'Little Britain' creators want complaints

The creators of cult sketch show Little Britain, Matt Lucas and David Walliams are slightly disgruntled at the fact that no-one is complaining about their show.
TV watchdog Ofcom say that they have never received a single complaint about the show, despite its controversial content. The show features bigoted racist and homophobic members of the Women's Institute who throw upon whomever they can, a breast-suckling thirty-something and a phoney disabled person, yet everybody seems to accept it with open arms.
David Walliams told the Sun: "We have been dying to get complaints, but unfortunately we don't.
"I think it's quite hard to shock people now. We've seen people having sex on telly and everything.
"I still haven't found anyone who's actually offended by the show.
"Brits love their comedy edgy. We love really rude humour in this country."
Lucas added: "Kids love rudeness, old people love rudeness, people our age love rudeness - so where are all the people who don't like it?
"I'm not sure they exist any more."
