A brilliant parody so well written and acted. The casting is spot on. What a treat.

[@scouseofhorror104]

I was hoping it might go as far as Kate's lunch 🥗 🤣🤣🤣

[@nestaannjarrett4948]

I'd always wondered why there was only one ladies restroom at the male dancers club I frequented back in the 70's. Now I find I owe it all to Shakespeare.

[@Tinker1950]

'Restroom'?
No, I'm afraid not.
Over here in Europe our ladies do not 'rest' in rooms.
Instead we use a word derived from the French via Guillaume, bastard Duc de Normandy, better known as William the Conquerer for the little work required to complete the act viz: toil-ette - the small work or job. Indeed, the Scots still to this day refer to 'gannin fer à wee jobbie'.

How many times do U hear people call toilets on planes & in pubs etc as 'bathrooms?'
Ryanair have 'bathrooms!' 😮

[@nestaannjarrett4948]

@@Tinker1950 please excuse my ignorance of "toilets". In my defense I can only say that, in my family at least, mine is the first generation to grow up with a toilet in the house.

That's a wicked imitation of Rickey Gervais out of Kemp there.

[@Varrik159]

More like an impression of David Brent, don't you think?

Postmodern, intertextual comedy (who knew?!) at its best. And proof final that Kemp IS indeed David Brent 😆

[@noiselesspatient]

And was it Ben Elton who first did routines about sexism in theatre architecture in his late-80s stand-up?

[@anthonycomiskey4087]

Would U prefer this or The Office?
Which is worse, this or the US Office? There's a tough one 😁

The black haired guy is doing Ricky Gervais. Quite clever.

Thank you for pointing that out! His way of speaking is so familiar but I couldn’t place it.

[@DodderingOldMan]

I genuinely didn't figure it out until this scene, where he basically pitches The Office.

[@nickslick75]

You're one heck of an Einstein, aren't you?

[@wazeroonie6084]

FYI, the character in the script was called Gervais until just before shooting.

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

So underrated.

[@jamesl9371]

So true. The ladies toilets still have long lines. They should make the women’s washroom twice as big as the mens

[@cairosilver2932]

Wont someone think of the piss troughs!?

Back when "epic" meant long.

[@makiburgess5733]

It actually means full of episodes (parts).

[@ridethelapras]

@@makiburgess5733 What about when you put them all together?
(Remember, "means" doesn't always mean 'means'.)

@@ridethelapras yes, stitched together, but with stand along episodes, rather than one long arc. Epic is the root of episode.
