Read our privacy policy Matt Lucas says the sketch show he created with comedy partner David Walliams will not return for another series because certain aspects would be considered "too offensive" today. The show ended in 2005 but saw spin-offs including live tours, Christmas specials, a Comic Relief live episode, and an American version titled Little Britain USA. Appearing on Loose Women, Lucas, who is releasing a new autobiography called Little Me, said it would be hard to portray many of the characters today because it would "upset a lot of people". Speaking to the Big Issue, he said he would do things differently if he could "go back and do Little Britain again".
