Little Britain is a character-based BBC radio and television sketch show written by and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams that relies largely on simplistic caricatures and heavy use of catch-phrases. Its title is an amalgamation of the terms 'Little England' and 'Great Britain', and is also the name of a Victorian neighbourhood and modern street in London. Lucas and Walliams continue to deny press speculation that the third series would be the last. An American version of the series will be made for HBO by Lucas and Walliams in 2007.

Many of the characters on the show have their own often-repeated catch phrases. Many have become well-known in the United Kingdom, and the show has gained a mainstream following.
