Synopsis
There's something special in the air.
From flight crew to check-in, and from paparazzi to passengers, Matt Lucas and David Walliams play almost 50 characters in a gloriously magnificent mock-documentary set in an airport terminal.
In this eagerly anticipated return to television screens since achieving worldwide success with Little Britain, Matt and David now turn their attention to the people who work and pass through airports.
Among their creations are Omar, the owner of Flylo (Britain's eighth favourite low cost airline) and Flylo's check in girls, Melody and Keeley. We also meet Mickey and Buster, the airport's resident photographers, and Precious Little, the world's laziest coffee kiosk lady.
Also featured are the snobby staff of the country's most prestigious airline, Great British Air.
The two stars draw on every aspect of airport life to create an amazing array of richly comic characters, supported by award-winning costume and make-up teams and shot on location at Britain's airports.
