"Little Britain" was the top-20 hit from Second Light, the 1995 album that brought Dreadzone to Virgin Records and remains their most successful release. The whole record set out to celebrate modern multicultural Britain, folding Celtic and Indian music and poetry into the group's dub, electronics and sampling, with the films of Michael Powell and the Festival of Britain era as touchstones, so the title fits the brief.
Tim Bran and Greg Roberts wrote it, Bran mixed it and the band produced, while Donna McKevitt adds viola and Dan Donovan guests on keyboards. The album drew critical acclaim, and John Peel named it his 12th favourite album ever in 1997.
