This is the only sketch that has stood out for me from when i was a kid. Still just as funny! Not seen this for about 20 odd years! Thanks for posting!!
This one is great. Remember when is was aired firs time. Out of four friends looking, I was the only one laughing, and laughing so hard that I slipt off the chair and down on the floor. The other just looked at me :)
Very true, I was beaten up at a police station, police denied it, later cctv proved it as another police force obtained the tapes and also found my blood splatter, three policemen of sixteen where charged. I was dearrested as I was not the person wanted. Its called taken in for a whacking. Police never did Menezes it was a SIS event, Menezes was a double agent, hence the radios and trials issues. People open your eyes, its all hidden in plan sight.
Along with the pre-meal prayer to Satan and a song about getting the police to weed your garden under the pretence there might be a body buried in it, this is the only other AS&J sketch I can remember from its original run. It's a shame about the laughter track on this one. It's a bit overwhelming in places and makes some of the lines difficult to catch on initial viewing. Great to see again though. Thanks for uploading :-)
Bleeding fantastic. I am still looking for the hunting sketch where Mel Smith gets a deer on the roof of his car and is swilling beer throughout!! plays such a great slob!
Im Russian and I live in that reality. They outlawed all audiovisual recordings of lawyers meeting incarcerated people anout two years, ago, if you need a lawyer, better find one with fast handwriting
The worst thing is I been in rl court and listen to judges not even getting the facts because, to them it was obvious even before the court started, what had happened. I could not believe it and I'm still in some kind of denial of it.
@@bearmarco1944 To understand that in testimony (and police report) the involved didn't even match up if thing had happened or not. "Did the vase fall to the grown and break in pieces. Was there even a vase?" If you have tre people and not any of their stories can add up the main event. What you're in court for. What came out of the situation. Then I find that term misused. (Was these people angry at each other and used court to state a power position? That was my thought. And the court wanted someone to blame for something we didn't even know if had happened.) That day I lost all trust in law.
@@martinaakervik I can't believe this happened. Take the literal interpretation of what I just said. Think of this; no prosecutor would authorise that proceeding. So, the prosecutor, knowing the police had bad evidence that conflicted with witness statements decided the best course of action was to resume with the case? Why?
@@bearmarco1944 The polise had nothing. They had some diffuse statements from the accident where they came to calm the situation. "They hadn't notis any broken vase" A day or two after the incident the boss went to the police and pushed the employee to do the same. This was also said openly in court. That the other one felt pushed. Their statement was like two different stories. The poor third guy was to blame. (His story was also another one, so tree different stories.) I'm pretty sure it was an idiotic conflict with too much anger and everyone did stupid. But no harm done other than pride. But because it was at a company the boss that was the driving part was trusted for every word. He again partly reported to police because he had some insurance policy going on. But only he had seen what was broken. His employee was also his family, still she didn't know if "the vase" had been broken or not. The poor "guilty" guy had been hired by the company and it had been a loss for the company that day.
@@martinaakervik If the circumstances around the evidence are really that bad, I wouldn't expect a prosecutor would allow that to go to trial. Their jobs are just as much to stop trying to prosecute cases that that have evidence which you describe as "scant".
Never get tired of these guys. Immortal vintage humor.
Still can't believe he's gone. Great comedy. Great man.
'I even bloody know 'em' ! Genius!! I love S&J.
I love how you can hear the smacking and punching in the back ground
I remember watching this when it was aired on TV. I was in hysterics. Brilliant.
Same here bloody hilarious.
Surely one of the top 100 sketches in British comedy history.
Marvelous, but I would rank "antiques roadshow" even higher.
This is one of the best S&J sketches ever.
i just keep watching this again and again and it just gets funnier each time!
How's the tea 😂😂

"...pin that jewelry store blag on me! You've got the [RIGHT] man!"
Looks like he folded under questioning.
Ang on guv it was the building society you ain't pinning no jewelry blag on me!!!
R.I.P. Mel, Thanks for helping to make the '80s the best time for Comedy...
Kravski This was made in 1993.
Two of our best Comedy genius god bless guys thanks for the memories
Smith and Jones are awesome,their humor is above most of the crap being made today.These guys are legends.Period.
We had the best comedy duos in the world. These are another great example. Makes you proud to be British ❤
"How's the tea?"
"Fine, thanks" (mouths *FUCK OFF*)
RIP Mel Smith. I loved your work.

Never gets old, great clip
2017 and I didn't even know he was dead, I grew up on this. sad!
Looks like they saw how the Royal Ulster Constabulary conducted interviews in Northern Ireland back in the 70s and 80s.
Really good police video clip.One of my all time fave sketches.
LOOK....-'s like you got me fair and square.
My favourite sketch. When things get a bit too much I come here for a laughter remedy
Brilliant. This video was actually used as a "how not to" guide to interviewing at the old Bruche Training School in Warrington
And at PTC Cwmbran!
This IS my favorite sketch from the wholes series, hilarious.
hows the tea? FINE THANKS! great!
Quality vid,remember it from the telly. Great to see it again.
STILL watching in 2018!!
Brilliant glad it's still around to see...
love this sketch
The hand moving the clock fingers...lol
When I was a police officer, we'd be shown this clip everytime we did a PACE refresher course.
Maybe the best sketch show ever!!!!
This is really good.I have this on video somewhere and there is another part to it at the beginning,if i remember.I'm going to have to search for it.
Classic stuff, had me giggling for ages.
wow these two are actually pretty funny
Best quality humor ever created.
😂😂😂😂😂 watched it 8 times in a row.... STILL laughing.. lol
It was when it was announce that the policy of police interviews meant they had to be recorded
It makes me think, if Jean Charles de Menezes had been captured alive, this is the way he would have been interrogated

Absolute poetry

Classic sketch! They were a great double act. Still very funny
Best bit was the fruitcake n' tart! 🤣🤣
First saw this over twenty years ago. I love the fact they edit in a picture of Referee Keith Hackett.
Brilliant... just brilliant..
RIP Mel Smith. A very funny man.
Love that sketch.
Great video. Does anyone remember that S&J did a skit on Inspector Morse? Eg driving the banger car leaving an oil patch etc ..
Don't know that one, but it reminds me of this sketch on Morse by Hale and Pace: th-cam.com/video/WxFV4csAQA0/w-d-xo.html

true to day you can hear them giving him a kicking in the back ground lol lol
That's why you always remain silent 🤫
Brilliant! XD
Didnt see any difference than a real police station.
such a shame Mel smith passed. He was a genius.

This is hilarious
Still practised in 2018
Simpsons stole this bit.
Police selective video editing at its best.
Priceless, of course it would never really happen.......
agreed
Lol!
Class Act!
That last bit was funnier than the interrogation. “Right, who is the fruitcake and who is the tart.” 😂😂
Totally unexpected that. Had me reaching for a tissue!
They left out Mel's reply of "Here's your ice cream then."
I'm the tarte.
How was the TEA? yeah, awesome.
i am sore from laughing
How was the TEA ;)
Genius
Quality.
I uploaded the police/garden sketch ... search for smith jones inner city garden
