BBC Comedy Show Hinted to Return After 20 Years Despite Controversial Past
Lucas says there are no plans to reboot the controversial sketch show, after reports it could return following a revived company and renewed TikTok interest.
Matt Lucas denied reports of a Little Britain reboot on X, stating, "I don't know where this story has come from but there are no plans to reboot this show."
Created by Lucas and David Walliams, the sketch show aired on the BBC from 2003 to 2006, gaining popularity for eccentric characters before facing criticism for problematic content.
Speculation grew after the reactivation of Little Britain Ltd, the production company behind the series, as younger viewers discovered clips on TikTok.
David Walliams previously suggested the show could return via streaming, noting platforms offer more creative freedom than the BBC, which he said, "There's still great stuff, but less so now."
Lucas recently appeared on the latest series of Taskmaster alongside Richard Ayoade and Nina Conti, while the original series remains off major platforms since 2020.
