Yes, what an earth is wrong with peeling them if they're that dirty? Better than throwing them away surely. It's not exactly unusual to peel vegetables after all.
Not as good as last week's, but enough laughs and some nice ideas - particularly liked the man in the space-station desperately wanting to crack one off.
"Crazy paving" didn't cut it and was far too long. It was on early in the show too - hope it didn't cause too many people to flick back over to ITV...
I didn't think it was up to the standard of the previous week [the Farmers Market] and I couldn't make out all of the words of the Flanders and Swann song at the end.Is he really playing the piano or just miming?

Probably, they both seem rather talented musically.
I've read that Alexander plays the Piano, Cello and Oboe whilst Ben plays the Guitar and Drums. One of their first acts was in fact as a spoof rock band.
So whilst I don't have a direct quote of Ben playing piano I'm guessing he probably could. :cool:
I'm certainly preferring this series to the last; this years running sketches of the old-school vampires, the talking head couples and "I've forgotten to put the bins out" are far more enjoyable to last series honeymooners and jilted groom.
Although I think that overly honest dad is still my favourite
I laghed out loud yesterday while watching the 3,457th re-run of the James Bond You Only Live Twice, where after Bond leaves the meeting with the Japanes Cheif Executive, the guy looks at his secretary and says.....
'Kill him'
Was this scene the inspiation for A & M's sketches?

As someone should have told Peter Ustinov, and all those 'observational' comedians ....... there's a difference between
a) piling absurdity upon absurdity
b) just going on and on ...... and on and on .....

In one of their very earliest shows, they did a wonderful sppof of a new romantic 80's group called (if memory serves) 'Batou Batou' or something.
They did one of the best 80's style videos I've ever seen. It was bang on the money.

Stryker? Wasn't it?
"You know, I am thinking, you and I, we should both...FREAK OUT"
I can't remember the last thing that made me laugh as much as the "CRAZY PAVING!" sketch. I can see how other people might have found it irritating, but for some reason it really hit my funnybone.
Another brilliant episode. Too many great sketches to mention, but I love the vampires.

I think "Crazy paving" had to build to an uncomfortable, cringeworthy pitch in order to set up the punchline, where he said "Do you have spotted dick in Germany?" & the wife said "I'm going to bed!!". Sort of, OMG if you think the discussion about crazy paving was bad..

It was spot on ...have you ever heard people in the uk trying to talk to other languages ?
Absolutely no empathy or self awareness.
Loved it. Now when someone doesn't get something I shall shout " Crazy Paving ......!!! "
Armstrong & Miller are funnier than Harry & Paul. I love the two Geordie chefs and the vampires. The couple in the clothes shop brough back memories of Les Dawson & Roy Barraclough.
Thought the sketch with the guy and his parents went on too long and I didn't understand the "Bed Salesman and Carpet Salesman" one, but the rest were good. Missed the airmen, though.

They're the ones I enjoyed too.
Harry and Paul could learn a thing or two if they watch this - their show is rather hit and miss IMO.

Was that on at the start? I missed the first six or seven minutes because I thought it was due to start at quarter to ten, like last week, not 9.30!

One's funny - and then you should stop talking.

I liked this sketch, but agree it could have done with a little pruning.

Quite liked the text a vicar ad.
Father Ted had a short section similar to this with a priest phone line. They're both funny though.
