David Walliams puts on an animated display as he promotes his latest children’s novel while Matt Lucas teases a Little Britain reboot

David Walliams puts on an animated show as he posed for some fun photos after visiting Heart Radio on Thursday.

The comedian, 53, joined the network to promote his latest children’s novel Super Sleuth, just as his long-time comedy partner Matt Lucas teased an exciting new project.

He looked good in a dark blue shirt that he paired with black jeans for the interview.

David wore a navy blue bomber jacket and completed his outfit with patent lace-up sneakers.

He reunited with his former Britain’s Got Talent colleague Amanda Holden in the leading role.

Elsewhere, David’s old comedy partner Matt Lucas has teased a Little Britain reboot as he revealed the pair have been working on new TV projects.

Little Britain started as a radio program before being turned into a comedy TV sketch series that aired on the BBC between 2003 and 2006.

And on Wednesday’s This Morning, co-creator Matt was asked about rumors of a reboot for a new generation.

Matt teased the possibility of the show’s return when he revealed that he and David had been working on several new ideas, both for TV and elsewhere.

He said: ‘What we’re doing is working on a few different TV ideas, and maybe ideas in other media, to do things together again, because it’s been a long time.

“So we’re developing a lot of different things.”

This Morning co-host Ben Shephard said: ‘I love watching my younger nieces and nephews on Netflix watching Come Fly With Me and watching your stuff.

‘A completely different generation suddenly finds all your comedy on different streaming platforms. How does that feel for you?’

Matt replied, “It’s weird, yeah. Come Fly With Me, I watched last night, is number three on Apple I think – you’ll know when you buy the download.

‘It’s usually in the top three, along with Game Of Thrones and stuff like that. But those are teenagers discovering the series 15 to 20 years after it was made.

“And a lot of people find them on TikTok. They’re naughty, naughty shows, but the teenagers like it.’

It comes after Little Britain returned to BBC iPlayer in 2022 with offensive blackface scenes cut by producers, after being removed from the service in 2020.

Guarantees were given at the time that some scenes had been removed by creators Matt and David, and advisory warnings were used at the start of some episodes.

Some characters, including Vicky Pollard and wheelchair user Andy, were retained, alongside others including Matt’s gay Welshman Dafydd Thomas and David’s ‘transvestite’ Emily Howard.

As part of the show’s 2022 revival, blackface characters including pastor Jesse King, Desiree DeVere and other racial stereotypes such as Thai bride Ting Tong were axed.

In a statement at the time, the BBC said: ‘Little Britain has been made available to fans on BBC iPlayer following edits to the series by Matt and David that better reflect the changes in the cultural landscape over the past twenty years since the show began. was made for the first time.’

However, the BBC defended an ‘explicitly racist’ sketch which is still available to watch on iPlayer, in which David describes an Asian character as ‘smelling of soy sauce’ and ‘the ching-chong Chinese man’.

The company claims the sketch was ‘intended to expose and ridicule some of the outdated prejudices and racism that still exist in parts of British society’ after viewers revealed the content was inappropriate in new Ofcom research .

The sketch, originally broadcast in 2002, features David as university employee Linda Flint describing an Asian student, Kenneth Lao, to her manager over the phone.

He is described as having “yellowish skin, a slight smell of soy sauce…the ching-chong Chinese man.” The scene is accompanied by a laugh track.

Matt and David have both previously apologized for their use of blackface on the show that launched their respective careers.
