‘Little Britain’ Celebrates An Important Date
‘Little Britain’ Celebrates An Important Date
Over the years Gareth’s TV shows have cast him in 100s of roles spanning
every century since the early stone age, and – when you get to the 20th
Century – roles from every decade. However, there is one role that he’s
never had the chance to play - that of his own father.
This time, it wasn’t for the cameras, but for a friend. When ‘Little
Britain’ writer/performer Matt Lucas decided to have a fancy dress party
for his 30th Birthday, the theme was – quite rightly – Britain,
and Gareth got the chance he’d been waiting for to get hold of an authentic
WW2 RAF uniform exactly as his father wore 60 years ago, and – alongside
partner Violet Berlin in genuine WRAF garb – stage their very own Little
Battle Of Little Britain.
