When there is a British peer they will always be involved in some sleazy scandal. Twice as likely if that peer is politician as well. 13th Duke of Wimbun is very British peer indeed.
He always seems to say Wymbourne not Wybourne so it's how I pronounce it when I quote. It seems to be Wybourne on every title of every video to be fair.
It's what makes it all the more observational and funnier, as it's a fact the aristocrats and toffs have a habit of doing this. Many of their estates are pronounced very differently to the phonetic pronunciation. Names, too. See Harry Enfield's Mr. Cholmondley-Warner skits... they pronounce it "Mr Chumley-Warner".
Not much comedy around these days. If you go back to pre 1980 UK comedy was as diverse as it gets as nothing was sacred. Tody its strained through the sieve of left wing politics, political correctness and SJW's screechers. Some is very funny but its all far too limited. In comedy there is always a victim because you laugh at them/it and you cant arbitrarily draw lines to what is acceptable and what is not that should be decided by the on off switch and the paying customer at the door
Can you children stop associating everything you hate with liberals? It's just misdirection so people do see you for what you are, attention starved right wing wankers.
You re talking out of your arse. It got cancelled cos its run its course. They finished it on a high. Nothing to do with politics you little troll ye. Paul Whitehouse once said that ' if its funny once, it's funny a thousand times ', and Fast Show followed that philosophy. But I guess it just got the the one thousandth and one times and they moved on to other things
@@bfc3057 wrong, the show even today, continues to garner , huge viewer numbers, just look at the constant BBC Two repeats. Subsequently, it was nothing to do with a lack of interest from the public.
It was always meant to be creepy; but it’s also incredibly funny, in a dark, creepy kind of way; that certainly seems to have been the tone Paul Whitehouse was aiming for: what with his delivery, facial expressions, etc. And he pulls it off quite magnificently...as it were haha. All the best. 👍😀

How on earth he kept a straight face doing these sketches!
Most likely so many takes that it simply stops being funny to him.
The Duke, Rowley Birkin and Swiss Tony all resemble stalwarts of my 80’s officer’s mess. I guess Paul Whitehouse must have been there taking notes.

It’s to do with the often ancient origins of place names, in Britain, to which aristocratic titles are frequently bound: as the centuries passed their pronunciation became more simplified while the spellings largely stayed original.
With “-bourne” just being one of the many Saxon words for ‘river,’ like _Bournemouth,_ the mouth of the river, or _Marylebone,_ (Marli-bon, today) the _bourne_ by the Church of St Mary, originally: even though this one’s made up obviously - _there is an authentic Wimbourne in Dorset though_ - “Wymbourne” at some distant moment past would genuinely have been voiced “waim-bo-urne” just becoming “wim’bum” by the time of the Thirteenth Duke; though 13 generations for a dukedom would mark it as very old indeed.

always heard it as wynburn
I have to say, a lot of British comedy doesn't register with me, but this one just kept getting better and better!
It's based on an old classic British comedian/actor Terry-Thomas.
one of the best!
Brilliant!
I do this to this day, never fails t bend ppl up, all about timing🎉😂😂
I think you'll find it's spelled Wymondhambim.

Sadly, the 90s was the last decade in which you could have a character like this.
We are Indeed going backwards due to sensitive types who take offence at everything and offer nothing to culture.
