Murphy remembers Lucas and Walliams being “completely charming” and possessed of an encyclopaedic knowledge of TV. “They were serious, really ambitious for the show. Some people are tentative and they really weren’t… I think at the time, other people with less experience had had series on BBC Two. And so they were a little bit like, ‘Well, when’s it going to be our turn?’” The actual Y.M.C.A, were initially unhappy with the Village People using their name in their song and attempted to sue the group, reportedly because executives took exception to group’s overwhelmingly gay following at that point. The suit was eventually settled out of court.

Eddie, who chose to relocate from London to the countryside with his husband, has found little difference in the quality of life between the city or countryside. “We chose to leave London because it was so expensive and was giving me a lot of anxiety, but it feels like the countryside is only nice if you’re white and straight. My husband and I lived in Wiltshire for a while and people would legitimately stare at us whilst we were out and about.” Metronormativity places urban environments on a pedestal, but, on examination, LGBTQ+ people experience discrimination, prejudice, and exclusion in cities and rural spaces alike. Rural environments are not inherently harmful to LGBTQ+ people in the same way that urban environments are not inherently welcoming by sheer virtue of having greater population density and greater buildings.

The Only Gay in the village

In every single one of his appearances, Dafydd Thomas will persistently claim that he is "The Only Gay in the Village". This was altered to "The Only Gay on Campus" in Little Britain USA, and "The Only Gay on the Greek island of Mykonos" in Little Britain Abroad. It must be so hard being the only gay in the village, but not to worry, in our Mens Little Britain Daffyd Thomas Costume, you'll be the most popular person at the party! Inspired by the hit TV show Little Britain, it’ll give you everything you need to transform into this hilarious character. UKTV Gold controller John Keeling said: "This poll shows that the Brits are best when it comes to coining memorable, funny catchphrases. Stuart Murphy was the controller of BBC3 when the channel launched in 2003. Little Britain on the radio had taken almost exactly the form it would take on TV, and Murphy had listened to a few sketches. He was persuaded to make a pilot, and it worked brilliantly on screen – its catchphrases made it “the perfect show to launch a channel with”.

Daffyd - The only gay in the village.

David and Matt have not worked together since their airport satire series Come Fly With Me in 2010, and while BBC commissioned a second series, David confirmed in 2013 there were no future episodes in the pipeline. Whilst Dafydd can be shown to be friendly and civil at times, he loses his temper and gets angry quite frequently. He is also known to be very dramatic especially about his sexuality. Dafydd, of course, likes to put emphasis on his homosexuality and will bring it up at any opportunity. Despite this, Dafydd does not like to socialise with gay people, doesn't catch on when people are gay or get involved in homosexual activities. Daffyd constantly attempts to draw attention to himself, even when the situation at hand has absolutely nothing to do with him. Is Furst still proud of Little Britain? “I know we can be a bit narky about things… Is it representative of the world we live in now? No. Should it be? No. But at the time, my God, to be part of it was fantastic. So yeah, of course, super-proud.”
