Thanks for trying; I'd love to see it but on a Mac in America i guess i can't. But i appreciate the effort.

What's up with that frothing leprechaun though? Seriously, what a bitch.

i cannot believe Neil & Chris have this kinda video in 2006 with all these technologies and opportunities
they could've presented themselves in new light with this video
they could've wear lots of make-up and look beautiful in video
but no, they had to spoil it with those two morons
OMG, i wanted to throw up when I saw those teeth lip-syncing to Neil's beautiful voice
it spoiled everything
this is such a waste of time to make video like this
people who don't know PSB will see the video and won't understand the joke - they'll just think - OMG look at these morons and they'll think Neil's voice is actually by that teeth-monster!
how sad would that be?
P.S.
I'm sorry if you don't like this but it's just my opinion, no need to rude about it or attack me :)
obviously you've never seen the video to "Home & Dry"... :evil:

it appears that you may not get the humour, ALOT of people watch 'Little Britain" - its one of the highest rating comedy shows here in Australia...

there's a reason why Matt and David look the way they do - you gotta watch the show to understand. Its called 'humour' dear... :wink:

Also, if you know anything about PSB, you'd know this is the PSB sense of humour as well. Haven't you seen "It Couldn't Happen Here" ??? Its very reminisent of that.
what a performance tonight, should I react or turn off the light ?

Hillarious ! and hopefully there will be a lot of rotation for this one..

I'm still not sure why they stuck with mostly the VERY era..considering the NIGHTLIFE visuals, were just waiting for a parody, but I quite liked the ending..

N&C interjecting throughout would have turned it into another Ab Fab type video..

Ofcourse not sure..what impact it could have on the singles chart in general..but lets see..I'm definetly more enthused now
Left to my own devices, I probably would...

You are right to point out that danii didn't "get it", but nevertheless, neither will anyone outside of the UK, Ireland, and Australia (and possibly Canada). If you remove any knowledge of Little Britain, the video makes no sense at all. I cannot imagine it getting ANY playtime in continental Europe, but I'm sure they thought of that ahead of time. I don't mean this as a critisism of the video per se (although, it does make it seem like PSB only had two songs worthy of parody - not they they weren't parodies to begin with!)

I don't know if technologies and make up would do any better, dannii.

I just can repeat myself that I quite like it but since I'm a fan of Little Britain it's no real surprise.

Chris, with you being from Germany as well I wonder how you know about Little Britain. Is it on TV here somewhere?

Excellent, very good video. Thanks for the download on your website Dave.

Of course watching the video, it helps to have an understanding of the scenes in Go West and Can You Forgive Her and that makes the super low-tech re-creations even funnier.

Looking forward to seeing the high quality broadcast version tonight.

No it's not on German TV but one of my LK's in school was English and somebody recommended it to me. Finally, I got my hands on the double DVD of the first season and it's brilliant stuff. There are quite a few people in Germany who know about Little Britain so don't worry. ;)

I have no idea how neither me nor any of my friends have ever heard about Little Britain. I had English as an LK as well and I finished school only three years ago, so it's not like I'm old or something :wink:.
Anyway, how did the video leak? I thought the premier was tonight.

I don't like it very much though it is funny. "Very" "It Couldn't Happen Here". I love the last minute.
