'Little Britain' actor Matt Lucas to wed his male partner in the UK next year.

And -- 'Little Britain' to be American-ized for HBO.

That was really funny, ericb. Thanks.

What was the last word in the sketch? I didn't catch it and don't know what it meant.

Reminds me of the song "Only Gay Eskimo." I think its by They Might Be Giants. I used to laugh hard to that song.

BTW -- also check out Matt Lucas and 'Little Britain' co-star, David Walliams, as they appear as the Pet Shop Boy's in that group's 'I'm With Stupid' music video [reportedly commentary on the Bush and Blair relationship].

"Minge" = pussy.

"She just stays in on a Sunday and eats minge"

Somehow the idea of Americanizing Little Britain sounds doomed to fail.

Only Gay Eskimo was Tenacious D. Worth a listen if only for the Van Morrison impersonation.

I've fallen out with Lucas & Walliams after this last series of Little Britain. They offend my liberal aesthetic God Damn It. I just can't get over the feeling that they've stepped back from poking fun at a close minded mentality and become the thing they hated.

The vomiting racist old ladies were hilarious. The Fat women in the spa & Vicky whatever her name is - not so much.

We're both wrong seanyboy, Corky and the Juice Pigs sang it originally.

Corky and the Juice Pigs, actually. From MadTV, maybe 10 years ago?
