COME FLY WITH ME


Come Fly with Me is a British mockumentary television comedy series created by and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Narrated by Lindsay Duncan, the series launched on 25 December 2010 on BBC One and BBC One HD. It will air in Australia on Monday nights at 8pm on the Nine network.


A spoof of British documentaries Airport and Airline, the series follows the activity at a fictional airport and three airlines: FlyLo (a low-cost airline), Our Lady Air (an Irish low-cost airline) and Great British Air (a major international British airline). A variety of staff and passengers played by Lucas or Walliams are followed.
