Little Britain video game announced

By Emma Boyes, GameSpot UKPosted Nov 8, 2006 4:01 pm PT

Blast Entertainment to publish game based on the hit TV comedy series.

Various characters from the show.

"Computer says yes" for cult comedy Little Britain--a game version of the British sketch comedy show will be coming to the PlayStation 2 and PC in January 2007, with a PSP version following shortly afterward.

The game will simulate an episode of the BBC show, with gamers having to complete minigame challenges to move on to the next skit and ultimately the end credits. The eight minigames feature Little Britain characters Lou and Andy, chav Vicky Pollard, Mr. Mann, transvestites Emily and Florence, fat fighter Marjorie Dawes, Daffyd Thomas (the "only gay in the village"), Judy and Maggie, and Letty.

The characters have been modelled in 3D and animated by hand, and voices for the game will be provided by the creators and main stars of the show, Matt Lucas and David Walliams. The pair have been recording the voices this week, a Blast spokesperson told GameSpot, and Walliams has also been working on the game's script.

Little Britain was previously a radio series before debuting on BBC Three in 2003. There have been three seasons of the show so far, and there will be a tour of Australia in 2007. A fourth series is also planned for autumn 2007, and an American version on HBO is in the works.

    comparing little britain with 24 is a bit strange, think the rather old monty python game is a better comparison - i love little britain on tv, but a computer game? i don't like it, i suppose...

    Just because 24:The Game did good,doesn't mean that other TV series games will do too...just another piece o'junk

    I can't believe this is actually happening..... OK, Little Britain had its moments to begin with. But a Computer Game?!?!? A COMPUTER GAME?!?!? No... a thousand times, NO.

    ...because American remakes of British shows have worked sooooo well in the past... /sarcasm
    ...a fourth series? Just let it go already!!! So few tv shows can make it to a fourth series and still please fans. Better to have left on a high note then to grind it to dust...
    Is that 8 - mini games in total? So even if by some amazing stoke of comic meets gaming genius this game turns out good there is hardly anything to it.

    Hang on, a party game on the PC?!?

    Has that ever been done succesfully?

    As much as i love little Britain (bar series 3), one cant help but feel this will be utter b*****ks, with catch phrase dependant scripting and repetitive gameplay.
    Then again, as a party game, it might work. or, as i suspect, it'll blow, but sell well to kids, in the traditional popular franchise manner (usually associated more with movies, as i'm sure you're all aware)
