Pretty good this, not cutting the sketches short or anything, as far as I can tell anyway.

Wish I'd paid more attention to it from the start.

Lots are being cut but still lots of interesting stuff that's not usually shown. That Jamaican Dr Who sketch was great


 

A few good ones yeah.

Some woeful jokes from Deayton though - my god.

It was the mention of Dr Who that got you, wasn't it?
 

Well... yes.

I didn't even know this was on. I am very unobservant today.

And it's not even repeated. iPlayer, if you're interested enough.

I will.

I am, I mean.
Whatever.

Yeah, some good ones. Les Dawson/walking piano sketch, Dick Emery and Naked Video. Surprisingly, no Two Ronnies or Python yet. Maybe next week.
 

Yeah, I thought they put a decent level of effort into finding some fairly obscure sketches and that was nice to see. It could have done without Deayton though.
 

A fair amount of stuff I'd never seen which makes it a relevant programme to make. We know the classics - let's just see some funny stuff from way back and becomes a whole new experience.

WTF?

 

I enjoyed it but found it simukltaneously depressing since it reminded me that the current crop of sketch shows are pretty poor compared with the likes of The Fast Show and Not The Nine O'Clock News. Also, it reminded me how good Rowan Atkinson used to be before he apparently gave up comedy to count his money in his mansion.
 

Look for Rowan's standup stuff on Youtube. His 'Indian Restaurant' sketch is superb.
