Come Fly With Me, 2010
The hugely anticipated follow up to Little Britain. Come Fly With Me was the second outing for comedy duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
The series was a send up of the airport and airline documentaries that were popular at the time.
Despite it’s popularity there was only one series running for six episodes. The BBC announced that it had commissioned a second series but David Walliams confirmed in January of 2013 that there would not be a second series.
Come Fly With Me would be the last time to date that Lucas and Walliams would work together.
Sadly it’s another one of those shows that doesn’t now appear on the repeat schedules or major streaming services after the black lives matter campaign and concern about
Summary
Come Fly With Me was a ‘mockumentary’ flowing the comings and goings at London Stagnated Airport and three fictional airlines:FlyLo (a low cost Airline), Our Lady Air (an Irish low cost airline) and Great British Air (a major international British airline).
Lucas and Walliams portray many of the focal airline and airport staff, as well as some passengers, whose comments and experiences are featured in one or more of the series episodes in the style of a “fly on the wall documentary”.
