      When you paused to talk about Frankie not being in it, you had Chris Addison on screen - he basically took Frankie's spot as the regular sitting on the extreme left for a couple of seasons, then moved on himself. He mostly directs these days - VEEP for instance, having starred in the creator's earlier sitcom THE THICK OF IT.

    18:35 The shipping forecast is a regular maritime weather forecast read out over the radio that has a very specific format and terse language (as he's imitating), part of which is the barometric pressure and what trend it's following (rising slowly, falling moderately, etc) to give an indication of how the weather is changing.The seas around the UK are divided up into zones covered in the forecast, one of which is called Dogger. So part of a forecast might go something like "Dogger. 1021. Rising slowly". The joke here comes from the fact that in British English 'dogger' also refers to someone who engages in the practice of clandestine public sex in their car in the view of strangers, who come to watch for their own gratification. Hence him saying "Dogger. Car park. My penis. Rising slowly."

      “Hoover” is a brand name and actually has nothing to do with the product type. A British company named Pneumatic make the Henry.
      It’s similar to saying “Google it” even when people may not even be actually using Google to research something.

    Hi- I'm new to the channel. The British game shows brought me here. I am from Michigan and also started watching these shows. Mock the Week is one of the few I'd recommend these compilations rather than watch the full shows. The first part is topical, local jokes. The show has been around for 20 series. So you will hear jabs at politicians and topics long gone. Easy for the jokes to go over your head. There are different formats out there. This one is a compilation of one segment. Others are per comedian. There is one over a half hour long of just Ed Byrne. Yes, that is Stewart Francis, also is a repeat guest. Wait until you first run across Milton Jones. I think you will like him.

    Frankie was an original on the show and did the first seven series of the show before getting kicked off as too offensive. (There used to be two regulars and a guest on each side. Now its just Dara and Hugh.) Frankie got banned from the BBC for a while but got back on around the Scottish Referendum when they needed Scottish comedians. Most of the "too hot for TV" special episodes are mostly Frankie. You picked one of the "best bits" specials instead.
    There's basically three types of doctors call on the NHS. There's a regular appointment that takes a week. (checkup or sore hip) There's an emergency appointment that can be the same or next day. (You're ill.) Then there's a home visit if you can't make it to the doctor, and he judges if you need to go to the hospital. (You're bedridden) There's no fee, they get paid an agreed rate by the NHS per person seen. (some have contracts stating they don't do home visits.) In Scotland there's no prescription charges. Your medication is free. (Again covered by the NHS through money provided by the Scottish government.)
    An example would be, I fell on Sunday, went to casualty and got stitches. I called on the Monday to arrange and get my stitches out on the following Monday at a local health centre at their treatment room. When I cleaned the wound on Tuesday it looked iffy, I phoned an appointment and got a doctor to call me back same day. I sent him a picture of the wound. I got prescribed antibiotics, my sister picked up the prescription for me same day. All with minimum fuss and no cost to me, other than my taxes that I'm already paying. I've been told the bill in the states would be massive.
    A&E is our casualty department in the local hospital, you would call it an ER. (Again all costs covered by the NHS) Accident and Emergency and Emergency Room. Wards in a British hospital are lettered. i.e. ward N South, Ward G, etc. and usually correspond to the floor of the building they are on. (Our taxes covers the NHS funding.)
    B&Q is our version of Home Depot.

    When British people say a doctor they normally mean a GP or family medical practitioners in the US. Yes you can wait a while for an appointment, but if it's an emergency it's normally possible to see one that day. I had to see a doctor the other day, phoned up and booked an appointment for that very day, but simple things you can wait a while. It all comes down to priorities, like do you have a just cough compared to, are you coughing up blood.
    The other thing you have to realise is that in the UK we go to the doctor if we do not feel right, preventive care. Preventive care is when someone integrates healthy behaviors into their lifestyle, they are practicing preventive care. This type of care takes place before any signs or symptoms of a condition or disease have been detected. So Doctor can get booked up a lot.
    Whereas in the States it's more likely you only go when you really need to, so reactive care, but by that time it could already be to late.
    In the UK we don't go to a hospital unless it's really bad, then you go to A&E (accident and emergency), where you will be seen in an hour or two, again down to priorities, as you maybe que jumped by someone that's been in a car crash.

    Ok guys. This is a panel show and what you are watching is only a part of the show. It has different comedians on every week but there are comedians who are on everyweek like hugh dennis and frankie boyle for some seasons. These clips are from a season that Frankie Boyle wasn't on. You really need to see a whole show to get the concept of it as the other parts are just as funny or more where frankie boyle is concerned.

  • @brynduraz
    @brynduraz 2 года назад +6

    Mock the week has a permanent host (Dara O'Brien) and a number of recurring panellists -Frankie was in the early series. The only panellist to be in all the series is Hugh Dennis (suited gent, middle of right hand side). The main part of the show is about UK political news and major events. The scenes we'd like to see is the light relief segment. It's 3 mins per topic and is given 2 themes. There is also the random topic wheel where X comedians have to do a short routine based on a random theme. E.g. Transport.

    Frankie Boyle was always left-wing, he just has a show now where he talks openly about politics. His jokes were always shocking and still are, but I think they're even more brutal now content wise. He's obviously not PC. I guess you could call some of his stances "woke", but if you just disagree and that's why you can't laugh at his jokes that are still just as hilarious and brutal, I think you're the snowflake :P

Especially in this day and age, where a comic onstage always shares parts of themselves... Good and bad, to an audience, rants about their personal woes, hatreds, annoyances.. a totally unique personality is at the helm, the audience has to be made to react to them and won over....

But no matter what it is you never get a bill. Nearly half the population also get their prescriptions free too... and if you do pay it will be less than $10 anyway.
