fun character hard-work
It can be difficult to be subtle and not cartoony in prosthetics. But when you see characters like Bubbles and Desiree from 'Little Britain' on screen, it makes all the hard work worth it. It's such fun watching those transformations.
fun years healthy
My favourite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London's Lexington Street. It's a little vegetarian restaurant and is really fun and healthy, too. It was the first place I went to in London and really liked. That was 20 years ago, and it is still my favourite.
thinking funny-things trying
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
fun swimming endurance
When you are doing endurance swimming you just need to take in as many carbs as possible to put on as much weight as you can. Basically you can eat whatever you want, which can be quite fun. Everything is guilt-free.
britain british-actor characters knows people
People feel they know me because of my Little Britain characters - But I'm not a Little Britain character. No one knows what I'm really like.
comedy element kids meant naughty watch
I was probably about 12 and The Young Ones wasn't meant for 12-year-olds, but there's always that element in kids where they want to watch the naughty comedy that's not for them.
audience britain hope
We hope the Little Britain audience who like us will come with us on that journey.
school watching
When I was at school I was watching The Young Ones,
characters lots series
We're going to make another series with lots of new characters and old characters together.
eight two lunch
I've done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you're recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours. But with 'Britain's Got Talent,' you're on camera for eight hours, with a large theatre audience watching - and in between you're being filmed for ITV2 as you eat your lunch.
danger bigger cases
It's easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I've always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.
people satire social
Social satire has been around since people have been around.
light chocolate want
When I want comfort food, I buy Maltesers. I like all chocolates, but especially those. You can eat them, and because they're so light, you can convince yourself that they are not actually that fattening.
self-confidence tvs internet
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
