And it's an inspired idea to send up programmes like Airport that in the 90s were the pioneers for the reality TV craze that dominates British TV these days. The stewardess that Simon had an affair with acts as cabin crew on Jackie and Simon's latest flight. Battle re enactors Colin and Gavin are furious with Francoise when they are not allowed to bring their swords to a reenactment of the Battle of Agincourt, and baggage handler John believes he has psychic powers. When kids Alice and Lucy hit it off, Paul and Emma are suddenly thrown together — and they hit it off, too. Simon (Lucas) and Jackie Trent (Walliams) – A husband and wife pilot team, flying for Great British Air.

Before you go out and watch the show, however, be aware that the comedy team's humor is often crude and adult--though "Come Fly With Me" is less graphic and adult than "Little Britain".Ashamed to say this but this show is probably only really funny if you've seen the 'fly on the wall' shows that they parody. The fact that they do play these characters is in fact the opposite of racist – it's inclusive and treats types of Britons in the same manner irrespective of skin colour. Sure, this might not just be in the liking for everyone, as British humor can be somewhat of an acquired taste.

Come Fly With Me: fasten your seatbelts" The Daily Telegraph, 20 December 2010 Walliams cocks a blatant snook at easyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou through his flamboyantly asinine, money-raking turn as low-budget airline boss Omar Baba of FlyLo. It's amazing how many characters the boys portray in the show, and I was nearly at the last episode before I realized a few of them--like Precious Little and Omar Baba--weren't played by other actors. Characters included foreign FlyLo owner Omar Baba, lazy coffee kiosk manager Precious possibly my favourite character), passenger liaison officer Moses Beacon, chief immigration officer Ian Foot, ground crew member Taaj Manzoor, camp Irish steward Fearghal O'Farrell, holiday makers Peter and Judith, and there were many more besides, all making us laugh with mildly racist material, disgusting stuff, and well written dialogue. Aside from this, you need look no further that the character of the immigration officer Ian Foot to understand what the creators really think of such narrow-minded thinking.It saves money by flying to airports further away from the actual city centre, such as landing a flight to Barcelona in Ireland.

Precious Little closes her stall early claiming that there are no paper cups, and spends the day playing the fruit machines with petty cash. In January 2013, Walliams confirmed that a second series would not air, stating that Lucas did not wish to continue the show. Police dog handler Steve Downes reveals the history of his previous dogs, that usually ended up with them going into rehab with drug addictions. The only complaint I have about this show is that I felt the husband and wife pilots "Jackie and Simon" were a bit over used.Doctor Who viewers go time travelling: 'Astronaut' episode is the most recorded TV show of all time". Geri Halliwell (herself) - whose photo resident paparazzi Mickey and Buster are waiting to take as she disembarks a plane, only to miss the shot as they're too busy comparing the virtues of each of the Spice Girls to camera. From check-in staff to cabin crew, from pilots to paparazzi, and from low-cost airline owners to their passengers, all human life is here - and all played by Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
