An amusing sketch of a spoof version of History Today from the 1990 comedy the Whitehouse Experience.
DB: Er, welcome once again to History Today.
I'm afraid that tonight the axe is hanging over our programme.
We have been warned that unless we properly explore tonight's topic
of discussion, the Industrial Revolution, my and Professor F.J Lewis'
tenure on the television will be terminated forthwith. So, Professor
Lewis, what do you feel were the primary problems faced by urban
society during the period 1702 to '56?
RN: Well the Industrial Revolution caused a shift to urban conurbations by
what had been largely agrarian population and communities and so
forth. This led to very poor living conditions, and in his journal Samuel
Pepys gives a particularly harrowing account of one man, whom he
describes thus: {reads from book}
'He had scurvy and rickets and was covered from head to foot in festering sores. All in all he was quite the most ghastly apparition of a man I had ever seen.'
DB: I see. Who exactly was this poor unfortunate?
RN: {slowly turns the page} That's you, that is. That's the nicest thing he could find to say about you.
DB: I see. See that M. Khan?
RN: I have certainly heard of the fellow.
DB: He's your best mate he is. He's like your special friend. You are him -
Professor F.J.M Khan, is bent.
RN: Oh ah ha ha ha.
You see a piece of old crust, with like blue mould all over it?
DB: Er, that's got a bit wet in the corner?
RN: Yes, yes that's right and very stale and hard.
DB: Has it been on the floor?
RN: Yes, it has been on the floor and it smells very bad because it is off.
DB: Yes?
RN: That's your dinner, that is. That's what you have at Christmas. That's your special birthday meal.
DB: See this? {pulls a face} That's you, that is.
RN: Sorry, I didn't see you do anything then. All you did was this {keeps a
straight face} 'see this? That's you, that is'.
Oh, are you pulling a funny face now? Oh that's horrible, ohh hho stop it now.
DB: You know that song - da de da, de da da da- that's your favourite, that is.
That's your favourite number one song of all time. Oh, you've had a haircut. Hairrrrcut. Haircuuutt.
RN: You see that Theo Kojak? That's you, that is.
DB: {spits} See that bit of flob?
RN: Yes.
DB: That's you, that is.
RN: No, that's your swimming pool in your garden. Oh look, there's your mum. {stands and pretends to swim}
DB: Well, I think no one can be in any doubt that we have had tonight a
most rich and enlightening debate. Er, Professor Lewis, thankyou very
much.
RN: {stands up straight} Thankyou. {pretends to swim again}
My channel on you tube : / alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 1,400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian and Spanish.
My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- www.ceepackagin... - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and www.ceepackagin... gives a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

My dog got a haircut today and all day I’ve been saying ‘hair cut’ to him.. the effect is not quite the same as winding up younger brothers in the late 80’s, but the joke has still travelled very, very well...
The funny thing is that by the end of their partnership they hated each other so much that this was the only part of their act they would do
Shame Newman seemed to move away from comedy. Even bigger shame that Baddiel didn't.
Throughout the 70s at school the single most hilarious thing that could occur was someone’s new haircut and the piss taking would last for nearly as long as the haircut itself (4-6weeks).
That brings back bad memories. I used to get it done on a Friday hoping that by Monday it would have either grown again or people had forgotten.
see how out of sync this is? That's you that is.
@alanheath There was a running gag throughout the show about a piece of graffiti one of them had spotted saying "M Khan is Bent" they kept referring to this guy,whoever he was. It was pretty funny.
"You are him" 😂😂
@alanheath Thats spot on. Baddiel did a bit about how half the population of England must have seen the graffiti.
The licking of the finger before he turns the page is magic.
Hahahahahaaaaa!
Even though its out of sink its still hilarious!
Haircut! Haircut!
That just cracks me up. This is funny but never gets shown on television. Instead they put new shows on which are called “comedy”. Interestingly they do not make anyone laugh.
As had title Mary Whitehouse Experience BBC have never repeated it
Classic
Cool
Hilarious. :D
@moregainkhunt That is you that is! But who is he?
Hair cut haircut
Maybe the only thing that dates well with this show....Just about.
When the BBC used to do actual Comedy. Funny memorably COMEDY that made people laugh. Nobody is going to be looking up episodes of laugh free sh1te like "The Mash Report" or "Frankie Boyle's Preachy Marxist Luvviefest" in 3 years time never mind 30.
Oh fucking grow up, snowflake.
…Is it just me, or is this as funny as involuntary bowel surgery?
I think it is hilarious but could understand why someone might not like it.
quality viewing
See that m kharn thats you that is
When David Baddiel was funny and not operating as an agent of Israel to defend the attacks on Palestine!
What has he said?
I don't think he's partisan on either side of that conflict.
@@VanlifewithAlan He campaigned on social media to get rid of Corbyn over BS anti-semistisim over his stance on Palestine
The sound and images are out of sync....
