An edited version of Little Britain returns to iPlayer

The BBC says Little Britain is back on iPlayer after being edited by creators Matt Lucas and David Walliams to "better reflect the changes in the cultural landscape".

It first aired 20 years ago.

The comedy was removed from streaming services in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

It faced criticism because of the use of blackface in some sketches.
