a good chart position?.

I know it is a difficult question but I'm not English, so I don't know how famous the characters of "Little Britain" are in uk.

It's probably the most talked about t.v program. The tour sells out within seconds. I'd say 95 % of people like it, it's that popular.

Isn'it famous at the european scale now ? The DVDs are available in Belgium and the first season already broadcasted ...kind of popular here too I would assume.

At least this would help the video to be broadcasted...but if the song is crap it won't make a difference...

they don't will help them much! But all in all - it should be a nice idea for a video...!

It will help. High profile video's help singles no end. Just a few video's of late that helped a single perform way beyond what was expected.Amarillo - Tony Christe, Call on Me - Eric Prydz and a video i've just seen again, Boogie Pimps - Need somebody to Love.

who cares? listen to the music and stop worrying about the charts. even james flamin' blunt made it to the top spot. charts mean zilch.

The video with them should help for sure - as long as the song is good!

Sorry, thats wrong. The charts mean everything if you expect PSB to carry on making expensive albums. The single charts are also the launch pad for the album, so they are very important.

Little Britain has a massive following here in Australia too - so hopefully this will get the boys noticed a little more (seeing that their last chart hit here was "Se a vida e" which went top20)

Yeah, I think so

Anything with/that's a gimmick usually does well, look at the Crazy Frog and t.A.T.u.'s lesbian kiss in All The Things She Said or Chico, who's at number 1 now

lol

I definitely think it'll help here in the States. Little Britain has become a cult hit here. And, if the resulting video / song get enough attention, US radio might even play it -- something they only half heartedly did with Home & Dry.

My advice: Pull out all the stops, Boys. The age of Irony is dead. Satire is King.

..and if they play Lou & Andy .. I'm With Stupid seems like the perfect choice!
