing the show's status as a cultural phenomenon. The series' mix of irreverent humor and social commentary helped establish Lucas and Walliams as major figures in British comedy and paved the way for future seasons and spin-offs.
