Come Fly with Me is a fly in the wall mockumentary created and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams. It is narrated by Lindsay Duncan in a straightforward manner.
It is a parody of the the 'fly on the wall' airline shows that have been common in UK television for the last 15 years on all the television channels.
The characters that Walliams and Lucas portray are very good send-ups of the airport and airline figures that appear in these types of shows as well as some passengers.
The series is less cruel and over the top than Little Britain. The best characters for me was Omar Baba the owner of Fly Lo, the low cost airline. He is obviously modelled on Stelios, founder of EasyJet.
Other memorable characters were Taaj Manzoor the mouthy ground crew worker, Ian Foot the racist Immigration officer and Precious the coffee shop worker who always had to close the kiosk because of unforeseen circumstances.
The series was a big hit on the BBC. The problem as the series went on was that many of the characters were just one note with always the same punchline.
