This is an article by the Star Online, a newspaper in Wilmington, North Carolina. Wilmington is where Little Britain USA is being filmed. According to an interview with the director, Little Britain USA has finished shooting.
When Little Britain creators decided to bring the cult BBC sketch comedy series across the pond, they didn't go to New York or L.A. They came to Wilmington.
The American version, Little Britain USA, wrapped Friday after shooting six episodes here.
"Wilmington was a really good choice not only because they have very competent, professional crews, but also it has totally different looks in different parts of the city," said producer Larry Brezner during a break on location off River Road. "Each (sketch) is a totally different look and each is supposed to look like a totally different part of the country, and Wilmington offers (that) like no other city."
Brezner is something of a comedy legend in the industry. He's represented scores of comics and still works with Robin Williams and Billy Crystal. His works include Throw Momma From the Train and Good Morning, Vietnam.

Sarah Bartholomew visited the comedian's home, breaking a bail condition to leave the comedian alone.
Appearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court for sentencing after stalking Walliams, she admitted visiting the star's Hampstead home.
District judge Ian Baker said the admission was "bizarre" and ordered the woman to undergo psychiatric reports.
Ms Bartholomew has already admitted sending the star emails and love poems and had brought gifts to Walliams's house – just 48 hours after a court ordered her to stay away.
The judge said he could not rule out a prison sentence after seeing the content of the emails.
He added Ms Bartholomew appeared "delusional" and said her actions were "far more serious" than he had originally realised at her first hearing.
The court heard Ms Bartholomew had sent more than 1,000 pages of emails to Mr Walliams, claiming they were in a relationship, and has harassed the star since 2004.
The judge said that after breaking her bail conditions, "all sentencing options remain open"
