Little Britain making huge return for one-off Brexit special after 12 years

Iconic British show Little Britain is going to return to screens very soon - 12 years after it originally aired.

The one-off comeback is surprisingly a Brexit special, as writers David Walliams and Matt Lucas created an episode sparked by the political drama surrounding Brexit.

Little Britain was originally broadcast on the BBC for all of the hit series, but this special one-off is actually set to air on BBC Radio 4 on October 31.

As it's a special occasion, the show has changed its name to Little Brexit, but the infamous characters including Vicky Pollard and pals Lou and Andy will still appear on the iconic comedy.

The one-off episode comes as Brexit comes to a head in the House of Commons today.

Walliams, who is a Britain's Got Talent judge, couldn't contain his excitement over the great news.

The star tweeted the news with: "We are back back back!

"Little Brexit is on BBC Radio 4 on Thursday 31st October at 6:30pm," and later added: "Little Brexit was recorded last night at Shaw Theatre London."

It was music to the ears of fans of the original show, as they rushed to Twitter and tweeted back: "New Little Britain 'Little Brexit'."

And they suggested David should make a new series of Come Fly With Me aswell, saying: "Don't forget to bring back new Come Fly With Me too."

"I look forward to this!" wrote another.

*Little Brexit airs on BBC Radio 4 on Thursday, October 31, at 6.30pm.
