Matt Lucas and David Walliams have returned to our screens recently with their new series, Come Fly with Me. But it was their unforgettable sketch series Little Britain that first captured the public imagination and spawned a thousand impressions and fancy dress costumes in schools and workplaces around the country. This week we present our guide to some of the major characters of the series, and how to pay homage to them by way of Little Britain fancy dress.

Vicky Pollard - Vile, obnoxious and often incomprehensible, Vicky Pollard is a send up of teenagers in modern Britain. For your fancy dress costume you will need one ill-fitting track-suit in bright pink, equally garish nail polish and hair scraped back into a Croydon facelift. Upon arriving at the party and asked if you have brought a bottle, say something like, “yeah but no but yeah but no, I was gonna but then Sharise called, an’ she’s cheatin’ on er’ boyfriend with that Matt from Busted…”

Daffyd – To be the ‘only gay at the party’, you will need a fancy dress outfit made of the tightest of tight rubber, accentuating your paunch (either real or fake). Then start practicing on your welsh accent.

Bubbles Devere - A fat suit is definitely required for taking off this monstrosity of a woman. Over the top lipstick and an equally over the top posh accent also comes part and parcel of this fancy dress costume.

Marjorie Dawes – The terrifying Marjorie is leader of the local chapter of ‘fat fighters’, but is certainly some considerable way from her own ideal weight. A short blonde wig, chunky earrings, a suit and an undeserved air of superiority will enable you to pull off this fancy dress number.
