UBER CAROL SKETCH:
The credit crunch comes to Little Britain and Carol (David Walliams) is summoned to her boss Dawn’s (Catherine Tate) office. Will Carol keep her job or will Dawn’s computer evaluation of her skills lead to the immortal line “computer says no”?
ELLIE GRACE SKETCH:
Ellie Grace (Matt Lucas) has her friend Candy Marie-Candy (Robbie Williams) to sleepover. Whilst Mom (David Walliams) is cooking breakfast they begin to play a game of ‘I love you more…’ with some interesting results!
On filming the sketch for Comic Relief Robbie said:
It’s hard to say no when asked to take part in a Little Britain sketch for Comic Relief. But I have to admit that dressing up as a small American child in a pretty dress made it all the more appealing.
David Walliams said of Robbie’s performance:
Robbie was absolutely brilliant in the Ellie Grace sketch. He could be a comedian full time if he wanted to. And we have found that the best
way to tempt him back into the spotlight is by putting him in a dress!
Matt Lucas said of Robbie’s performance:
‘I never thought Robbie would do anything funnier than Angels but he has!’
