well i`m very sorry to hear this sad news of yours i hope that you recovered from your heart attack, but whatever you do next time your watching a fast show sketch or indeed any funny sketch please don`t try and see the doctor in said sketch because no doubt no only will you be possibly very confused about the test results you may also end up dying from laughter.
I love it too ,one of my favourite Fast Show sketches. However, it was stolen from a sketch by John Candy and Dave Thomas from a skit on The Dave Thomas Comedy Show in the late 80s on American TV.
@@neilmccormick2064 It's such a shame there were only 2 Doctor sketches. That character played by Mark Williams was hilarious. There could have been more they could have done with the character.
One of my all time favourite Fast Show sketches. Interestingly these were one off characters,and never appeared in any other sketches.l suppose the whole premise of the sketch wouldn't have worked twice. The Welsh doctor was a great character though,another on of Mark Williams' brilliant comedy creations.
@@jimbass1968 Haha. Watched the sketch and remember it now. Funny but not as memorable as the one with John Thompson. The Welsh Doctor was a great character and funnier than some of the other regular characters in the show. One that comes to mind was the trilby wearing environmentalist played by Simon Day.
But you must know there are lots of countries where the Brit humour has ringed a bell for tens of years. "On the buses" was a well loved family type show here in Finland in my childhood in the 70's; it got over 2 million viewers in a country of abt. 5 mil at the time. Think about that! As for me, went to see the Python movies in theaters, some very funny, but the next hit was the fishy business of Wanda. After that nothing very good stuff until the Fast Show. Boy, did it hit the nerve, big time! I'm just so grateful these snippets are nowadays available on the net. Still miss seeing the whole episodes one at the time, really laughing until it hurts, and then some... :-)
I actually prefer doctors like this - my previous GP had the bedside manner of a rapist ("... what's wrong with you now?"- it was my first visit in nearly a decade) but when he got down to business he didn't fuck around ("What do you mean you were suffering hallucinations and memory loss for the last week you were taking the anti malarial? Why didn't you call me you bloody moron! You were having a severe adverse reaction, you could have bloody died!") , whereas his replacement spoke like she was four and expected everyone else to be the same ("Sooooo you've a little grumbly tummy?")
Everything is so obvious. They ruin it right away. It's the love of comedy we see here. We are on a date. The first thing we do wrong: Will you marry me? Way to soon. Then keep it going. Repeat it tho it was wrong the first time. It's making fun of people who is making fun of people. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. And then comes the nurse. She loves it to. Fun! We all love it. Brilliant. It's an art to show love this way. Hidden in this sketch.

The canned laughter didn't make this funny at all. I never heard of Fast show before and I will make a point of never watching it if this is the best they cn do.

Mark Williams was one of the biggest talents on the Fast Show.
Legend has it they're still fooling each other, trapped in a hell of their own making.
No, they both died……. Ha only joking…..or am I?
This joke could possible go on forever
Or for a month.
This was so funny I had a heart attack watching it.

I don’t recall ever seeing this before today. Don’t know how I missed it. Really great.
This is one of the best sketches ever!!!
The expressions on Mark Williams face make this sketch.
Classic sketch. One of my favourite Fast Show sketches.

There is one other sketch with the doctor in, trying his hand at chiropractic.
@@jimbass1968 I have The Fast Show complete box set. I don't remember this sketch but I would love to see it.

Reminds me on flu crisis these days,going on forever!
Forgot about that one,brilliant.
love this
Sick....but I love it!
So British. We're an odd but brilliant nation for humour. Wonder how long it will continue.
@Butch 78
its already over, comedy is dead, replaced by awful cancel culture when something remotely edgy is brought up.

@@imthezongz On the Buses though mate... That wasn't even funny first time round.
I used to love Big Train too.
I'm Welsh and this is why im glad my Dr is from India.
Same accent?
Fast show doing Monty Python...brilliant....
🎉
Fantastic
Brilliant
Pissing myself 😂😂
This is the Welsh NHS with out a doubt.
Welsh sense of humour in a nutshell it's relentless

@@andymerrett Actually prefer my doctors to be straight talking, with a graveyard sense of humour.
this is so funny! the punchline is perfect. (even if it is real.)😋😂

Refresh my memory, what's a doctor?, are they like Dodos?------- Or just going that way. 🙄
Best sketch comedy show ever
I'm still not sure if that guy was fine or not!
We shall never know . Gotcha , i read the review , it was all a dream . I just made that up. Or did i ?
😂😂😂
I’ll pay my bill on the way out - just jokin’
this only seems to remind me how great 1990s television really was, and how rubbish it is now.
What shows have you tried watching recently and not enjoyed?
@@johnmartinez7440 mrs browns boys, not going out, the green green grass, still open all hours,
@@paulsmith-ll9vg to name a few, the list is endless.
Taskmaster is pretty great (the UK version, and several of the European spinoffs too).
Yours sincerely, disgusted of Tunbridge Wells.
see how you bloody like it
Love this . But it was stolen from a skit by by Dave Thomas and John Candy on the Dave Thomas conedy show in the 80s.
I never knew that!

While you still can....
FS never bettered
Still funny in 2021 with coronavirus taking the mick
It's 2040 Corona was eradicated last year you dolt!
Ain't youtube brilliant?
Is that Ashley Jensen as the Practice Nurse? (You know, her from 'Extras')
I think it is yes, right age and look. The voice too.
It's Eryl Maynard who regularly appeared in the Fast Show as a supporting character 😊
@@StevenJackson215 Yes, seems like you're right 👍. Thirty years ago tho', give or take. My, how time flies....
@@graememorrison333 agreed!
I suppose this would offend one person somewhere so it would be banned immediately nowadays. Glad I’m 52 not 12….

It's okay, not that funny.
Contrast this with its origins (Monty Python) and the drop in standard is significant.
The fast show makes monty python look like a kids show.
@@SandyYoung1 Right stop that, STOP THAT!
It's silly, very silly indeed!!

The laughter isn't 'canned'. It's obvious if you know what the term means, & bother to listen.
Brilliant
