    The humor in this show hasn't lost it's edge, even after 43 years! There are very few shows that can claim the same.

    Hard to believe this programme is 43 years old now. Interesting that, despite frequently referencing current affairs of the 80s it still manages to be funny and that the concerns of the day are not so dissimilar to our own as we might think. The biggest shift seems to be the huge impact of social media but generally, it's 'Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose'.

    14:35 -- The funniest sketch in this whole episode (and there's a bunch of them) is the John McEnroe impersonation by Griff. It also seems funny to me how people seemed to have forgotten McEnroe's antics versus the umpires during the 1980s.

      ALSO, kangaroo meat from a quick google is most likely not readily available in the UK, not because of some illegal activity in southeast Asia but possibly because of low demand. It's definitely there but you will have to go directly to the sellers to get it.
