Can there be a phrase more certain to strike dread into the hearts of all right-thinking people than; "Matt Lucas and David Walliams new series is due to be shown later this year"?If anyone cares apparently Come Fly With Me is set in an airport and centres around the hilarious comings and goings at a budget airline.
So lots of opportunities for those two overgrown public school boys to sneer at working class people again.
And to poke fun at some gayers too, no doubt - almost certainly trolly dollies.
And as it's at an airport, there can be loads of those funny foreign people!
What larks.
Well probably not - if it's anything like Walliams and Lucas's last few desperate outings, it'll have less laughs than a graveyard.
Johnann Hari wasn't the first to point out that Little Britain was comedy founded on "mocking the weakest people in Britain" in his 2005 Independent article; ''Why I Hate Little Britain'.
But he probably said it best.
"Their targets are almost invariably the easiest, cheapest groups to mock: the disabled, poor, elderly, gay or fat. In one fell swoop, they have demolished protections against mocking the weak that took decades to build up."
Enjoy!

I hope it's shit and everyone hates them and they go into hiding and we never hear from either of them ever again.
