Harry and Paul was very good tonight.

The society for the prevention of cruelty to Northerners. Parking Patewayo, The Writer and the Landlady, The elderly Beatles... All great.
My particular favourite of this series, Gabbatore, the corrupt Italian President wasn't in tonight's show, but it was the best of the series, so far.
The Dragons Den sketch was on the nail. - 'I sell you this piece of paper for eighty thousand quid. It's worth that much because I'm a Banker and I say it is. You sell it back to me for two million, Then I sell it on to someone else for Four million. We trade it back and forth, until eventually, when it's worth a few hundred million (because we're Bankers and say it is), we sell it to some Oik in a high street bank, who gets the government to pay for it.

Not so much a comedy sketch, as a very well explained statement of how our economy really works. - I didn't know whether to laugh, or cry.

Find it a bit hit and miss to be honest, but the old beatles is inspired, as is Harry as Deborah from Dragon's Den! Don't understand the point of Parking Patoweyo.

You would, if you lived in London. - All the traffic wardens are African and completely ruthless.

Love the series. Some sketches funnier than others. But it hits the laugh out loud quota.

Parking Patoweyo, is it racist?
If not, why not?
Is it just because as mowog says, its the way things are?

I'm sure such a high profile show has been looked over with a fine tooth comb but my little uncomfortableness antenna are shivering.
Lurking is shirking.!

That sketch was wonderful, especially Charlie Higson's bit! Patoweyo, understand the point Harry's making, but can't see the humour beyond the Postman Pat pun, and it's been done before - much more cruelly and humorously.
Seem's like he's just using the sketch to air a personal grievance to me, maybe he got a ticket!

It's the best sketch show on (maybe apart from School of Comedy) but it's not the Fast Show

Well, I look like a quair, and I sound like a quair. So, Yes... Put me down as almost certainly a probable quair!

But he shoots with a Pentax??? Would a quair shoot with a Pentax??

If anyone outside the UK's wondering what we are going on about
it's based on two characters from the show who keep asking if
certain famous people are quairs. Unfortunately you have to
see the show to appreciate it.

I might possibly be an almost certainly probable quair (I did go to the Theatre last week), but I do enjoy a nice salad after a spot of quairing... And I can digest quiche, so definitely not a northern quair!
