  • Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis, who at this point might just actually be the more succesful half of The Mary Whitehouse Experience, appear here in an early 90s PIF (recorded on the 11th of August, 1993) which is unquiely British not only in its appearance (has a member of other race ever worn a blazer?) but it its approach - specifically, black whimsy. No-one but the British can really do that properly. The Australians are good at the caustic side, but they're not particularly whimsical. This is the realm of P. G. Wodehouse, but a little nastier. And not as funny, but then what is?
    Watching this, I toyed with the notion that Hugh Dennis here is a manifestation of the Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water. It's entirely possible. Tautological endline by an apparently astonished Andy Cartledge.

    The final shot gives mixed messages. Throughout the whole thing, Hugh's been pointing out that it's the Alcohol that made them stupid enough to do all those things, yet at the end all we get is a generic 'X people die on inland waterways'.
    A simple 'Don't Drink and Swim' caption after the first would've sufficed.
