Ting Tong Macadangdang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ting Tong Macadangdang is a fictional character in Little Britain, played by Matt Lucas. She first appeared in series 3.

Ting Tong is a mail-order bride from Thailand, ordered by a man named Dudley Punt. However, she looked nothing like her photo, which was of a young, slim and attractive lady who is certainly not Ting Tong. She has admitted to being from Tooting in London (when Dudley interrogates her about knowing so much about British history) and also being a lady-boy whose real name is Tong Ting (Dudley caught her urinating standing up). For sex, Dudley lets her stay.

In the middle of series 3, she hides her mother in the kitchen cabinet and they both do the PWEASE MR DUDWEY! routine and he lets them stay.

The Ting Tong sketches are unique in Little Britain in that there is a story advancement or revelation in every sketch. At the end of the third series, Ting Tong turns Dudley's home into a Thai restaurant, proving that their relationship was a scam. Nevertheless, she appeared in the Little Britain live stage show, in which she visited Dudley in hospital and revealed that she had "invited" her entire family to stay at their house ("Only for a couple of years").

Ting Tong is the only truly racist stereotype in Little Britain.
