0:00 - I am a fan of The Fast Show. Paul Whitehouse is a good actor, comedian, writer and singer. My aunty and uncle gave me a VHS of Fast Show Live and they didn't know I was a fan. They told me they met Paul Whitehouse and that he was a nice man and they told me that Paul Whitehouse talked to them about the Rowley Birkin sketches and that he told them that they were unscripted and they would show image a random image off camera and he would make it all up on the spot.

Rowley Birkin is a Time Lord and he regenerated in his sleep.

I watched this thing wondering when Harry Enfield was going to get out of his costume.

Delightful!

i love how the ladies are standing up for humour here. Humour was invented to attract lovely ladies and by George do they bloody know it.

[@janecme]

Fuck me, it's a whole room full of Roly Birkin

[@andydixon2980]

They thought pop music was bad then? Even worse now.

[@graemeyetts3465]

Sadly inevitable, I think.
