Robbie Williams and Little Britain

This video features David Walliams and Matt Lucas, the actors responsible for the comic series "Little Britain", with Robbie Williams, the famous pop star. It was broadcast in a telethon* for the charity "Comic Relief", an organisation which tries to help people in need in Britain and abroad by raising money through comic shows. In the video, Robbie Williams enters a shop which is run by two familiar characters in "Little Britain", Emily and Florence (in fact two men dressed as women). In the series, Emily and Florence's adventures criticize discrimination and hipocrisy towards gay people, always with humour and a touch of irony.

I hope you enjoy the video.





*Telethon: A compound word, made up of Television + marathon. A telethon is an event broadcast on television that lasts many hours or even days, the purpose of which is to raise money for a charitable, political, or other allegedly worthy cause.
