Red-Barracuda Written and performed by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, creators of 'Little Britain', Come Fly with Me is a fly on the wall mockumentary set in an airport that spoofs the many British reality TV shows that have followed this format. It features a wide array of characters such as owner of low-cost airline FlyLo Omar Baba, work-shy coffee kiosk worker Precious Little, highly camp passenger liaison officer Moses Beacon, racist immigration officer Ian Foot, quirky ground crew worker Taaj Manzoor, catty air steward Fearghal O'Farrell, serial holiday-makers Peter and Judith and the extremely thick burger joint worker Tommy Reid who has ambitions of becoming a pilot.Firstly, this is a well written and very well performed comedy. There have been criticisms of it but to be honest I thought it was very funny on the whole. Lucas and Walliams are very amusing and talented comic performers and they are on very good form here. I can't compare it too much with 'Little Britain' seeing as I have only seen bits and pieces from that on-going series. But suffice to say, I think the idea of setting the comedy around a specific place works very well and means that there has to be a bit more discipline in the writing in order for the characters to all fit within the specific confines of the airport setting. Sure, it could be accused of being repetitive to a certain extent with some characters being slightly more one note than others. But on the whole Lucas and Walliams extract a lot of varied comedy from their characters and I have to admit I laughed quite a bit at this one.As far as the accusations of racism I have often seen, I simply can't agree with this. It's actually quite lazy to label the show racist on the basis of these white actors applying dark make-up to their skin in order to play ethnic characters. To say this is not acceptable is illogical and lazy thinking, seeing as Lucas and Walliams play an assortment of characters from various regions around the UK. To say that they can play characters with different accents and hair colours but not different skin pigmentation is simply absurd. The fact that they do play these characters is in fact the opposite of racist – it's inclusive and treats types of Britons in the same manner irrespective of skin colour. Aside from this, you need look no further that the character of the immigration officer Ian Foot to understand what the creators really think of such narrow-minded thinking.This is for sure a funny show that is probably a little under-appreciated.
MartinHafer "Come Fly With Me" is not a show for normal people...it's not. And, if you are normal then I strongly urge you NOT to watch it--it will make you weird or it will strongly offend you. This is pretty much what I would tell people about "Little Britain" as well--both shows starring David Walliams and Matt Lucas.Following their success with the various "Little Britain" shows, I suppose Lucas and Walliams were bored by repeating the same sorts of characters again and again and again (and again). So, they decided to make "Come Fly With Me" and come up with a whole new set of characters they can do again and again and again (and again). Okay...the show IS repetitious. But it's also extremely funny--well written, wonderfully acted and a lot of fun.Before you go out and watch the show, however, be aware that the comedy team's humor is often crude and adult--though "Come Fly With Me" is less graphic and adult than "Little Britain". However, "Come Fly With Me" IS a film that will offend the politically correct--particularly in the USA, as having white guys in black-face, the racist border control agent or impersonating Asians or Muslims is considered wrong and you NEVER are supposed to laugh at this sort of thing...that is, if anyone else is nearby.
bellab1972 Come fly with me is on par with little Britain! Just NOT funny! I am in disbelief that anyone could find this stupidity funny! The characters are poorly made up and the make up is amateurish! A 10 year old could do a better job! The skits are probably created by a group of stoners because they would be the only ones who would find this garbage funny! All in all this show should NEVER be seen again and I am upset it is taking up valuable television space where a good program could be shown! I can't even stand the commercials promoting the show! If this is English humor then I say please stop making comedy shows!
bazmitch23 After the failure of Little Britain USA, Matt and David decided to get from LB and start a new show from scratch. Their idea was a 6 part mockumentary series set in an airport.Was it good? Computer says "No".It's just so unfunny and BORING! The guest stars are just doing it for the cash. They probably knew this show was going to flop anyway.Granted Matt and David are very good actors and perform every character very well. However, Matt does the worst Irish accent since Brad Pitt.We have the typical Little Britain racist jokes, sex jokes and gay jokes. Like LB USA, I found myself yawning every minute. I only watched 3 episodes and that was bad enough.Is there anything funny? Well, there's a scene where the owner of Flylo is inside a plane and he's showing you a sheet that instead of showing you crash positions, it shows you sexual positions. Then he feels horny and goes into a toilet. And the sign slides from "Vancant" to "Doing it". I have to admit, I laughed.Overall, I thought this show was worse than LB USA. Lucas and Walliams will have to do something spectacular to win us over again. Maybe a Little Britain movie.
