THE comedians behind Little Britain are the subject of a documentary on their long search for success and the price it came with.
New Heroes of Comedy looks at the past, present and future of Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
Success for the middle-class suburban pair only came after years of obscurity and failure.
But with the popularity of Little Britain came a backlash as they were accused of homophobia, sexism and size-ism and — even worse — selling out by rival comedians.
V WALLIAMS AND LUCAS: NEW HEROES OF COMEDY, Channel 4, Friday, 9pm.
