Come Fly with Me

Holy Cow! Ten stars aren't enough for 'Come Fly With Me'. This Yank discovered it on streaming--and it's truly one of the best comedies I've ever seen. Lucas and Walliams are highly talented, versatile performers, and the material here is as funny as "Little Britain", only less raunchy. It's amazing how many characters the boys portray in the show, and I was nearly at the last episode before I realized a few of them--like Precious Little and Omar Baba--weren't played by other actors. The narration of the episodes, done in a very straight-laced manner, is a perfect contrast to the comic action. I bought the DVD, have watched it several times, and it always makes me LOL.....very few programs can do that. The one regret is that there are only 6 episodes of this gem. Matt, David, how about a 'Come Fly' encore, guys? Please?

Ashamed to say this but this show is probably only really funny if you've seen the 'fly on the wall' shows that they parody. The characters are pitch perfect send-ups of the hapless 'stars' of the airport based programs.

Less cruel than Little Britain, like many character based comedies, such as The Fast Show, this just gets funnier and funnier. David Walliams and Matt Lucas are top notch comedy actors, in some ways much too good for such light entertainment as this. Thank goodness they've dropped the catch phrases!

The format probably won't last for more than a series but enjoy it will its here.

Considering that this was made long after Little Britain's success, Come fly with me certainly pulls its weight. An airport setting is a nice refresh from a lot of mainstream comedies. Only 6 episodes where ever made, and that's a real shame because I feel they could have done a lot more with the show. On the upside, it genuinely gives the impression of a real documentary-you could show someone the intro and they would think it is actually about a real airline.

Some people would find it a bit offensive, but personally I didn't find it at all distasteful. The only complaint I have about this show is that I felt the husband and wife pilots "Jackie and Simon" were a bit over used. But it is very minor. It is a good show and is certainly worth your time if you liked Little Britain.

Many people have said this is not as good as Little Britain but personally I thought it was so much better. Little Britain is too crude for my taste but Come fly with me is perfect observational humour. It's especially funny if you have ever seen the "Airport" documentary about Heathrow

It's sad they made only one season of this show. Ian the immigration officer is hilarious lol
