The BBC has returned Little Britain to iPlayer after its creators made edits to “better reflect the changes in the cultural landscape”. The show first aired in the UK 20 years ago.
The comedy series from Matt Lucas and David Walliams was removed from various services including Netflix and BritBox in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. It had faced criticism because of the use of blackface make-up in some sketches.
A BBC spokesman said: “Little Britain has been made available to fans on BBC iPlayer following edits made to the series by Matt and David that better reflect the changes in the cultural landscape over the last 20 years since the show was first made.”
