Each show was in front of a audience and you can tell they laughed their arses off, even Gareth tried his hardest to hold his laughter in "Hospital where people come to get a bed, but thats enough of the fairytales"
Neither could keep a straight face themselves on this sketch. Honestly one of the funniest comedy duos ever still to this day in 2024. Nothing was off limits with them. Yorkshire, Liverpool, Southerners, the famous Bouncer sketces and the drugs song which nearly put me in hospital laughing. The good old days when people never got offended over the slightest thing.
Memories .... I learned a lot from watching these guys on telly in NZ while I was learning English there. Understand a lot better now though. Love them!
Now this was the funniest sketch that Hale and Pace ever did. I happened to have had the aformentioned "operation" a year before this sketch was seen for the first time and it was a bit like a satire for someone like myself. (For the record, the episode was first TX on Sunday 15th October 1989, and also had the Coca Cola advert parody, Little Joshie's poo poo, and Bollocks golf sketch in that episode as well).
i've only seen Norman Pale perform in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He was playing the Narrator in The Rocky Horror Show and he was absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!!
I think its the way it was put on RUclips. I like it actually, if a room full of laughter is loud and intense it means what's happening is *Extremely* funny :-D
Jon McGlashan yes! I still have it on VHS and the laughter track was that loud! The bit with Bertie, from the days where they tested all sorts on Beagles, and that woman’s howling laughter when he appears. It’s brilliant.
LWT, who made the show, started going over the top with the sound mixing of the audience reactions to the point where it was unnecessarily heavily distorted. There's no denying it's extremely funny, but the overkill level completely ruined it to the point where some of the comic dialogue was inaudible. I complained to the IBA about LWT doing this, but they denied it happening the lying bastards. This clip is ridden with it.
God knows how I've ended up here in 2024! But im glad i have, remember Hale & Pace from back in the day, absolute comedy gold! 😂😂😂😂❤

"Hospital where people come to get a bed, but thats enough of the fairytales"
As soon as I saw this I remembered watching this when it was on the TV. Absolutely classic. Still laughed my ass off years later.
this has been etched into my mind...ever since i first saw it on TV back in the day...pops into my head at least once a year!!
Gareth can't contain his laughing, absolutely brilliant this
Now you’re talking!!! Proper comedy, brilliant 😂😂
It's such a shame you don't get comedy shows like this anymore..daft but great light-hearted humour.
My favourite bit of any Billy & Jonny sketch is the "We know a song about that" line.
We still say that in my house
Brilliantly done. Seems even funnier now than it did then.
When comedy on TV was funny... The good old days 😀😁
Oh the woke folk wouldn't allow it 😮😂

Hale and Pace are comic geniuses. The 2 Rons are my fave sketches.
You mean...."duh manigment" 😊🤗🤣👌🏻😎👍🏻 don't forget the "well árd" lads.!😂😆🤣😂

Could you imagine the pc brigade throwing a dozen fits!
1:51 I love it when corpsing happens. I'm literally in tears..............
I loved the show in '88 when I was 15 !!! I thought they were great and under-rated too.
Memories .... I learned a lot from watching these guys on telly in NZ while I was learning English there. Understand a lot better now though. Love them!
Brilliant stuff. Always made me laugh out loud.
The best thing is that it doesn't matter if Gareth corpses because we expect Billy to have a manic grin anyway.
Absolutely fantastic😂😂 these two were comedy gold,real belly laughs with every sketch they did🎉🎉
A post on Twitter brought me here. What a great trip down memory lane 😂

My condolences for your loss.

I miss these guys on TV
Comedy ain’t the same now
Bloody hilarious
AND the bed situation in hostipals are still the same!!
The laugh track sounds so intense
I think its the way it was put on RUclips. I like it actually, if a room full of laughter is loud and intense it means what's happening is *Extremely* funny :-D
this was how it sounded on the VHS tape i had of this scene. It was amazing how loud it was!
Jon McGlashan yes! I still have it on VHS and the laughter track was that loud! The bit with Bertie, from the days where they tested all sorts on Beagles, and that woman’s howling laughter when he appears. It’s brilliant.
That’s the audience damn near wetting themselves laughing.
LWT, who made the show, started going over the top with the sound mixing of the audience reactions to the point where it was unnecessarily heavily distorted. There's no denying it's extremely funny, but the overkill level completely ruined it to the point where some of the comic dialogue was inaudible.
