Is this not one of the greatest shows ever made?
What a perfect combination of talent and writing. Caught some repeats the other night - I can remember pissing myself laughing the first time I saw the gramophone sketch.

Rowan Atkinson in an ape suit, classic. And what great songs they did, All Out Superpower Confrontation, Gob On You.:D

Rowan's speech to the Conservative Party Conference is one of my favourites. It's spot on.
And one which hasn't seen the light of day for ages... "Ayatollah, Don't come any closer".

That scene when Pamela rips open her blouse had quite a profound effect on me at the time. I was only 12.
Memorable Sketches...
1 = Racist policeman getting a dressing down
2 = The Hi Fi shop
3 = I like trucking song
This is it guys - happy days

Constable Savage where are you in these troubled times.
Knowing someone who was in Special Branch I would say that sketch is very realistic.:D
"Wild! I was absolutely LIVID!"
I still can't see a cup cake without thinking "crumbly candy bars".
Wahey !
"Put your head between them and go bbl bbl bbl with American Express".
I like trucking, I like trucking, I like trucking and I like to truck!

The only outcry you'd get is probably from the Tories. They were the butt of many of the jokes, as they were the party in power when it first aired.
and That's Life ("This has absoultely nothing to do with us").
Pamela actually gets them completely out in a sketch in series 3. She's in the bath with Jacques Cousteau and is topless :cool:
Not that I'm obsessed with these kind of things
PLEASE PLEASE post a link so we can see this!!!!
Yes, that's the sketch I remembered, although the American Express one was almost as good.
"People buy my latest hits, 'cause they liked my latex tits..."
The "Failed in Wales" sketch is hilarious
"Laid in Wales" and "Made from wales" were great too.
I think my favourite song of theirs was "I Believe".
Having downloaded a couple of series from a torrent site the DVDs covers the best bits from the show. Sketches used to get repeated in different shows and although there are a couple of good sketches not on the DVD by and large you're not missing much.
Demis Rousos, Doner Kebabs. The Rubbery lumps in Japanese lunches. Lard. The seats in minicabs.
And its "Kinda Lingers" not linders, of course I've no idea why its so rude
There are many classic sketches- the BBC 2 continuity, drunken darts, Two Ninnies (and I like that despite enjoying The Two Ronnies), I Like Trucking, Super Doopa, Question Time, Deaf Telephone....
I have the NTNOCN LP (very old) it has a few scratches one of which is at the end of the American Express scene so it sounds like this: Would you like to rub my tits too......tits too....tits too...tits too and so on. You couldn't edit it better if you tried.
