Little Britain
Old editions of BBC sketch show Little Britain have been taken off BBC iPlayer, Netflix and BritBox.
The follow-up Come Fly With Me is also no longer available on Netflix.
Scenes featuring the comedians playing black characters have been viewed as particularly problematic.
Having written my own review of The BBC's Big Night In, I've had a look at some of the things other critics have written. Writing in The Independent Alexandra Pollard liked most of the charity marathon, except for Little Britain, which she called "atrocious" and a "horror show".
David Walliams and Matt Lucas will back on TV for the first time with Little Britain in over 10 years performing a brand new sketch for The Big Night In.
Details of the sketch will remain under wraps until the live show.
With Matt Lucas back on the box with Pompidou and David Walliams rarely out of the limelight it seems like a good time to revisit this interview. I spoke to the duo for the Reader's Digest in 2007 just as Little Britain was going stratospheric. We met in a Greek restaurant in East London but the lunch was very rushed as they had an important meeting at BBC TV Centre, which was in West London in those days. I shared a cab with them across town and we continued the interview in transit. They were both very good company.
