It typifies *everything* about the SE London/Essex genre of "Council House" slappers. she's very well spoken in real life apparently. As are many performers outside their chosen act.

I'd actually say she probably owed more to The Fast Show (and to a lesser extent, Harry Enfield), than Little Britain who, if she's ripping off other comedians, the so are they, when viewed next to these two examples. The point is, I'd not say either of them were 'ripping' anyone off - they're merely using a similar format to their predecessors.
I caught summat on the tele last night on which the two chaps who do Little Britain were being interviewed. They actually said they owed a lot of their show to Harry Enfield and The Fast Show.
