Another particular favourite of mine was where Herr Flick was going to use Helga to seduce Rene to extract information. The following scene went sort of like this.

*Herr Flick is in his lair, practising his violin. Von Smallhousen brings in Helga, who wearing a fur trimmed full length leather coat.
Herr Flick: Ah, Von Smallhousen, is Helga wearing the special clothes?
Von Smallhousen: I can't tell you what she's wearing, but I can tell you what effect it had on me...."Wheeeeeeeheeeeheeeeeaaaao!"
Her Flick: Good, now get out.
*Von Smallhousen leaves*
Her Flick: Right then Helga, just stand here and go through the routine you'll use with Rene while I practice my Violin.
*Her Flick starts playing his violin...Helga slowly lowers the top of her coat revealing that she's not wearing anything underneath...Flick's playing becomes erratic...*
Herr Flick: Three... Swastikas!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOAAAAAAAHAAAAA!!!!!!!

Did anyone see that Big Impression special last night? I liked the Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne in a Christmas Carol!

[Reply #203 on:]

Yeah I thought that was Great I also like them doing Little Mo and Billy from Eastenders

[Reply #204 on:]

I think Dead Ringers do a better Ozzy, but it was all very good. What he did particularily well was Basil Fawlty's nervous laugh. 

[Reply #205 on:]

That was cool  and Manuel

[Reply #206 on:]

The corportation of both Q and Bond with Fawlty Towers and Bazil Fawlty was genious!

Ab Fab is on in an hours time on BBC1.

[Reply #209 on:]

Having watched "The Best Of HIGNFY" last night, just reminded me what a brillant show it is, the video (which I recommend highly) has all of the bit from all of the best shows:

Every Episode with Boris Johnson (as team-member)
The "Tub Of Lard" Episode
The Hamiltons
Ian does Jimmy Somerville
Angus the week after after the prostitute
(and my personal all-time favourite) Paula Yates

Soooo good.

[Reply #210 on:]

Is it me or is the new season of 2DTV a lot less funnier than the last? some of the sketches are that weak that I'm sat there thinking, "When will this end?"

[Reply #211 on:]

They need more bush!

[Reply #212 on:]

This whole sock thing is way beond lame now, they need to come up with something new

[Reply #213 on:]

Ab Fab last night was so very funny. Great performance from Whoopi Goldberg. She was so very funny when she marries Edina and Patsy

[Reply #214 on:]

Just been watching men behaving badly.
[gary]Bed, Beds for sleepy people, lets get a kebab and go to a disco[/gary]

Brilliant episode

[Reply #215 on:]

  The office series two was, in my opinion, sublime.  I have series one on DVD, and I'm going to get series two when it comes out as well.

[Reply #218 on:]

I saw bits of it, but I never actually saw a full epsiode. Heard it's meant to be sound though.

Anyone watch The New Statesman?
Alan B'Stard's charactor is fuckin' genious. Then again whaddaya expect from Rik Mayal.

[Reply #219 on:]

It's not on in Blighty any more either. I only saw a couple of episodes, it looked quite good although the housekeeper woman was a bit annoying.

Which I'm watching right now.  Classic.

Favourite episode, "Nasty".

"Have we got a video?"

[Reply #224 on:]

i dont want to insult anyone but "the sketch show" is really really bad

[Reply #225 on:]

It's not particularly excellent, but it's still a lot better than lots of crap on TV.

my favourite ep of the young ones would have to be 'bomb'

"thanks for telling me about the new hole guuyyys."

Comic Relief is coming soon  I can't wait

[Reply #228 on:]

Comic Relief is ok i suppose, but it's much better then Children in Need, mainly because it's bi-annual. But how can anyone resist the red-noses? I can't remember a year without them!

BBC 3 launched a couple of days ago, although it's BBC Choice it does have a few new comidies, i haven't seen them yet though.

To be honest they're all good, except possibly "Demolition"  (the first one), as they were just rolling out the characters, and Neils was slightly different.

It's only a small quibble though, as the rest of it is excellent.

"Bambi" (the Univsersity Challenge episode) is a close second.  Here's a quote from "Bambi":

Neil: I was just remembering that bit, when you lost lost in the snow.

Vyvyan: Yeah, I loved the bit when you shoved a drill in the Virgin Otter's face.

Neil: That wasn't in "Bambi", Vyvyan.

Vyvyan: It was in the sequel, Neil, "Bambi Goes Crazy-Ape-Bonkers With His Drill And Set"

[Reply #230 on:]

^^

Neil - Is that true Bambi, did you do a Disney nasty? 

I love The Young Ones. I've got almost every episode on video. But I gotta say, the university challenge one is one of my favourites. Also the one where they're bored

BBC3 launched a new animated sketch show called 'Monkey Dust' on Sunday - very dark, very bleak, very funny.

"Nasty", "Bambi" and "Sick" are my favourites.

Now, it's about time we gave credit to the underrated Young One's follow-up: "Filthy, Rich and Catflap".

I have the only season on video, and I love it.

[Reply #233 on:]

I like AB fab, Smack the Pony, Red Dwarf and the Yong ones

I saw that, it was definately freaky, i mean the guy committing suicide over his son and the paedophile (that's wrong isn't it).

I saw Burn It last night, that was quite good. (Oh, that's a drama, wrong thread!).

[Reply #235 on:]

bit disappointed with BBC Three's comedy output so far.  Monkey Dust is only going to attract small audiences due to the timeslot and as for Swiss Toni ...
this is the reason sketches should remain sketches.

Well Comic Relief is on Tonight and I am definitely going to watch it. For the Americans that dosen't know what Comic Relief is about, I will tell you.

Comic Relief is a charity tv event that all the British and some times American TV comedians get together to raise money for the people in Africa who has no food, and the medicines they need to stay alive. Also They raise the money for around the world for the pepole in need.

Comic Relief has been doing this event since the early 80's that I can remember I also get as much money I can to take to the bank and say that this is for Comic Relief

Tonight's one look like it's going to be good. I saw the add to it with my dad, Eastender spoof looks kind of good.

Show spoiler

Saw the clip where Anthony Truman was in the kitchen with Nan Moe and it looks like they starting to embrace with a kiss 

 

Also there a spoof of the Michael Jackson interview with Lenny Herny as MJ and Rowan Atkison is that interviewer (Forgot his name).

[Reply #237 on:]

The best thing on the tele at the mo is Comic Relief. The amount of money we have made so far is over 14 million....mabe even 15 million!
