Dennis Waterman Little Britain
Dennis Waterman has been caricatured by David Walliams in the radio and TV comedy series Little Britain, in sketches where he visits his agent (played by Matt Lucas) looking for parts. Most of the jokes in these sketches feature Waterman being extremely small, with common objects being made to appear massive in comparison.
The Waterman caricature is offered – but always declines – respectable parts because he is not allowed to star or to “write the theme tune, sing the theme tune” (rendered as “write da feem toon, sing da feem toon”) of the particular production. This running joke is based on the fact that Waterman sang the theme tunes for at least four of the programmes in which he has starred.
