I came here for Huge and Stephen...then Hugh's character comes from the same place I am! Its the permeated and unbruised cherry on a very moistingly rich and completely real cake!
Does anyone know if there's a clip on this 'ere tube of Freddie Benson on this show? I remember it like it was a sort of drug induced nightmare or something...
Just in case, 'Гласность'-'Glasnost', means diversity of verbal opinions in Russian. And it is indeed a psychological plague which put an end to the most optimistc global project us humans have ever took a gender on - the USSR. Rest in peace, sweet memory. Unrepeatable for at least a century. Добро пожаловать в Россию, если что. У нас жарко и зимой и летом, где бы вы ни находились.
All of these Oxbridge people proved themselves while at university, which is why they got a shot on television. Stop being bitter. Why do you common folk have some much envy and hatred for those that are better than you?
"you common folk" "better than you" Who the hell do you think you are you stuck up piece of shit. Didn't your parents buy you manners to go with your ego?
Elton went to Manchester University and Enfield to York University not Oxbridge. They are different from the other two I think. But, as far as the sketch goes I do agree with you.
revol148 Wow, thank FUCK the World's got you telling us what we should and shouldn't like. Seriously, I don't know what we'd do without you. My favourite colour is red, please tell me, oh Great One, is this correct?
"Simple-minded"? That's the BEST you can do? Wow, a regular Oscar Wilde, aren't you? You're making the common troll error of mistaking arrogance for wit. Come on, do better. And perhaps you can explain to us simple-minded buffoons exactly why your opinion is worth ANYTHING? No, you can't, because it isn't.
well written and reasonably well performed
Fry, Laurie, AND Enfield? Be still my beating heart...
What? Watched this when it was first show on television. Not a big deal. A time of great comedians. Friday Night was great.
Excellent. I love it!

Funny as hell!!! old school humor
That skit was really struggling until Elton went on stage. Then it died.
Open my ass...!
hahaha
*arse
Fond memories of this show. And they weren’t reading from cue cards. Did these chaps do anything else after this?
Ball bouncingly funny.

Can't tell if this was 86 or 87.
Ben couldn't have changed his trousers I suppose!
what's a DVD? is that like you watch everything for free on youtube?
Doovde
Does anyone have the intro to this show?
Is this it? th-cam.com/video/vEAabd5EONo/w-d-xo.html
the joke from 2:42-2:56
both cheap and priceless
It wasn't cheap. It was clever. Subverting expectations is the basis of most comedy and they did it fantastically there.
What the 'ell has happened to the incredibly talented Ben Elton? I haven't seen him on TV for years.
Became an arsehole and moved to Australia.
How was Ben Elton ever famous?
He wrote two of the best sitcoms of all time- aside from that ...

Public school -> oxbridge -> vaguely funny -> good connections ------...----> bit of effort --> 'the cleverest people on the planet'

two words - (1) funny (2) not

Jamie Williamson my opinion is worth more than yours - hence I will continue to give it - even if simple-minded people like you disagree.
