Little Britain, a UK comedy show, has been removed from Netflix and the BBC over the use of blackface.
The sketch comedy show debuted in 2003 and starred Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Little Britain USA debuted in 2008. Walliams played a recurring character, Desiree DeVere, on the show, where he wore blackface.
