Discount Bin Reviews: Little Britain Season 1 (DVD)
A few weeks ago, the wife I had a hankering for some Kids in The Hall episodes but couldn’t find any of the DVD sets to buy. What we did find was a very acceptable substitute in Little Britain – also a half-hour sketch comedy show and though it comments more on British culture it […]
