Geo V Posted 27 April 2007 Posted 27 April 2007 It was alright in its day. Ron Manager was great as was his Scottish sidekick. The two "Suits you sir" Dudes were hilarious also. I didnt catch the new Enfield/Whitehouse show but I heard it was pretty crap???

I didnt catch the new Enfield/Whitehouse show but I heard it was pretty crap??? Couldn't tell you... I never had much time for Enfield myself. He had some good characters... but not enough. The Fast Show is one program I have truly missed... over the years some of the other brilliant shows I used to watch have trickled over, and now they bring a lot more of the recent work too. We've had both series of I'm Alan Partridge in recent years... the Royle Family has been on (another great) and Saxondale has aired here, although I missed the first run I get a chance to watch it when it airs starting next week. I'm keen to see Extras head over at some point, it's on BBC America in the US... but it hasn't made it up here yet. *sniff* But anyways... The Fast Show. Brilliant. There was a great sketch on youtube - Jazz Club featuring Jackson Jeffrey Jackson. A pioneering trumpeter who doesn't exhale, he inhales (or, in summary, he doesn't blow, he sucks). Great. Sadly it's no longer on YouTube... I cried when I realized the user had withdrawn the video.
Geo V Posted 27 April 2007 Posted 27 April 2007 it was a quality show alright. I dont know why these buggers keep having to take these old vids off, maybe it effects DVD sales or something? Anyway, time to look on youtube for some mor efine work from the suits you tailors

Anyway, time to look on youtube for some mor efine work from the suits you tailors Well it is illegal, because the material is copyrighted... I'd counter that it could - if done properly - boost sales. I've seen the Fast Show... but some of those who are a couple of years younger than me might not have... a few good clips might tempt them to buy the DVD. I think the BBC had this in mind when they created their own content channel at YouTube - they upload some Top Gear clips, Spooks, Hustle, League of Gentlemen, Catherine Tate, etc... If the DVDs for the Fast Show were on sale this side of the pond, I'd be the first to buy them. I've got no qualms about actually paying to see good comedy and so on - my dad and I are building up quite a collection of comedies from the BBC, indeed. But, until the Fast Show is on sale here, I have to make do with illegally uploaded, low quality content video. :pinch: Perhaps if I hadn't been for such a short visit, I'd have got the DVDs when I was in the UK last year. Alas, I had been away for five years and was only there for 6 days or so. Lots of catching up to do, spent most of the time drinking with my best friend and all his friends.

lookwhaticando Posted 27 April 2007 Author Posted 27 April 2007 Bob Fleming (Country Matters) - that one's for you, JF. - Chanel 9 is one of the very funniest. How they're not pissing themselves laughing while trying to act out the scripts is beyond me. Roger the Nouveau Football Fan - (Phube will love this one, I'm sure) - one of the later characters. Absolutely hilarious. Listen out for the bit about teams he used to support, between the credits at the end. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Paul Whitehouse is a Spurs fan, apparently... which goes some way to explaining why Roger supports who he "supports".
