The spot they’re fishing at (9:50) is the exact spot my grandad made me get into the water to find a propellor that had spun off the model boat he had made.. I was 9 and had to feel around with my feet...in my underwear! The lake is Black Park, close to Iver and Pinewood studios. Just thought I’d add that. :)
I used to go there a lot, too. It brings back a lot of happy memories for me, walking in the beech woods, watching the model boats buzzing around on the lake. My father was the Buckinghamshire County Council Land Agent and was responsible for Black Park, Langley Park and other public spots around the county. Good times.
I’ve been listening out for “From Our Taps” every day since this was broadcast and I have to say that I am positively flabbergasted that it has never been on. What an utter disgrace.
Not seen this episode before, the beatles was funny, mr and mrs oasis lol the dragons den sketch is always funny, the evan davis impression is hilarious!
I love both Sophies and Catherine's performances in the saw you coming sketch, both are smoking hot and very talanted, especially love the rude character Sophie does so well, so much so I feel sorry for listeria (although id pop in there every day if Giselle spoke to me like that) well done ladies. Top performances throughout the series.
Nearly twenty years later and this is still utterly top tier comedy. Amazing how well the race references have held up; back then Walliams and Lucas were doing horrific blackface and yet Harry and Paul were so perfectly aware of how to treat this issues properly
7:26 The Americans' audience participation. 9:26 The Fishermen. It is like this. 'Bettering' yourself could be a good thing but then the sketch also reflects the importance of holding on to your identity. 18:18 What a stunning view and I don't just mean Sophie.
Harry and Paul are obviously brilliant guys. Funny as hell. The only talents I would compare them to in the US are Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, Joe Flarety from the old SCTV show. I think those guys are from Canada though.
I will explain how everyone in these sketches is brilliant and its pretty simple ,it's something my grandad taught me ,take the obvious and make it funny,take the piss out of the piss ,very hard thing to do
It showcases their character work, which is considerable...but is a little shy on jokes/laughs. Which sucks to say, because I do have a great affection for them, especially Paul. Still, the actor Kevin Eldon as George Martin is worth it.
I was a receptionist for the MOD and I used to read books, and despite knowing that someone was waiting at the desk I wouldn't look at them until I'd finished the paragraph I was reading 😅 Receptionist Control Freak not a people person 😊
OMG I love the 'I Saw You Coming' sketch - 'I am reading a book'. I remember these shows, most people only remember Harry and Paul from the 90s but these sketches were absolute genius. I reckon because the fucking BBC believed Enfield wasn't 'left-wing' enough they stuck this series on at 9.30 on BBC 2, so not many people saw it.
I love The Benefits. To really sell it they should have a perpetually screaming infant that they completely ignore, but I suppose the relentless dog barking is annoying enough.
Superb, surreal, bonkers, dry wit and just plain excellent comedy and observation. There is no equivalence today.
Sorry that's a mistake it's 10 pounds for a chocolat tarte not a chocolate tart.
Imagine doing parking pataweyo now 😂
All of the "I saw you coming" sketches are totally brilliant. Enfield's best character IMO.
Paul Whitehouse is a national treasure
That Dean he is like that short arse who attacked Simon Copper in the inbetweeners

The football changing room scene was genius. How good a actor is Paul Whitehouse.
He's almost in that Toff actor's league.

They're the best. So brilliant to see them back this week as Loadsamoney and Stavros, still funnier than most other stuff both old and new.

Catherine Shepherd has the nicest voice. Of anyone.

Does anyone else just adore the American tourists?
Excellent and so true

It was hilarious.Number 4 reminds me of the actor in 'Peaky Blinders'.

The bookies sketch and Mr Bean decapitating the shopowner for a penny were my highlights! 😂
harry paul is so good cause they dont have to overlay fake laughing sounds onto it, so fucking pure comedy
The laughing sounds were never fake. They'd play the footage to the audience and that's the laughter you'd hear.
The little boy playing Peter is an outstanding actor!

The fishing sketch looks like it was filmed at Black Park lake near Slough.
That's what I thought. Pinewood studios close by of course & TV progs made there, so maybe.
