Probably a question for the Brits only, but does anyone else remember this?
Me and a guy from work were talking about comedians, and got onto these guys. Made me remember how much I loved that show and how much I regret not taping itā¦
I think my favourites would be Jarvis and History Today. Oh, and M Khan.
Good evening. Once again I am joined by Professor F J Lewis, overitus professor of history at All Soulsā College,Oxford. I understand that some viewers felt that last week we rather skated over the topic of Great Britain 1931 -38, The Austerity years. I can only offer my apologies and pledge that Professor Lewis and myself shall make every endevour to fully explore tonightās topic of discussion, the 1905 Sebastopol Uprising. Professor Lewis, do you feel as many do, that Sebastopol was indeed the birthplace of the Russian Revolution?
See people who talk like this?Thatās you that is. Thatās you talking your best.
I see.
You see girls running like this? Thatās you that is. Thatās how you run. See your bike? Itās a girlās bike
I do not own a bicycle
You do, and itās a girlās one
Well Iād just like to ā¦
Itās for girls. You see those workmansā tents in the road?
I have observed them
Thatās your house. Thatās where you go on holiday. See this? This is my drink. You canāt have none. mmm, yum yum, tasty
It was back in the early 90ās when it was broadcast. I think I must have been about 12, but with a very adult sense of humour.
It was just the funniest comedy sketch show ever. But the BBC havenāt repeated it or released it on video / DVD. Iām kicking myself for not recording them when they were one.

[Cut to Saddam Hussain standing in ruined Iraqi city. Periodically we hear
sounds of gunfire, missiles, bombs, and so on.]
Hussain Hello. Thereās never been a better time to visit Iraq. We have
many thousands of historic buildings, most of them in many thousands of
pieces, ho ho ho. Come on down! See the many large pictures of me!
The Iraqi people will give you the friendliest welcome you will get
anywhere, particularly if you are an invading army.
CAPTIONS and VOICE OVER: āWhy not visit Iraq? Oh, and PS. If you could bring
some weapons-grade plutonium with you, that would be nice.ā
Punt: Horse racing is a sport unique in the fact that it exists entirely and solely for the purposes of betting. Because when you think about it, take away the betting, and what have you got?
[Cut to race track with a race in progress]
Announcer Theyāre under starters orders and theyāre away, and straight into the lead goes a horse! Followed by another horse and lots of horses all running very fast!
And here comes a horse overtaking another horse and thereās a brown one, followed by a grey one, and thereās a black one with a white bit, and theyāre all running along, and one of themās going into the lead, and this is tremendously exciting because at the end weāre gonna know which of these twelve horses can run faster than the others, and the crowd is cheering on the big horse theyād love to win for the sake of the horseās own personal esteem, and as they come into the final straight the crowd is shouting, āCome on! Letās see the physical limit to which equine quadrupeds can go!ā So as they come to the line, its the grey one from the one with the white bit and the brown one and the winner goes forward to the semi-finals where he meets an antelope, a leopard and a caribou.
Iām kicking myself for not recording them when they were one.
