Come Fly with Me is a British television mockumentary series that aired on BBC America from 2010 to 2011. It was created by and starred comedians David Walliams and Matt Lucas, who are known for their work in the sketch comedy show Little Britain. The show revolves around a fictional airport called the Great British Air, and follows the lives of both the passengers and the staff who work there. Walliams and Lucas play a variety of characters, including airport employees, airline pilots, and travelers from different countries.

Throughout each episode, viewers are taken on a tour of the airport and shown the various departments and services available to travelers. The show often pokes fun at the quirks and idiosyncrasies of different cultures through its portrayal of foreign travelers.

One of the standout characters is Taaj Manzoor, played by Lucas, who is a customer service representative for the airport. Taaj is often seen trying to help passengers with their problems, but his thick accent and poor communication skills lead to misunderstandings and comedic situations.

Another memorable character is Precious Little, played by Walliams, who is a crafty airline owner who is always looking for ways to cut corners and save money. Precious’s schemes often backfire, but she never gives up trying to outsmart her competitors.

Some of the other recurring characters include Omar Baba, an Arab airline owner who is constantly trying to outdo Precious; Melody and Keeley, two air hostesses who are more interested in their love lives than in helping passengers; and Mickey and Buster, two baggage handlers who are always looking for ways to goof off on the job.

Come Fly with Me is notable for its use of prosthetics and makeup to transform Walliams and Lucas into a wide variety of characters. The attention to detail in the costumes and makeup is truly impressive, and the actors’ commitment to their roles is evident in every scene.

The show was also praised for its clever writing and satirical take on the air travel industry. The humor is often irreverent and sometimes even dark, but it is always hilarious.

In addition to skewering cultural stereotypes and airport employees, the show also takes aim at various aspects of modern air travel, including security checkpoints, baggage handling, and in-flight meals. It’s a show that will have you laughing out loud while also questioning the many absurdities of air travel.

Overall, Come Fly with Me is a fun and entertaining show that’s perfect for anyone who loves a good laugh. The comedic genius of Walliams and Lucas is on full display, and their commitment to the ridiculous characters they portray is truly impressive. If you’re looking for a lighthearted comedy that will take you on a wild ride through the world of air travel, this is definitely a show worth checking out.
