Was a kinda satirical comic strip type show from a couple of the ex Pythons. Can’t believe I literally posted a Comic Strip reference just as you were writing that.

Dazey Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I think it would be awesome if we could keep the title of this thread but subtitle it with “UK TV Discussion” and pin it to the top of the TV board. Can you make this happen please @downzy ? Edited January 11, 2019 by Dazey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Damn this is a blast from the past. Scott and Charlene Somewhere around the time that episode aired I wrote a letter (proper airmail envelope and everything) to the Neighbours costume department to ask if I could have a pair of surf shorts Jason Donovan wore in one of the episodes. Shockingly they never replied. Guess I have form for obsessive fan behaviour. A few years later I turned my attention to less wholesome boys and it was all downhill from there. Not that Jason Donovan was a wholesome boy in real life as we all eventually discovered but he put up a good front for a while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was shitloads of like special magazines and shit in the newsagents like it was fuckin’ Charles and Di as I recall.

I’m not going to say she was … cognitively limited… but she did manage to set off smoke alarms while microwaving chocolate. She also had a cry when a one night stand never came back after saying he was “off out for a cig” in the morning. 1 minute ago, Dazey said: We've only had one up there as long as I've been about!

I do have a Uni friend Mark the Racist from Hartlepool though. We once went on a night out in Hartlepool and came very close to a devil's threesome with a midget. * I set off the smoke alarm at least six times earlier today while cooking my daughter's dinner.

I think one tends to benefit from growing up with this sort of thing though cuz its quite juvenile. I remember when I first saw it and I thought it was a bit shit until about half way through the episode when they started fighting and Eddie grabbed Richie, shoved his head in the manky old fridge, and then repeatedly slammed the door on him I love this collection of some of thier fights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really build it up so much and have people expecting the greatest comedy set pieces since Fawlty Towers cuz all they're gonna get is nob gags and mindless violence. At its heart it is putting forward the proposition that in a life devoid of meaning as human life clearly is there is nothing left to do but make fart jokes and kick the fuck out of each other.
