Trivia

Although seemingly an Arab character, Omar Baba is somewhat based on the Greek Cypriot entrepreneur Stelios Haji-Ioannou, founder of budget airline EasyJet. His appearance is similar to Stelios (balding, overweight, monobrow) and one of the jokes satirizes the fact his shipping magnate father gave him £30 million to start his business empire. Omar's strategy of cutting corners to provide low cost flights satirizes the business practices that European budget airlines such as Ryanair have been found guilty of and the name of his airline FlyLo is a takeoff of Flybe (it uses the same font in its logo).

User Reviews

AMAZINGLY FUNNY!

There are great shows available on Netflix, and I must say this is probably the funniest! The only problem is there are only six episodes. David Walliams and Matt Lucas are brilliant playing pretty much all major roles. The hilarity of the acting and straightforwardness of the narrator make for a great cometic shoe. You must watch this show!
