    Little Britain’s Matt Lucas says ‘only gay in the village’ was meant to be a ‘celebration’ of homosexual people

    Comedian and performer Matt Lucas has spoken out about his controversial Brief Britain character Dafydd Thomas, better famous as ‘the only gay in the village’.

    Matt said he knows the personality has been used as a tool to bully juvenile gay people, but insists that was not the show’s intention.

    ‘I have had people who had ‘you are the only gay in the village’ said to them and to us it was meant to be a celebration,’ he told Richard Herring’s RHLSTP podcast.

    ‘But people were labelled ‘the only same-sex attracted in the village’ at school. It was meant as entertainment, not to make young queer people sad.’

    The Welsh character was eminent for his brief shorts and lycra fetish costumes, as well as for his usual direct of a vodka and coke at the quiet local pub.

    Since the reveal ended in 2005, the sketch has gained a lot of criticism for its less than complimentary portrayal of gay men.

    Myfanwy: So, how did the audition go?

    Daffyd: It was a complete waste of time, the director said he couldn't notice me as Hamlet. I'm sorry Myfanwy, but the Llandewi Breffi Amateur Dramatics Society is completely homophobist.

    Myfanwy: Oh well, what audition speech did you do?

    Daffyd: It's Raining Men by the Weather Girls.

    Llanddewi Brefi - only gay in the village

    Llanddewi Brefi was made famous by the BBC television series Little Britain where the character Daffyd Thomas (the only gay in the village played by Matt Lucas) lived.

    Llanddewi Bref parish church of St David dates from the 12th century, but the site connected with religious worship since  the sixth century, when it is said that the small hill upon which the church stands marks the spot where the ground was miraculously raised up under St David so that he could be seen & heard at the synod .

    There is a non-conformist chapel, two pubs and one village shop. The village and the surrounding area are largely Welsh-speaking and the local economy is dominated by sheep and dairy farming.

    In 1977 the village was the scene of one of the world's biggest ever raids involving the drug LSD. Over 6 million tabs of the drug were seized as part of Operation Julie on 26 March of that year.
