Sorry, I've Got No Head

Good evening. Good evening. How are you? It's chilly. Laura's cold, Elsie's ill. I'm Meg. Yeah, we were going to record yesterday,

[00:00:50] but my... Elsie's voice was too trash. Well, Meg listened to my radio show on the morning of yesterday and she said,

[00:00:58] would you like to record tomorrow instead? And I said, so you've been listening, have you? I only listened

[00:01:04] for like the last half hour. It was because I heard, I had a conversation with you in the morning

[00:01:09] where I said morning and you said morning. And I was like, oh.

[00:01:16] Oh dear. It wasn't a conversation. You exited your room in your pajamas. I was out the door and you

[00:01:23] went morning and I went, morning. Bye. See you later. So I'm on the mend. So I've noticed a kind of

[00:01:35] trend in our programming, right? Programming? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm calling it.

[00:01:40] We're professional. We're professionals. I feel very professional on this floor.

[00:01:45] With your mittens. With my mittens.

[00:01:48] Well, if you take the meaning of the word professional to mean

[00:01:51] in a profession, the format of a profession or in the...

[00:01:56] This is a very you way, me way to approach this conversation. It doesn't matter how ratchet

[00:02:01] you execute that profession as long as you do it as your profession. I think we explained on a

[00:02:06] Zoom call yesterday, we make about 50 quid a month from this. Which is not why we do it.

[00:02:15] We do it because it makes us happy. We do it for love of the game. Yes. It just gives us something

[00:02:19] to do of an evening. I know. It's lovely. We used to consume media. We used to watch films

[00:02:23] together. Now we do this. Now we bulk watch a kid's TV program. Talk about it a lot and then never

[00:02:28] think about it again. That's so true. Wednesday night used to be movie night. Film night, yeah.

[00:02:33] During Covid and now it's record. Every other week it's record and every other week it's Elsie

[00:02:38] has to edit and we don't see her. Yeah. The thing I've noticed about our programming is that if we do

[00:02:44] a kind of highbrow episode or something that is quite old, the next one will be something quite

[00:02:53] recent. Or if we do something that's very fact and research heavy, the next one will be quite

[00:02:57] light-hearted. And last time we did a two-parter about the difficulties of adapting Enid Blyton,

[00:03:06] Famous Racist, for the modern child. And now, next time, today... Sorry, Famous Racist puts you in the

[00:03:13] same category as Nigel Farage. Yes, it does. Not a fun category. And now we're doing Sorry,

[00:03:18] I've Got No Head. I'm very pleased with the Famous Five episode. I think it came out really well.

[00:03:22] I'm delighted with it. I really enjoy listening to us. It wasn't easy to do that one actually,

[00:03:27] so you're welcome. Long as well. It was like I had never really gone at all into Enid Blyton as a

[00:03:34] kid, so it was a fully new experience for me. As is this, I didn't watch I've Got No Head as a kid.

[00:03:40] What did you call it? I've Got No Head. Sorry, I've Got No Head.

[00:04:04] I thought Laura was gonna hate it, and she's been cackling along with it. Well, because like you,

[00:04:09] before you had watched any of an, as an adult, you went, oh, I hated it, I think Laura's gonna

[00:04:13] hate it. And then you and Els watched some while I was like furiously in my room marking.

[00:04:18] And I could, I actually came out and went, could you guys be quieter? Because you're laughing so

[00:04:23] much, it's making me sad that I can't join you. And Meg went, grow the fuck up.

[00:04:29] Go do your job. See, that's the problem with working from home, isn't it? Like I can go away

[00:04:35] to my job and you two have to sit in your rooms while I'm giggling to myself in the living room.

[00:04:41] It's more like the problem with Laura's schedule because I do my job while she gets to sleep,

[00:04:47] but that means she has to do her job while I get to laugh. So Laura does all her work in the evening.

[00:04:54] Well, so I am like 12 to 8 rather than like 9 to 5. Yeah. ADHD. I don't know if this is

[00:05:03] interesting. I think it's relatable. Yeah. Yeah. Relatable content. Never question whether

[00:05:08] we're interesting Elsie. What did you say to me the other day? That behind your back,

[00:05:12] I call you interesting, Laura. Thank you. You know what? When I messaged you that,

[00:05:17] I did message it as a joke. Oh. And I, and then you responded and you were like,

[00:05:22] oh, that's so kind. And I was like, oh, I better not say anything.

[00:05:28] I mean, I do think you're really interesting. Guys, the face Laura's pulling right now would

[00:05:33] break your heart. Oh my God. I'm so, I'm so sorry. Look what you've done, Els. I'm so sorry.

[00:05:37] I, I describe you to people as interesting in a, you know, in a positive way. But like when I messaged,

[00:05:43] because you were messaging me and you were like, I don't know if I'm interesting or something.

[00:05:46] Well, no, I said, um, I was like, oh, and this one report is formatted beautifully. I'm so happy

[00:05:52] about it. And then I went, God, I'm boring. And I said, no, behind your back, I call you interesting,

[00:05:57] Laura, as a joke. And you were like, oh, Elsie, that's made me feel so good.

[00:06:04] Have you asked Elsie the question you asked me yesterday?

[00:06:07] Oh, would you rather be impressive or interesting? Well, to start off, tell me which one I am.

[00:06:14] I think it's unusual to come across someone who's singularly one or the other. That's a very

[00:06:19] diplomatic answer. Because I think you're both subjective anyway. Yeah. I think you, there are,

[00:06:25] there are aspects of you that I find very impressive. And then overall, I find you very

[00:06:30] interesting. Oh, thank you. I also think you're both. I'd rather be interesting. I said to Laura,

[00:06:35] I'd rather be interesting because I want people to go, oh, I want to spend time with Meg because

[00:06:39] she's interesting. You can be impressive and still be the worst person in the world. And I

[00:06:43] think it was, no, actually, I'm not going to go there. I was about to mention dictators.

[00:06:49] Hitler was quite impressive. I mean, he achieved a lot. You can be impressive and it's still being

[00:06:56] negative. You can be infamous. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas I feel like being impressive is more of an ego

[00:07:03] thing. And that is like, yeah. I completely agree with you. My answer is interesting because I want

[00:07:08] people to want to spend time with me. Is it more important to, for people to think about you and be

[00:07:16] like, wow, that was amazing. But you're still just a fleeting thought or is it, is it better to

[00:07:23] really positively influence the people that are around you? And I think it's the second one.

[00:07:30] I've definitely told you to this, but I don't know if I've mentioned it on the pod. When I asked my mum,

[00:07:36] would you, do you want to be famous? And her answer, I think is the best answer that anyone

[00:07:40] could give. And she said, I would rather be well regarded in my own field. Renown.

[00:07:46] Yes. Renown. So she, you know, because that is when you said, we talked about this three years ago.

[00:07:53] Yeah. And I remember this conversation because that answer is exactly what I feel as well.

[00:07:58] Like if your peers and your colleagues think you're good at what you do, that is just as,

[00:08:07] if not more gratifying than being famous, because I think I'd be terrible at being famous.

[00:08:12] Well, yeah, you can be famous and the layman can be like, oh, they're good at that. But if people

[00:08:19] who are specialists in your field think you're great at something, then that's...

[00:08:23] That's good. That's fantastic.

[00:08:25] It means you're people who are good at the same thing that you're good at. I think you're great

[00:08:30] at it. And I'm also deeply paranoid. I just, being famous would kill me.

[00:08:35] No, I was literally, that's what I was going to say. I was like, I don't think you could handle

[00:08:38] the paranoia of that many people thinking about you.

[00:08:42] And this is why I'm in audio.

[00:08:44] Listen, I can't, Elsie can't do, you can't be famous because of the amount of times we've

[00:08:49] had to cut out you doxing us.

[00:08:54] That's awesome.

[00:08:54] Yeah, I'm accidentally giving away my address so much.

[00:08:58] But like, why did you mention the name of that one shop that's only on our high street?

[00:09:04] What, on my last radio show?

[00:09:06] Because it's local radio. It's difficult to avoid.

[00:09:10] I remember listening to you once and you gave a little bit too many clues about where we are.

[00:09:15] I walked past this one very specific thing on my way home from work.

[00:09:21] Yeah, and it was like, great. Well done. That's directly in between where you work and where we live.

[00:09:27] Fantastic.

[00:09:28] We're obviously not going to say it now, but it's like, yeah.

[00:09:32] We were like, Elsie, we were listening to her on the radio and we were, you can't listen back to this,

[00:09:37] which is fantastic. But we were like, don't ever say that again.

[00:09:41] And you were like, it's fine. And we were like, it is fine because you can't listen back to this,

[00:09:47] but don't do it again.

[00:09:48] I mean, it's fine because about 300 people listen to my show.

[00:09:51] I mean, it's not, you know.

[00:09:52] Yeah, but you could so easily say, I walked past this place.

[00:09:56] You don't need to say, on my way home from work.

[00:10:01] Just, I know this place exists is enough.

[00:10:04] Anyway.

[00:10:05] Anyway.

[00:10:06] Anyway.

[00:10:07] Shall we talk about the show?

[00:10:08] Shall we talk about the show?

[00:10:09] Nah.

[00:10:10] Nah.

[00:10:11] Can we go to the cinema, please?

[00:10:13] What?

[00:10:13] It's boring here. Can we go to the cinema, please?

[00:10:16] I'm sorry if you're bored, Steve, but this is my cat, Sable.

[00:10:20] I know.

[00:10:21] Who I love very much and who is currently in the middle of some very complicated surgery

[00:10:24] and I need to stay here to see if she makes it.

[00:10:28] Right.

[00:10:35] No.

[00:10:35] What?

[00:10:36] You've got to use your little time machine, go into the future and find out if Sable makes it.

[00:10:40] Come back and tell me just so you won't be bored so we can go to the cinema earlier.

[00:10:44] No, I was not.

[00:10:46] Yes, you were.

[00:10:46] I wasn't.

[00:10:47] I was going to go into the future and see if these shoes that I bought earlier

[00:10:50] got any more comfortable after I wore them for a few hours.

[00:10:54] That's all you're going to do?

[00:10:55] Yes.

[00:10:55] Promise.

[00:10:56] I promise.

[00:10:57] What kind of a person do you think I am?

[00:10:59] I'm sorry.

[00:11:00] It's okay.

[00:11:16] So?

[00:11:17] It dies.

[00:11:18] What?

[00:11:18] The cat.

[00:11:19] The cat doesn't make it.

[00:11:20] So, Sorry I've Got No Head was a sketch show for CBBC which started in 2008,

[00:11:27] so one year before Horrible Histories.

[00:11:29] They were doing sketch comedy with adult comedy performers and writers before Horrible Histories

[00:11:37] was.

[00:11:37] Different.

[00:11:39] How dare you stand where they stood?

[00:11:44] Different producers, different writers.

[00:11:47] I did try and compare and there isn't much crossover at all.

[00:11:52] Probably some costume crossover.

[00:11:53] Yeah, so Javone Prince is an actor who was in both and I cannot find another crossover.

[00:12:01] Yeah, I mean if you don't know the show, to be clear, why Elsie's brought it up is they

[00:12:04] are so similar.

[00:12:06] One's just got history as a backdrop.

[00:12:08] One's got an extra woman.

[00:12:15] One's obviously about history and they're trying to teach you about history while being funny,

[00:12:18] but the other one's just funny.

[00:12:19] Yeah.

[00:12:20] So these are some of the writers.

[00:12:22] So David Armand, who also performs in it.

[00:12:24] Mark Evans, who also performs in it.

[00:12:26] Justin Edwards, who also performs in it.

[00:12:29] Toby Davies, Chris Reddy, Murray Hunter, Marek Larwood, also a performer.

[00:12:34] James Backman, also a performer.

[00:12:36] Fergus Craig performs also.

[00:12:38] Sarah Morgan, James Harris, Marcus Brigstock performs.

[00:12:42] Jason Hasley, Joel Morris.

[00:12:43] So all these people that are writers on a lot of other comedy shows.

[00:12:48] The producers are Tom Miller, Jeremy Salsby, and the director is Ian Curtis.

[00:12:55] Imagine my surprise when I was looking through the Wikipedia and Ian Curtis is the director.

[00:13:01] Not that Ian Curtis.

[00:13:02] Okay, I was about to say, why do I know that name?

[00:13:04] He's dead.

[00:13:05] No, no, no, no.

[00:13:07] Yeah, a lot of the people you'll see on, like I've seen a lot of those people on panel shows.

[00:13:12] Panel shows in the last 15 years.

[00:13:15] Like I recognized a lot of them, yeah.

[00:13:17] It's been a long time since I've sat down, watched a show and been able to name everyone on the screen.

[00:13:23] Yeah.

[00:13:24] Like literally everyone.

[00:13:25] I was like, oh yeah, that's this person.

[00:13:27] I forgot that they were in this.

[00:13:29] I mean, I was 10 when this started and I did watch it and I did really enjoy it.

[00:13:34] Oh, that would be why I haven't seen it.

[00:13:35] I wasn't here.

[00:13:36] I'd left.

[00:13:37] There you go.

[00:13:38] So a lot of people in it, I knew through, sorry, I've got no head.

[00:13:44] So it was the first place I saw Nick Muhammad.

[00:13:46] It's the first place I saw Mel from Mel and Sue.

[00:13:49] I think the first place I saw Mel was Bake Off, I think.

[00:13:53] Yeah, that would make sense.

[00:13:54] Marcus Brigstock I knew from Stupid.

[00:13:58] I prefer this to Stupid, personally.

[00:14:00] I prefer this to Stupid.

[00:14:02] So what did you, because you didn't like it as a kid, right?

[00:14:05] No.

[00:14:06] No.

[00:14:07] We were talking about this and I think it falls into the similar vein of how we probably

[00:14:11] as little girls approached Dick and Dom, where we both kind of just turned our nose up at

[00:14:17] it and went like, not for us.

[00:14:20] This is base humor.

[00:14:21] Well, there's two ways you can go about it.

[00:14:23] So either you hated it like you hated Dick and Dom.

[00:14:28] When you watch it as an adult, you love it.

[00:14:29] Or you hate it like you hated Basil Brush.

[00:14:32] And when you watch it as an adult, you hate it more.

[00:14:36] Oh, I don't know.

[00:14:37] I was actually howling with laughter.

[00:14:38] It was so funny.

[00:14:40] I didn't watch as much as these two, unfortunately.

[00:14:42] But it is really funny.

[00:14:44] My favorite part is that there's this one sketch with Marek Lelwood and it's like, it's a sketch

[00:14:49] in between the sketches and he's called Remote Control Leg Man.

[00:14:54] And it must only be in there because it's just this guy whose legs are remote control

[00:15:01] and he's really good at moving like his legs are remote control.

[00:15:05] It's incredible.

[00:15:06] When you first said that to me, I completely misunderstood what you meant.

[00:15:10] I thought his legs were remote controls.

[00:15:13] No.

[00:15:15] They were remote controlled.

[00:15:17] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:15:17] Like in the wrong trousers.

[00:15:18] Yeah, I got it now.

[00:15:19] But I was sitting there going, oh, they put TV remotes for his legs.

[00:15:22] And he moves like he's bad at controlling his own legs.

[00:15:26] And it's so funny.

[00:15:27] And like most of the sketches are literally like 10 seconds.

[00:15:31] But he just moves.

[00:15:33] He just does it so well.

[00:15:34] Like that sketch actually wouldn't be in there if he didn't have that party trick.

[00:15:38] Like you know that that was written around Marek Lelwood.

[00:15:40] Yeah.

[00:15:41] Oh, now what?

[00:15:43] What a mess.

[00:15:44] How am I going to fix these shelves?

[00:15:46] Um, maybe my bees can help.

[00:15:49] I beg your pardon?

[00:15:50] I said maybe my bees can help.

[00:15:53] Your bees.

[00:15:55] I don't understand.

[00:15:56] Oh, these are no ordinary bees.

[00:15:59] Instead of you screwing shelf brackets into the wall, my bees will carry your shelves and your books on their backs while hovering in one place.

[00:16:09] No more shelf worries for you.

[00:16:11] Your bees can do that.

[00:16:12] More than that, they'll be happy to do it.

[00:16:15] These are generous and selfless bees.

[00:16:17] So the main performers are Marek Lelwood, Mel Gedroich, Fergus Craig, who we'll talk more about.

[00:16:25] I love that there's a Fergus Craig and a Craig Ferguson.

[00:16:29] David Armand, James Backman, Marcus Brickstock, Anna Crilly, Justin Edwards, William Andrews, Nick Muhammad.

[00:16:37] I might be missing a few because there are some that appear in, you know, season one and not in season two or three, for example.

[00:16:45] But yeah, there's three seasons, 39 episodes.

[00:16:50] And some lost media from what I was reading online, like on Reddit, there was some people saying there's some episodes that, well, kind of.

[00:16:56] I mean, I feel like they're on Bob.

[00:16:58] Yeah, it's not really lost.

[00:16:59] It's just really difficult to see anywhere.

[00:17:02] So we were watching it on Dailymotion because, see, I don't know if there's physical media of this.

[00:17:07] I think there is.

[00:17:09] Yeah, because, well, the Dailymotion videos was someone recording their DVD.

[00:17:13] Yeah.

[00:17:13] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:17:14] Or a very unlikely video, but, you know.

[00:17:17] Very unlikely.

[00:17:17] Exactly.

[00:17:18] I'm going to go out and say, no, it wasn't a VHS.

[00:17:21] There was never a VHS.

[00:17:23] I've not fact checked that.

[00:17:24] I just know it.

[00:17:25] I'm sufficiently certain that you're correct.

[00:17:27] Yes.

[00:17:28] So every performer, in my opinion, in this show is absolutely amazing.

[00:17:35] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:36] What are you doing with my maths book?

[00:17:38] No!

[00:17:39] Oh, it's my fancy hat.

[00:17:41] Ooh, nice.

[00:17:42] That's not a fancy hat.

[00:17:44] That's a maths book.

[00:17:45] I'm late for school, so come on, give it back.

[00:17:47] No!

[00:17:48] Tony's take is my new fancy hat.

[00:17:51] It's much too sophisticated for a stupid little boy.

[00:17:57] I haven't got time for this.

[00:17:59] Not so fast.

[00:18:00] Maybe you can have your hat back if I asked you a question.

[00:18:06] Just hurry up.

[00:18:08] Oh, I just think of a good one.

[00:18:10] Just try and focus.

[00:18:11] Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate.

[00:18:12] But I get nervous.

[00:18:15] Take some deep breaths.

[00:18:17] It's just a pressure thing.

[00:18:18] I don't want to pressure you, but time's ready to be now.

[00:18:21] Oh, I've got it now.

[00:18:22] I've got it, thanks.

[00:18:23] How many fingers am I holding up?

[00:18:30] Is it three?

[00:18:32] Oh, it's three!

[00:18:34] Oh!

[00:18:34] How did you get out of this possible?

[00:18:37] Doing maths, mate, maths.

[00:18:41] It's on the curriculum and there's nothing you can do about it.

[00:18:42] I don't care anymore!

[00:18:45] Until you're 16, I'm afraid, there's nothing you can do to get out of it.

[00:18:47] I don't even know what 16 is!

[00:18:49] Well, you should have paid attention in maths, shouldn't you?

[00:18:51] They all look like they're having such a fun time.

[00:18:54] They're all, I mean, I was reading through that list and I think a lot of them, a lot

[00:18:59] of that list were just writers, but some of them, it seems like they were performers

[00:19:02] that were given writing credits because it's, um...

[00:19:05] Ad-libbed.

[00:19:06] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:19:07] So there's a big long interview on the British Comedy Guide where they talk about the experience

[00:19:14] of making it and I will quote a little bit from that because I think it's really, really

[00:19:17] interesting.

[00:19:18] So this episode is...

[00:19:21] Our last one was very structured and there was lots of facts.

[00:19:25] This is going to be a pure filler talking about something that we like.

[00:19:30] So that's what you're in for.

[00:19:32] That's it.

[00:19:33] Which bits did you like?

[00:19:35] Old women?

[00:19:36] The two old women?

[00:19:37] Yes, James Backman and Marcus Brigstock.

[00:19:41] Ladies, can I help you, sir?

[00:19:43] Oh, yes.

[00:19:44] My friend wishes to buy a mobiler telephone.

[00:19:47] Yes, one mobicula phone, please.

[00:19:49] So she can bring her daughter.

[00:19:51] Okay, well, the, uh, the rumble that you've got here is one of our most popular.

[00:19:54] Can it call London?

[00:19:55] Yes.

[00:19:56] That's where she lives.

[00:19:57] Awful place.

[00:19:58] Old bin bags and hamburgers.

[00:20:00] Her number is 0207 946 0789.

[00:20:04] Can it call that number?

[00:20:05] Yes.

[00:20:07] How about 021 424 3921?

[00:20:10] Yeah, sure.

[00:20:10] I'm sure it can.

[00:20:11] Excellent.

[00:20:12] That's the butcher.

[00:20:13] I shall certainly want to call him.

[00:20:14] Now then, how about 077 00 909 996?

[00:20:18] Yeah, it can call any number.

[00:20:19] Any number at all?

[00:20:21] Yes.

[00:20:21] Can it ring 9?

[00:20:22] Yes.

[00:20:23] 2?

[00:20:23] Yes.

[00:20:23] 7?

[00:20:24] Yes.

[00:20:25] Can it ring 43?

[00:20:26] Yes.

[00:20:26] What a clever phone!

[00:20:28] Now, tell me, young man, this phone over here, how long is the lead?

[00:20:32] Lead?

[00:20:33] The lead?

[00:20:33] Yes.

[00:20:34] Let's say I'm standing in my hallway.

[00:20:35] She's just had it painted!

[00:20:37] Eggshell blue.

[00:20:37] Like a bunny rabbit's eyes.

[00:20:39] Would it reach to the kitchen?

[00:20:40] Yeah, you can take it anywhere.

[00:20:41] Anywhere?

[00:20:42] Yes.

[00:20:42] Anywhere at all?

[00:20:43] Yeah, anywhere.

[00:20:44] Look, you can take it anywhere in the country.

[00:20:45] So that sketch is the most remembered.

[00:20:50] I think that is the one that people quote from the early characters.

[00:20:52] Very iconic, not the guy with no head.

[00:20:55] Yeah, it's more iconic than the guy that doesn't have a head.

[00:20:58] Those sketches, I actually don't think are that funny.

[00:21:01] The one with William Andrews as a schoolboy, who every sketch is like,

[00:21:07] we said that if you did well on a test, we'd buy you a keyboard.

[00:21:13] Well, you got 70% of the test, so here's 70% of the keyboard.

[00:21:19] So he plays 70% of a song and then goes, can I go upstairs?

[00:21:24] And that's all of the sketches.

[00:21:27] Yeah, so this one really upset my mum.

[00:21:30] Like, when I was watching it as a kid, she was like, that's really sad.

[00:21:34] Evil.

[00:21:35] It's evil.

[00:21:35] Yeah.

[00:21:36] And now I'm watching it, you know, what, almost 20 years later,

[00:21:40] which is a disgusting thought.

[00:21:43] And she's right, it's sad.

[00:21:45] So the parents are like these sort of middle class,

[00:21:49] like he tries to hug the mum and she doesn't really respond

[00:21:52] and then he shakes hands with the dad.

[00:21:54] And every sketch he's given half a present that doesn't really work

[00:21:58] because he's, you know, he got an A instead of an A plus or whatever.

[00:22:02] Oh, that's awful.

[00:22:03] I know.

[00:22:04] And the punchline for every sketch is, can I go upstairs?

[00:22:12] It's amazing!

[00:22:13] It's a bike!

[00:22:15] You've got one wheel.

[00:22:17] Well, you only got 20 sponsors.

[00:22:20] Maybe if you tried a little harder.

[00:22:23] Can I go upstairs?

[00:22:27] And he delivers it in the most heartbreaking way.

[00:22:30] It's so good.

[00:22:31] And that's something that I want to talk about about this show.

[00:22:34] They're all adult performers.

[00:22:36] And so many times they're playing school children.

[00:22:40] My favourite part is knowing that William Andrews is there

[00:22:43] playing a school boy and he's 31.

[00:22:46] Or 32 or 33 or 34.

[00:22:48] Yeah, yeah.

[00:22:49] Or Fergus Craig is there playing a school boy and he's 28.

[00:22:53] I think he's like the youngest of the cast as well.

[00:22:55] And he's 28.

[00:22:56] And the parents are played by a 35-year-old.

[00:22:59] Like a 35-year-old Justin Edwards.

[00:23:03] Justin Edwards, who's I think about five years older than William Andrews.

[00:23:07] He's playing his dad.

[00:23:09] And it just looks right.

[00:23:10] It just looks right, yeah.

[00:23:11] Some of those performers are...

[00:23:13] It helps that Justin Edwards is massive.

[00:23:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:23:16] He's really tall.

[00:23:17] Some of those performers, they do play school children really well.

[00:23:21] So in this interview, Anna Crilly is talking about

[00:23:24] the North Barassay sketches.

[00:23:27] So that's another one of my favourites.

[00:23:29] So most of these sketches are fast show style,

[00:23:34] very quick, very nothing, very surface level, just silliness.

[00:23:38] And then I would say there's like two or three recurring sketches

[00:23:42] throughout the three seasons

[00:23:44] that are actually really quite emotional and kind of sad

[00:23:49] and like follow in that sort of British tradition

[00:23:51] of really bleak settings that you can get comedy from.

[00:23:56] And the North Barassay sketches is one of those.

[00:23:59] So it's the remote Scottish island with a school

[00:24:03] with one teacher and one...

[00:24:05] And the Hebrides.

[00:24:05] Yeah, one teacher, one pupil.

[00:24:07] And the whole setting is just so...

[00:24:09] It's so upsetting.

[00:24:12] This is the Outer Hebridean island of North Barassay.

[00:24:18] Valerie Carpenter is head and only teacher

[00:24:21] at North Barassay College for gifted children.

[00:24:25] I asked Valerie what made her come and want to teach

[00:24:27] on such a remote Scottish island.

[00:24:30] Well, I believe that every child should have the right

[00:24:35] to an excellent education, regardless, if you like,

[00:24:41] of their geographical circumstances.

[00:24:44] But you only have one student.

[00:24:50] Yes.

[00:24:52] And as a teacher, it's a rare opportunity to work

[00:24:58] in a one-on-one situation.

[00:25:02] You know, it's actually very rewarding

[00:25:05] dedicating yourself to exclusively shaping a young mind.

[00:25:11] Ross, would you stop clicking that pen?

[00:25:14] It is driving me mad.

[00:25:15] It's interesting because the Hebrides is where

[00:25:17] civilization in the British Isles started.

[00:25:20] Wow.

[00:25:22] Makes eyes just glazing over her.

[00:25:26] There used to be trees.

[00:25:28] That's why there's no trees on any of those islands

[00:25:30] and why it's so windy, because they cut down

[00:25:31] on the trees to make shit with.

[00:25:33] Wow.

[00:25:34] Wow.

[00:25:35] Interesting.

[00:25:36] So, yeah, it's a...

[00:25:37] She was just in her head, just went,

[00:25:39] is it...

[00:25:41] Like, fully...

[00:25:42] She did the head motion and everything,

[00:25:44] but she just didn't say it out loud.

[00:25:47] You know me so well.

[00:25:51] So, it's a sad little sketch.

[00:25:53] It's all very lonely.

[00:25:54] It's all very bleak.

[00:25:56] And...

[00:25:57] The teacher seems happy.

[00:25:58] She's not.

[00:25:58] Oh, okay.

[00:25:59] Oh, okay.

[00:26:01] The one sketch of this I saw,

[00:26:02] the student wasn't there.

[00:26:04] Maybe that's why she was happy.

[00:26:05] But there's so much anonymity between the two.

[00:26:10] Oh, no.

[00:26:11] Animosity.

[00:26:12] Animosity.

[00:26:12] Yeah.

[00:26:12] Between the two.

[00:26:13] What is going on with you guys

[00:26:15] and being able to say words today?

[00:26:17] Anonymity would be if they had masks on.

[00:26:20] Yeah.

[00:26:21] So, she said in this interview,

[00:26:23] it was so fun to watch James Backman

[00:26:26] tearing about pretending to be a seven-year-old

[00:26:29] when I know that he's hungover.

[00:26:32] Nice.

[00:26:33] I thought that was very funny.

[00:26:34] In fact, she said,

[00:26:35] well, most of us were hungover for...

[00:26:37] Most of it.

[00:26:38] For most of it, yeah.

[00:26:39] Yeah.

[00:26:40] But that's a sketch that I find really...

[00:26:44] That is one that particularly works well for adults.

[00:26:48] Yeah.

[00:26:49] Because it's kind of got more going on

[00:26:52] underneath the surface

[00:26:53] and the relationship between the teacher,

[00:26:55] the student,

[00:26:55] and like the three other members of community.

[00:26:59] Like, Justin Edwards plays a fisherman called Archie

[00:27:03] and he's basically their caretaker

[00:27:05] because there's fucking no one else on the island.

[00:27:08] And it's so sad and so funny.

[00:27:11] It's hilarious.

[00:27:13] It's so funny.

[00:27:14] And there's one sketch where

[00:27:17] William Andrews plays an exchange student

[00:27:21] from a remote part of Austria

[00:27:24] where he's the only student as well.

[00:27:26] And Mel Gedroich plays his Austrian teacher.

[00:27:29] And the two of them,

[00:27:31] like, this is the natural progression of that sketch.

[00:27:34] So it happens in like late season two, I think.

[00:27:38] And their accents, the way that they're...

[00:27:44] I mean, this is going to be, I think,

[00:27:46] a clip-heavy episode, unfortunately.

[00:27:49] Boss, you will join in.

[00:27:51] Oh, don't have to.

[00:27:52] Yes, you will have fun.

[00:27:57] Now you can perform the dancing.

[00:28:02] Hi.

[00:28:10] So it's normal for boys from this region

[00:28:12] to dance together like this?

[00:28:13] No.

[00:28:14] So much to do.

[00:28:15] For picking mushrooms and hunting schmarts

[00:28:18] and hiding chic.

[00:28:20] We played that roster the other day.

[00:28:22] He's very good at the game.

[00:28:23] It took me several hours to find him.

[00:28:26] Yeah, she never gave up, do you?

[00:28:27] She was in the woods.

[00:28:29] Seven miles away.

[00:28:31] Well, we didn't talk about the old lady one.

[00:28:33] Oh, the...

[00:28:34] Yes.

[00:28:35] Yeah.

[00:28:36] We hadn't properly talked about it

[00:28:36] because I saw...

[00:28:38] That was like the first one I saw

[00:28:39] that was the beginning of the first episode

[00:28:40] that I watched.

[00:28:41] And I paused it and went to get else

[00:28:43] to bring her a point at the screen

[00:28:45] and went, that's my grandma.

[00:28:46] I do believe that that was directly...

[00:28:50] That was directly the £1,000 ladies.

[00:28:52] That was directly based on a mother

[00:28:54] of one of the writers.

[00:28:55] If you take how they talk,

[00:28:57] turn it down like literally just a smidgen.

[00:29:01] Like 5%.

[00:29:02] 2.5.

[00:29:03] Tiny, tiny bit.

[00:29:05] That is Sally Connelly.

[00:29:06] Nothing's free these days.

[00:29:08] Because she's so angry all the time now

[00:29:10] because she had a hysterectomy.

[00:29:12] So, uh...

[00:29:16] So she's like angry a lot.

[00:29:19] She's got no oestrogen.

[00:29:20] She's got no oestrogen.

[00:29:21] And they took her womb.

[00:29:23] Give me that back now.

[00:29:25] But like, so she's got what she calls

[00:29:28] the little plastic hair colouring.

[00:29:29] She calls it her pixie.

[00:29:31] I don't know why.

[00:29:32] I don't know if that's the name for it.

[00:29:33] But she calls it her hair pixie.

[00:29:35] And she will put one of them...

[00:29:37] Diligently if it starts raining,

[00:29:38] she gets one of them out of it.

[00:29:39] She's got several.

[00:29:40] Gets one out of her bag.

[00:29:41] She's also really Irish.

[00:29:42] She's very Irish.

[00:29:43] If they had to help

[00:29:44] to colour this picture in for you a bit.

[00:29:48] Very Irish.

[00:29:48] I mean, we've already spoken

[00:29:49] about the house they live in

[00:29:50] which is covered in Mary's.

[00:29:52] And Jesus's.

[00:29:53] And Jesus's.

[00:29:55] No Joseph's.

[00:29:56] There's not a lot of iconography of Joseph.

[00:29:59] That is so true.

[00:30:00] You should recognise the father.

[00:30:01] I mean, not even the father.

[00:30:03] He's not the stepdaddy.

[00:30:04] He's the dad that stepped up.

[00:30:06] Hey!

[00:30:06] Yay!

[00:30:09] Who are you talking about?

[00:30:10] Joseph?

[00:30:12] I wouldn't be at all surprised

[00:30:14] if we didn't see any change

[00:30:15] from around about £1,000.

[00:30:18] £1,000?

[00:30:19] Yes, I should think

[00:30:20] around about £1,000.

[00:30:21] £1,000.

[00:30:22] Please, ladies,

[00:30:23] look, this phone retails

[00:30:24] at £55.

[00:30:25] £1,000!

[00:30:26] £1,000 is absurd.

[00:30:28] I shan't pay it.

[00:30:29] It's much too much money,

[00:30:30] £1,000.

[00:30:30] I shall write to my daughter instead.

[00:30:33] Come, Jasmine,

[00:30:34] let us go and buy

[00:30:34] those diamond-encrusted tweezers

[00:30:36] we saw in the case.

[00:30:37] Quite right, Prudence.

[00:30:38] As far as I'm concerned,

[00:30:39] you can put your little phone

[00:30:40] in your ear.

[00:30:40] That's the sketch

[00:30:42] that kind of has

[00:30:43] the most longevity.

[00:30:44] That's the one

[00:30:44] that's stuck around.

[00:30:46] You do hear people quoting.

[00:30:49] I won't pay a £1,000.

[00:30:50] It's disgusting.

[00:30:51] £1,000?

[00:30:51] £1,000 is too many pounds.

[00:30:54] Is Nick Muhammad

[00:30:55] in every single one of those?

[00:30:56] He is.

[00:30:56] He is the put-upon

[00:30:58] staff member

[00:30:59] in every single one.

[00:31:01] And they did make it hard for him.

[00:31:03] They ad-libbed certain lines

[00:31:04] to try and make him break

[00:31:05] because why wouldn't you?

[00:31:07] I like the one

[00:31:08] where Fergus Craig's a ghost.

[00:31:10] That one's good.

[00:31:11] Yeah, I liked that one.

[00:31:13] I'm delighted

[00:31:14] about the success

[00:31:16] of Fergus Craig.

[00:31:17] I think he should be

[00:31:18] more successful.

[00:31:19] Me too.

[00:31:20] I'm mad

[00:31:21] he's not more successful.

[00:31:22] It's wigging me

[00:31:23] that his name

[00:31:24] isn't Craig Fergus.

[00:31:25] That's not the way

[00:31:27] around you normally

[00:31:27] hear those.

[00:31:28] Fergus Craig

[00:31:29] is the guy

[00:31:31] on Twitter

[00:31:32] that does

[00:31:33] Martin Fishback.

[00:31:34] He's got like

[00:31:35] a series of

[00:31:36] viral

[00:31:37] Twitter videos

[00:31:39] where he plays

[00:31:39] a dad

[00:31:40] talking on webcam

[00:31:41] to his son

[00:31:42] and he managed

[00:31:44] to

[00:31:45] get a book

[00:31:46] series out of it.

[00:31:47] I think it started

[00:31:48] during COVID,

[00:31:49] didn't it?

[00:31:49] It did.

[00:31:50] And he's like

[00:31:51] on Zoom

[00:31:52] with his son

[00:31:53] and he's like

[00:31:55] this posh dad

[00:31:56] who doesn't really know

[00:31:57] how anything works.

[00:31:57] He's like

[00:31:58] I've started

[00:31:59] printing out

[00:32:00] Wikipedia.

[00:32:03] Yeah.

[00:32:04] I think it should

[00:32:04] maybe take me

[00:32:05] about two months

[00:32:07] and then I'm going

[00:32:08] to read Wikipedia.

[00:32:09] It's really funny.

[00:32:11] Oh that would be so

[00:32:12] It's legal tender

[00:32:12] Marcus.

[00:32:13] You should be able

[00:32:14] to take cash

[00:32:15] it's legal tender

[00:32:16] Marcus.

[00:32:17] Marcus.

[00:32:17] That would be so

[00:32:18] expensive.

[00:32:19] By that logic.

[00:32:20] Marcus your mother

[00:32:20] thinks

[00:32:21] and then it

[00:32:22] Marcus it's your father.

[00:32:23] It's your father.

[00:32:24] Yeah.

[00:32:24] It's like he can't

[00:32:25] see the screen

[00:32:26] properly.

[00:32:27] He's always

[00:32:28] squinting.

[00:32:29] And him

[00:32:29] and his wife

[00:32:31] had

[00:32:32] they were

[00:32:33] self-isolating

[00:32:34] from each other

[00:32:35] and she was

[00:32:35] living in the

[00:32:37] garage or something

[00:32:38] or she was making

[00:32:39] him live in the

[00:32:40] shed or something

[00:32:40] and he was like

[00:32:41] we're self-isolating

[00:32:42] but clearly

[00:32:43] she just kicked

[00:32:44] him out.

[00:32:45] I'm spending

[00:32:46] too much time

[00:32:46] with him

[00:32:47] I need to be away.

[00:32:48] They're really

[00:32:49] funny and

[00:32:49] he's developed

[00:32:51] this character

[00:32:52] over time

[00:32:53] where

[00:32:55] Martin Fishback

[00:32:56] is now a

[00:32:56] crime writer

[00:32:57] and he reads

[00:32:58] excerpts from his

[00:32:59] terrible crime novels

[00:33:01] and they are

[00:33:01] published now

[00:33:02] and you can

[00:33:03] read them

[00:33:03] and I just

[00:33:05] think he's a

[00:33:06] really really

[00:33:07] funny performer

[00:33:08] and writer

[00:33:10] he's very good

[00:33:11] so I yeah

[00:33:12] Fergus Craig

[00:33:13] in but the thing

[00:33:14] is he plays

[00:33:15] this character

[00:33:15] online and

[00:33:16] he doesn't

[00:33:17] really have a

[00:33:17] lot of hair

[00:33:17] anymore

[00:33:18] and when you

[00:33:19] watch

[00:33:20] Sorry I've Got

[00:33:20] No Hair

[00:33:21] which was

[00:33:22] 2008

[00:33:23] he's like

[00:33:24] a baby

[00:33:24] in it

[00:33:25] it was so

[00:33:25] surprising

[00:33:26] to go back

[00:33:27] I mean

[00:33:27] Meg and I

[00:33:28] were commenting

[00:33:28] on that

[00:33:29] when we were

[00:33:29] watching it

[00:33:30] yesterday

[00:33:30] like all

[00:33:31] these people

[00:33:31] are so young

[00:33:33] I

[00:33:34] in a

[00:33:35] I want to say

[00:33:36] symbol of fame

[00:33:37] but that's

[00:33:37] totally inaccurate

[00:33:37] when I was a

[00:33:38] kid

[00:33:38] this just

[00:33:39] reminded me

[00:33:39] of creating

[00:33:39] like posh

[00:33:40] characters

[00:33:40] when I was

[00:33:41] a kid

[00:33:42] I can't

[00:33:42] remember how

[00:33:42] old

[00:33:42] it's when

[00:33:43] we went

[00:33:43] on holiday

[00:33:43] to Spain

[00:33:44] we were

[00:33:44] in this

[00:33:44] one restaurant

[00:33:45] and me

[00:33:45] and Sean

[00:33:45] my brother

[00:33:46] cooked up

[00:33:47] these two

[00:33:48] characters

[00:33:49] called Margaret

[00:33:50] and Timothy

[00:33:51] and Margaret

[00:33:52] was an

[00:33:53] excessively

[00:33:53] posh lady

[00:33:55] and Timothy

[00:33:55] was her

[00:33:56] butler

[00:33:56] and we

[00:33:57] would just

[00:33:57] do little

[00:33:58] skits

[00:33:58] I remember

[00:33:59] it's because

[00:33:59] we didn't

[00:33:59] want to leave

[00:34:00] the restaurant

[00:34:00] because we were

[00:34:00] having fun

[00:34:01] and my brother

[00:34:02] and I would

[00:34:02] just go back

[00:34:03] and forth

[00:34:03] and be

[00:34:03] Timothy

[00:34:04] I don't

[00:34:05] remember

[00:34:05] anything else

[00:34:06] that's so

[00:34:07] cute

[00:34:08] my parents

[00:34:09] obviously

[00:34:09] remember quite

[00:34:10] clearly

[00:34:11] we were just

[00:34:12] having fun

[00:34:13] we wanted

[00:34:13] to continue

[00:34:13] being at

[00:34:14] this

[00:34:20] the playground

[00:34:20] was like

[00:34:21] on a little

[00:34:21] hill

[00:34:22] and there

[00:34:22] were swings

[00:34:22] in the

[00:34:23] playground

[00:34:23] and you

[00:34:24] could very

[00:34:25] much have

[00:34:26] accomplished

[00:34:26] swinging off

[00:34:27] the hill

[00:34:28] and probably

[00:34:29] breaking something

[00:34:30] if you wanted

[00:34:31] to

[00:34:31] if your parents

[00:34:31] properly left

[00:34:32] you unattended

[00:34:33] you were

[00:34:33] leaving with

[00:34:34] a broken

[00:34:34] leg

[00:34:34] this is the

[00:34:35] first time

[00:34:36] we took him

[00:34:37] in the long

[00:34:37] boat

[00:34:39] this is the

[00:34:40] first time

[00:34:40] Brunhilde and

[00:34:41] I took him

[00:34:42] out pillaging

[00:34:43] isn't he

[00:34:44] sweet

[00:34:45] of course

[00:34:45] Astrid and I

[00:34:46] are about to

[00:34:47] have our own

[00:34:47] baby viking

[00:34:48] chief

[00:34:48] do you have

[00:34:48] any tips

[00:34:49] oh well

[00:34:50] there's one

[00:34:51] thing that

[00:34:52] little Sven

[00:34:52] absolutely

[00:34:53] loves

[00:34:54] makes him

[00:34:54] howl with

[00:34:55] laughter

[00:34:55] go up to

[00:34:57] him like

[00:34:57] this

[00:35:00] got your

[00:35:01] nose

[00:35:07] the vikings

[00:35:09] else he

[00:35:09] hated

[00:35:09] it's just a

[00:35:10] bit boring

[00:35:11] I didn't hate

[00:35:11] the vikings

[00:35:13] something that

[00:35:15] they said

[00:35:16] in this

[00:35:16] interview is

[00:35:17] that the

[00:35:18] vikings was

[00:35:19] one that

[00:35:19] was one

[00:35:21] of the most

[00:35:21] fun to

[00:35:22] film and

[00:35:22] I so a

[00:35:23] lot of

[00:35:24] these I'm

[00:35:24] watching and

[00:35:25] I'm like

[00:35:26] I don't know

[00:35:26] if they're

[00:35:27] that funny

[00:35:27] but they

[00:35:28] probably

[00:35:30] laughed a

[00:35:31] lot

[00:35:31] before like

[00:35:32] the vikings

[00:35:33] because they're

[00:35:33] all around

[00:35:34] a table

[00:35:36] and they're

[00:35:36] it starts

[00:35:37] off like

[00:35:37] oh they're

[00:35:38] really scary

[00:35:39] and they're

[00:35:39] really vicious

[00:35:40] and then it

[00:35:41] just ends up

[00:35:41] with them all

[00:35:42] screaming and

[00:35:43] it will trigger

[00:35:43] the rest of

[00:35:44] them screaming

[00:35:44] and they're

[00:35:45] all just

[00:35:45] screaming like

[00:35:46] girls

[00:35:46] it's kind of

[00:35:47] funny the more

[00:35:48] you watch

[00:35:48] it the more

[00:35:48] it did grow

[00:35:49] on me but

[00:35:50] to be there

[00:35:51] around the

[00:35:51] table was

[00:35:52] probably

[00:35:52] really really

[00:35:53] fun

[00:35:53] yeah just

[00:35:54] on because

[00:35:55] I saw two

[00:35:55] of those and

[00:35:56] it was just

[00:35:57] like not

[00:35:58] in necessarily

[00:35:59] a bad way but

[00:35:59] just like slightly

[00:36:00] juvenile in a

[00:36:01] way that doesn't

[00:36:02] translate super

[00:36:03] well to an adult

[00:36:04] audience like it

[00:36:05] did look fun to

[00:36:05] record do you know

[00:36:06] that word viking is

[00:36:07] actually it's

[00:36:08] replies to it

[00:36:09] go on

[00:36:13] it's a job

[00:36:13] a job

[00:36:14] it's a job

[00:36:16] oh yeah

[00:36:16] you can get it

[00:36:17] if it's a job

[00:36:18] raider basically

[00:36:19] oh okay

[00:36:20] what about

[00:36:21] anna crilly's

[00:36:22] character who

[00:36:22] wears a purple

[00:36:23] dress

[00:36:23] what did she

[00:36:24] say I've

[00:36:25] gone big in

[00:36:26] my smalls

[00:36:27] oh sorry

[00:36:28] I was thinking

[00:36:29] of anna crilly's

[00:36:30] character

[00:36:30] the embarrassed

[00:36:32] woman

[00:36:32] she talks like

[00:36:34] this and she's

[00:36:34] very embarrassed

[00:36:35] all the time

[00:36:35] and when she

[00:36:36] gets extra

[00:36:36] embarrassed she

[00:36:37] blows up like

[00:36:37] a balloon

[00:36:38] very much like

[00:36:38] the violet

[00:36:40] Beauregard

[00:36:41] yeah yeah yeah

[00:36:42] oh by the way

[00:36:43] Louise you've

[00:36:43] just got a bit

[00:36:44] of something

[00:36:44] right there

[00:36:45] just a bit of

[00:36:46] food or

[00:36:46] something

[00:36:48] oh how

[00:36:49] embarrassing

[00:36:51] oh no

[00:36:52] oh goodness

[00:36:52] oh no

[00:36:55] oh I'm sorry

[00:36:57] oh it's happening

[00:36:58] again isn't it

[00:36:59] I don't know

[00:37:00] what you mean

[00:37:00] I've got food

[00:37:01] on my face

[00:37:01] no Louise

[00:37:03] nothing's happening

[00:37:05] oh no

[00:37:07] what have I eaten

[00:37:08] how long's it

[00:37:08] been there for

[00:37:09] oh god

[00:37:10] what is it

[00:37:11] I've got to get

[00:37:23] out of here

[00:37:24] as a kid I don't

[00:37:26] think I found it

[00:37:26] that funny and

[00:37:27] then watching it

[00:37:29] yesterday the idea

[00:37:30] of a woman that

[00:37:31] gets embarrassed

[00:37:32] and blows up

[00:37:32] I don't know I

[00:37:34] found that really

[00:37:34] hilarious

[00:37:35] I don't know why

[00:37:36] how keyed up on

[00:37:40] embarrassment were

[00:37:41] you when you

[00:37:42] were 10 like

[00:37:42] how

[00:37:42] oh yeah very

[00:37:43] embarrassed

[00:37:44] oh okay

[00:37:44] never never

[00:37:45] oh Elsie is one

[00:37:46] of the most

[00:37:46] embarrassed people

[00:37:47] I've ever met

[00:37:48] I'm embarrassed

[00:37:48] all the time

[00:37:49] you have such a

[00:37:51] high cringe detector

[00:37:53] yeah I know I

[00:37:55] really do

[00:37:56] yeah

[00:37:58] it's just but this

[00:37:59] sketch is like so

[00:38:00] stupid

[00:38:01] it was like when I

[00:38:02] was a kid it was

[00:38:03] too stupid for me

[00:38:04] and now I'm like

[00:38:05] why film this

[00:38:07] the fact that it

[00:38:07] exists is so dumb

[00:38:09] it's funny

[00:38:09] but yeah talk about

[00:38:11] the um the blueberry

[00:38:12] lady

[00:38:18] but she's she's

[00:38:19] what do your

[00:38:20] impression of her

[00:38:21] because she's so

[00:38:22] funny

[00:38:22] she's so funny

[00:38:23] so she she wears

[00:38:24] like 70s glasses

[00:38:25] and she's like on a

[00:38:26] cooking show but

[00:38:27] she's always using

[00:38:28] blueberries

[00:38:30] juices really are a

[00:38:31] fantastic way to

[00:38:32] get some of your

[00:38:33] five a day

[00:38:33] here are the juices

[00:38:34] you can make

[00:38:36] I've got an orange

[00:38:37] I've got a mango

[00:38:38] I've got a cranberry

[00:38:39] I've got a grapefruit

[00:38:40] but you don't need an

[00:38:41] electric blender to

[00:38:43] stay healthy

[00:38:44] I'm going to show

[00:38:45] you how to make my

[00:38:46] favorite blueberry

[00:38:50] juice the old

[00:38:51] fashioned way

[00:38:52] now this really is

[00:38:54] just a bit of fun

[00:38:55] you need to take off

[00:38:56] your shoes and socks

[00:38:57] roll up your trousers

[00:38:58] or skirt you could be

[00:39:00] wearing a skirt

[00:39:02] and get stuck in

[00:39:03] and when she says

[00:39:04] every time she says

[00:39:05] the word blueberry

[00:39:06] she farts and her

[00:39:07] hair blows up

[00:39:09] which sounds not that

[00:39:11] funny but it is

[00:39:12] because Anna Crilly

[00:39:13] just

[00:39:14] just because you have

[00:39:15] to do the impression

[00:39:16] I wanted you to do

[00:39:17] that's where I was

[00:39:18] going with this

[00:39:18] I wanted you to do

[00:39:19] a good impression

[00:39:20] how does she talk

[00:39:21] I can't I need to

[00:39:22] think of a line that

[00:39:23] she says before I

[00:39:24] can like do an

[00:39:25] impression

[00:39:25] big in Miss

[00:39:26] malls

[00:39:26] I'll need to go

[00:39:27] I've got all big

[00:39:28] in Miss malls

[00:39:28] I'll need to go to

[00:39:29] the hosery department

[00:39:30] it doesn't require a

[00:39:31] trip to the hosery

[00:39:32] department

[00:39:33] yeah there was one

[00:39:34] thing that you did

[00:39:34] really good earlier

[00:39:35] but I can't remember

[00:39:36] what it was that she

[00:39:36] said

[00:39:37] she had some juices

[00:39:38] in front of her

[00:39:39] and she was like

[00:39:41] she's just weirdly

[00:39:42] aggressive

[00:39:42] yeah

[00:39:42] in the way she speaks

[00:39:43] I've got a pineapple

[00:39:44] I've got an apple

[00:39:45] I've got an orange

[00:39:46] I've got a grapefruit

[00:39:47] I've got a grapefruit

[00:39:48] you need to you need

[00:39:50] to roll your trousers

[00:39:50] up or a skirt

[00:39:51] you could be wearing

[00:39:52] a skirt

[00:39:52] so just just roll

[00:39:53] your trousers up

[00:39:54] or a skirt

[00:39:55] you could be wearing

[00:39:55] a skirt

[00:39:56] that's what I wanted

[00:39:56] to do

[00:39:57] why is it so funny

[00:39:58] so where's that

[00:39:59] accent from

[00:40:01] Yorkshire

[00:40:01] okay

[00:40:01] I think

[00:40:02] okay

[00:40:03] I love how many

[00:40:04] regional accents

[00:40:05] there are in this

[00:40:06] and as you said

[00:40:06] earlier Meg

[00:40:07] it's so that you

[00:40:08] can differentiate

[00:40:09] between the characters

[00:40:09] but I love

[00:40:10] I love all the

[00:40:11] different regional

[00:40:11] accents

[00:40:11] because regional

[00:40:12] accents

[00:40:12] can be so

[00:40:14] make life worth

[00:40:14] living

[00:40:15] can be so funny

[00:40:16] they make the world

[00:40:16] go around

[00:40:17] something that

[00:40:19] William Andrews

[00:40:20] does specifically

[00:40:21] is

[00:40:22] if it's like

[00:40:23] a tiny sketch

[00:40:25] where nothing

[00:40:26] much has happened

[00:40:26] like it lasts

[00:40:27] for like 20 seconds

[00:40:28] like there's one

[00:40:29] for example

[00:40:30] where

[00:40:30] he

[00:40:33] he's

[00:40:33] choosing the language

[00:40:35] on a film

[00:40:36] on a DVD

[00:40:37] and he chooses

[00:40:38] the wrong one

[00:40:39] by mistake

[00:40:39] and his friend

[00:40:40] sat next to him

[00:40:41] takes on the

[00:40:42] stereotypes of

[00:40:42] that country

[00:40:43] that's it

[00:40:44] that's the sketch

[00:40:45] but he's doing it

[00:40:47] in a Newcastle accent

[00:40:48] and it's like

[00:40:49] and he's really good

[00:40:50] at it

[00:40:50] he's really good

[00:40:51] he's very

[00:40:51] William Andrews

[00:40:52] is very good

[00:40:52] at accents

[00:40:53] and it's one of those

[00:40:54] where it's like

[00:40:54] how many characters

[00:40:56] am I playing

[00:40:56] and how many voices

[00:40:57] have I got left

[00:40:58] and he does that

[00:40:59] more than any

[00:40:59] of the others

[00:41:00] I think

[00:41:00] one I really like

[00:41:01] is the

[00:41:02] it's like

[00:41:04] the green room

[00:41:05] of a video game

[00:41:07] like

[00:41:08] so

[00:41:08] they're basically

[00:41:09] like in

[00:41:10] in the break room

[00:41:11] and the door

[00:41:13] slides open

[00:41:14] and someone

[00:41:15] it's like

[00:41:16] a character

[00:41:17] is just like

[00:41:17] someone's just

[00:41:18] turned off a video game

[00:41:19] and this character

[00:41:19] has just been released

[00:41:20] from their video game world

[00:41:21] and it's like

[00:41:22] how was it

[00:41:23] how were the slopes

[00:41:24] yeah

[00:41:26] oh that could be

[00:41:27] so good

[00:41:28] yeah

[00:41:28] and they're like

[00:41:29] do you remember

[00:41:30] that time

[00:41:31] that

[00:41:32] he left me on pause

[00:41:33] and went to Norway

[00:41:35] yeah

[00:41:35] that was a horrible weekend

[00:41:37] you could do Lara Croft

[00:41:39] really funnily

[00:41:39] and just get Mel

[00:41:40] in like a very

[00:41:42] squared off bra

[00:41:44] like oh

[00:41:44] I'm so tired

[00:41:45] they had me to swap

[00:41:46] so Marek Larwood

[00:41:47] is dressed up

[00:41:48] like a badger

[00:41:49] and his job

[00:41:49] is to run around

[00:41:51] collecting apples

[00:41:51] and that's his character

[00:41:53] and Anna Creely

[00:41:54] is like this pink haired lady

[00:41:56] who does like

[00:41:57] ski sloping

[00:41:58] like racing

[00:41:59] and

[00:42:00] William Andrews

[00:42:01] is

[00:42:01] I almost called him

[00:42:02] Willie Andrews

[00:42:03] and I'll explain why

[00:42:04] in a minute

[00:42:05] he plays like an elf

[00:42:06] in a kind of

[00:42:07] what would you call it

[00:42:09] Laura

[00:42:09] you're the gamer

[00:42:10] where would you find

[00:42:11] an elf in a video game

[00:42:13] many video games

[00:42:14] like an open world

[00:42:15] kind of one

[00:42:16] yeah RPG

[00:42:17] yeah

[00:42:17] fucking Baldur's Gate

[00:42:19] fucking Lord of the Rings

[00:42:20] yeah

[00:42:20] something like that

[00:42:21] what's the matter

[00:42:22] I've lost my keys

[00:42:24] oh not again

[00:42:25] where did you have

[00:42:26] some last

[00:42:27] well I had them

[00:42:28] in the cursed forest

[00:42:29] of Haridan

[00:42:30] I'm sure I had them

[00:42:31] crossing the river of doom

[00:42:33] but after that

[00:42:34] I'm just not sure

[00:42:35] why have you checked

[00:42:36] your inventory

[00:42:37] because

[00:42:37] that's where I always

[00:42:39] find my stuff

[00:42:39] ten times

[00:42:41] there's some keys

[00:42:42] down here

[00:42:43] what's on them

[00:42:44] looks like

[00:42:45] a horse king

[00:42:48] by clock

[00:42:50] oh

[00:42:51] and

[00:42:52] the seven jeweled

[00:42:53] golden key

[00:42:54] to the kingdom

[00:42:55] of the dwarf

[00:42:56] they're mine

[00:42:57] and they're just

[00:42:58] having conversations

[00:42:59] backstage

[00:42:59] and that's

[00:43:00] that's a funny one

[00:43:00] but that one

[00:43:01] had a spin-off

[00:43:02] and it was called

[00:43:04] Pixel Face

[00:43:05] is that a spin-off

[00:43:06] from that

[00:43:07] yeah

[00:43:07] I've heard of Pixel

[00:43:08] yeah

[00:43:09] no that's

[00:43:10] spun-off from that

[00:43:11] um

[00:43:12] I don't think

[00:43:13] Marek Larwood's in it

[00:43:14] but um

[00:43:14] I think Anna Crilley's

[00:43:16] in it

[00:43:16] and William Andrews

[00:43:17] is definitely in it

[00:43:18] and it's got a lot

[00:43:19] more

[00:43:20] um

[00:43:22] it's got a lot

[00:43:23] more characters

[00:43:24] and that was a

[00:43:25] whole sitcom

[00:43:26] that went for like

[00:43:27] I don't know

[00:43:28] like two seasons

[00:43:29] or something like that

[00:43:30] and that was quite good

[00:43:31] actually

[00:43:31] but yeah

[00:43:32] another one I like

[00:43:33] is the one

[00:43:34] where Marek Larwood

[00:43:35] is playing

[00:43:36] the imaginary friend

[00:43:38] oh my god

[00:43:39] so good

[00:43:39] so it's like

[00:43:40] this guy

[00:43:41] is

[00:43:42] what's his name

[00:43:43] play

[00:43:44] who's he played by

[00:43:45] James Backman

[00:43:46] James Backman

[00:43:46] brings Marek Larwood

[00:43:47] who's his imaginary friend

[00:43:49] but he's obviously

[00:43:50] not imaginary

[00:43:50] to William Andrews' house

[00:43:52] and they're like

[00:43:54] playing a video game

[00:43:55] or they're doing whatever

[00:43:56] and he's like

[00:43:56] you can't give

[00:43:57] an imaginary boy

[00:43:58] a real controller

[00:44:00] you've got to give him

[00:44:00] an imaginary controller

[00:44:02] there you go

[00:44:03] I can't drink this

[00:44:05] I can't drink that

[00:44:06] I can't drink this

[00:44:08] I can't drink that

[00:44:09] why can't he drink it

[00:44:10] because it's real

[00:44:12] come on mum

[00:44:13] keep up

[00:44:13] you can't give

[00:44:14] an imaginary person

[00:44:15] a real cup of tea

[00:44:16] where are your manners

[00:44:18] you rude woman

[00:44:20] you rude rude woman

[00:44:22] it didn't

[00:44:30] it's all imaginary

[00:44:30] yeah it's only for 10

[00:44:31] isn't it

[00:44:32] so go on then

[00:44:33] give him an imaginary

[00:44:34] cup of tea

[00:44:35] I am not giving him

[00:44:37] an imaginary cup of tea

[00:44:38] go on mum

[00:44:38] please

[00:44:39] it'll be fun

[00:44:40] go on then

[00:44:42] there you go

[00:44:45] what's this

[00:44:46] it's an imaginary

[00:44:47] cup of tea

[00:44:48] no it's not

[00:44:49] you stupid woman

[00:44:51] come on

[00:44:52] do it properly

[00:44:53] he's not an idiot

[00:44:54] no

[00:44:54] he's imaginary

[00:44:56] and Mara Klawer was like

[00:44:57] hello

[00:45:03] can I play

[00:45:04] well I can't use this

[00:45:06] can I

[00:45:07] because it's real

[00:45:08] it sounded like

[00:45:09] a horrid Henry

[00:45:10] character

[00:45:10] just then

[00:45:13] something that

[00:45:14] me and Arthur

[00:45:15] and Betty

[00:45:15] quote it

[00:45:16] a lot

[00:45:17] and I didn't

[00:45:18] realise

[00:45:18] I didn't remember

[00:45:19] that it was

[00:45:19] from this sketch

[00:45:20] so I watched it

[00:45:22] yesterday

[00:45:22] and I was like

[00:45:22] that's what

[00:45:23] we've been saying

[00:45:24] all these years

[00:45:25] so whenever

[00:45:26] the imaginary

[00:45:27] friend

[00:45:28] Mara Klawer

[00:45:28] has to interact

[00:45:30] with a real person

[00:45:31] that's not in

[00:45:32] on the bit

[00:45:33] like for example

[00:45:35] someone will

[00:45:36] offer him

[00:45:36] biscuits

[00:45:37] biscuits

[00:45:37] and he's like

[00:45:38] I can't eat

[00:45:39] those

[00:45:41] they're real

[00:45:42] and then he'll

[00:45:43] say

[00:45:44] you rude boy

[00:45:46] or you rude

[00:45:47] woman

[00:45:48] and you rude

[00:45:49] boy

[00:45:49] and you rude

[00:45:50] woman

[00:45:50] in that voice

[00:45:51] is something

[00:45:52] I've heard you

[00:45:53] say that

[00:45:53] I love it

[00:45:55] when his mate

[00:45:56] who brings him

[00:45:56] along everywhere

[00:45:57] goes

[00:45:57] it'll be

[00:45:58] brilliant fun

[00:46:00] that is so

[00:46:01] accurate to how

[00:46:02] British boys

[00:46:03] speak

[00:46:03] no it's not

[00:46:05] it'll be

[00:46:05] brilliant fun

[00:46:06] it's how

[00:46:07] boys don't

[00:46:08] learn the word

[00:46:09] brilliant till

[00:46:10] they're about

[00:46:10] 21

[00:46:11] it's how

[00:46:12] 31 year old

[00:46:13] actors play

[00:46:14] 7 year olds

[00:46:15] great fun

[00:46:15] no one's just

[00:46:16] brilliant

[00:46:16] in fact I don't

[00:46:17] even know what

[00:46:17] the kids say

[00:46:18] these days

[00:46:18] it'll be

[00:46:19] skibbity

[00:46:21] toilet

[00:46:22] wrist

[00:46:22] all the

[00:46:25] gats

[00:46:26] it'll be

[00:46:26] so fine

[00:46:28] sigma

[00:46:29] fun

[00:46:30] thing is I

[00:46:30] know the

[00:46:31] meaning of

[00:46:31] all those

[00:46:32] words

[00:46:32] I don't

[00:46:33] know the

[00:46:34] meaning of

[00:46:34] any of

[00:46:34] those

[00:46:35] words

[00:46:35] oh I

[00:46:36] need to

[00:46:36] introduce

[00:46:36] you to

[00:46:36] the

[00:46:37] wrist

[00:46:37] when you

[00:46:38] say

[00:46:38] wrist

[00:46:39] to me

[00:46:40] you're

[00:46:41] just

[00:46:41] talking

[00:46:41] about

[00:46:42] papes

[00:46:43] can you

[00:46:44] pass me

[00:46:45] a

[00:46:45] wrist

[00:46:45] oh you

[00:46:45] want a

[00:46:46] cigarette

[00:46:46] paper

[00:46:47] have you

[00:46:57] the

[00:46:57] whole

[00:46:57] season

[00:46:58] like it's

[00:46:59] it develops

[00:47:00] a story

[00:47:00] it's really

[00:47:01] good

[00:47:01] you're asking

[00:47:02] me

[00:47:03] like in a

[00:47:04] similar vein

[00:47:04] to when my

[00:47:05] dad goes

[00:47:05] oh just

[00:47:06] eat olives

[00:47:06] for 21

[00:47:07] days in a

[00:47:07] row and

[00:47:08] you'll like

[00:47:08] olives

[00:47:09] you're asking

[00:47:09] me to watch

[00:47:10] something I

[00:47:10] don't like

[00:47:11] until I

[00:47:11] like it

[00:47:12] no but

[00:47:12] it's

[00:47:13] very big

[00:47:13] of us

[00:47:14] to sit

[00:47:14] here going

[00:47:15] yeah it's

[00:47:16] really funny

[00:47:16] when he

[00:47:16] goes rude

[00:47:17] boy

[00:47:19] but skibbity

[00:47:20] toilet

[00:47:21] I draw the

[00:47:22] line at

[00:47:22] that

[00:47:22] I'm above

[00:47:24] skibbity

[00:47:24] toilet

[00:47:25] rude boy

[00:47:26] rude woman

[00:47:28] that's totally

[00:47:29] fair but I

[00:47:30] have seen

[00:47:30] both and I

[00:47:32] didn't like

[00:47:32] one of them

[00:47:34] right fair

[00:47:34] enough

[00:47:35] I think the

[00:47:35] head's really

[00:47:35] funny

[00:47:36] it's really

[00:47:36] funny

[00:47:37] that's where

[00:47:37] his head

[00:47:37] went

[00:47:39] oh

[00:47:40] is the

[00:47:41] skibbity

[00:47:42] toilet where

[00:47:42] the sorry

[00:47:43] I've got no

[00:47:43] head man

[00:47:44] lost his

[00:47:45] head

[00:47:45] we've not even

[00:47:46] talked about that

[00:47:47] sketch yet

[00:47:47] it's not that

[00:47:48] good

[00:47:48] I like that

[00:47:50] one

[00:47:50] it wasn't in

[00:47:51] either of the

[00:47:52] episodes

[00:47:52] it's a man

[00:47:53] that's missing

[00:47:53] a head and

[00:47:54] he just runs

[00:47:54] into things

[00:47:55] I mean that's

[00:47:56] that's it

[00:47:56] really

[00:47:56] well they ask

[00:47:57] his friends

[00:47:58] right so

[00:47:58] we watched one

[00:48:00] the other day

[00:48:00] where he's

[00:48:01] making smoothies

[00:48:02] for his friends

[00:48:03] and he's making

[00:48:03] a real mess

[00:48:04] of it because

[00:48:05] he's got no

[00:48:05] head

[00:48:06] his catchphrase

[00:48:07] is sorry

[00:48:08] I've got no

[00:48:08] head

[00:48:09] his friends

[00:48:10] are looking

[00:48:10] at watching

[00:48:11] him like

[00:48:12] how's your

[00:48:13] head

[00:48:13] I've had

[00:48:13] lots of

[00:48:14] complaints

[00:48:15] and then

[00:48:16] the funny

[00:48:17] part of

[00:48:17] the joke

[00:48:18] is that

[00:48:19] he's got

[00:48:19] the best

[00:48:20] looking smoothie

[00:48:20] and they've

[00:48:21] got shit

[00:48:22] looking smoothies

[00:48:22] and he's like

[00:48:23] oh sorry

[00:48:23] I've got no

[00:48:23] head

[00:48:23] and they're

[00:48:24] like oh

[00:48:24] great

[00:48:24] it's like

[00:48:25] well you

[00:48:25] shouldn't have

[00:48:26] let him

[00:48:26] make the

[00:48:27] smoothie

[00:48:27] then

[00:48:27] you can

[00:48:28] say

[00:48:28] by the

[00:48:28] way

[00:48:29] you've

[00:48:29] got no

[00:48:29] head

[00:48:29] and you're

[00:48:30] gonna really

[00:48:30] mess up my

[00:48:31] garden if

[00:48:31] you do that

[00:48:33] it's very

[00:48:34] refreshing for

[00:48:35] media where

[00:48:36] someone without

[00:48:36] a head

[00:48:37] actually can't

[00:48:37] see

[00:48:38] usually they

[00:48:38] can miraculously

[00:48:39] see

[00:48:40] it's really

[00:48:40] refreshing to

[00:48:41] see a bit of

[00:48:42] no head

[00:48:42] representation

[00:48:43] proper

[00:48:44] no head

[00:48:44] representation

[00:48:46] I'm tired of

[00:48:47] these headless

[00:49:34] how did I

[00:49:35] come up with

[00:49:35] it

[00:49:35] because kids

[00:49:36] do this now

[00:49:37] no but they

[00:49:38] are not kids

[00:49:39] no but I'm

[00:49:40] like how did

[00:49:40] you predict

[00:49:41] the future

[00:49:43] it's like

[00:49:44] it's like

[00:49:45] it's kind of

[00:49:46] like furries

[00:49:46] mixed with the

[00:49:47] girls who like

[00:49:48] to be horses

[00:49:48] what are the

[00:49:49] girls who like

[00:49:49] to be horses

[00:49:50] oh that's a

[00:49:50] whole sport

[00:49:51] it's not though

[00:49:52] the dressage

[00:49:53] sport thing

[00:49:54] the hobby

[00:49:55] it's hobby

[00:49:55] horsing and

[00:49:56] it's a sport

[00:49:57] in the same

[00:49:58] way that

[00:49:58] quidditch is

[00:49:59] sport in

[00:50:00] that when I

[00:50:00] walk past

[00:50:01] them playing

[00:50:01] quidditch on

[00:50:02] clapham common

[00:50:03] on a sunday

[00:50:04] morning I

[00:50:05] want to bully

[00:50:06] them

[00:50:06] it yeah

[00:50:09] one day we

[00:50:10] should walk

[00:50:11] by once with

[00:50:12] like fucking

[00:50:13] water guns

[00:50:13] I'm not really

[00:50:14] allowed to bully

[00:50:15] hobby horse

[00:50:15] girls because

[00:50:17] they're like

[00:50:17] 14 but

[00:50:19] those are

[00:50:20] grown people

[00:50:21] on clapham

[00:50:23] common playing

[00:50:23] quidditch and

[00:50:24] I'm like would

[00:50:25] you there's loads

[00:50:26] of grass here

[00:50:27] you'd have

[00:50:27] thought wouldn't

[00:50:28] you

[00:50:29] so the deer

[00:50:31] club sketch

[00:50:32] is a boy

[00:50:34] William Andrews

[00:50:36] he plays the

[00:50:36] most school boys

[00:50:37] he looks the

[00:50:37] youngest I

[00:50:38] think and

[00:50:39] he doesn't

[00:50:39] really fit in

[00:50:40] but he does

[00:50:41] wear antlers

[00:50:43] and he does

[00:50:44] hey you

[00:50:45] can't just

[00:50:45] come in here

[00:50:46] we need to

[00:50:47] talk

[00:50:48] your mother

[00:50:49] and I

[00:50:49] are worried

[00:50:50] about what

[00:50:50] well

[00:50:51] recently we've

[00:50:52] noticed that

[00:50:52] you've been

[00:50:52] getting into

[00:50:53] a lot of

[00:50:54] deer stuff

[00:50:54] so

[00:50:55] well don't

[00:50:56] you think

[00:50:56] it's a bit

[00:50:56] weird

[00:50:58] like that

[00:50:58] that bark

[00:50:59] chewing

[00:50:59] it's good

[00:51:00] for my teeth

[00:51:01] we think

[00:51:02] it's nice

[00:51:02] you've got

[00:51:02] a hobby

[00:51:03] yes yes

[00:51:04] hobbies

[00:51:04] are good

[00:51:05] like say

[00:51:07] taekwondo

[00:51:08] give it up

[00:51:09] dad

[00:51:10] I'm not

[00:51:10] going back

[00:51:10] to taekwondo

[00:51:11] well it might

[00:51:12] be a nice way

[00:51:12] to make new

[00:51:13] loads of

[00:51:14] people

[00:51:14] my age

[00:51:15] into

[00:51:15] ruminants

[00:51:16] all right

[00:51:16] well can

[00:51:17] you at least

[00:51:17] take the

[00:51:17] antlers

[00:51:18] off once

[00:51:18] in a while

[00:51:19] no way

[00:51:22] well it'd

[00:51:23] save you

[00:51:24] having to

[00:51:24] tidy your

[00:51:24] bedroom

[00:51:25] I'm keeping

[00:51:26] them on

[00:51:26] well how

[00:51:27] about just

[00:51:27] at meal times

[00:51:28] last time you

[00:51:29] reached for

[00:51:29] the peas

[00:51:30] it almost

[00:51:30] had my eye

[00:51:31] out

[00:51:31] you don't

[00:51:31] understand

[00:51:32] this is

[00:51:32] who I

[00:51:33] am

[00:51:34] you've got

[00:51:35] underpants

[00:51:35] on your

[00:51:35] antlers

[00:51:39] what's wrong

[00:51:40] with you

[00:51:40] now

[00:51:40] I'm expressing

[00:51:41] my anger

[00:51:42] going out

[00:51:43] where to

[00:51:44] clearing

[00:51:48] so he

[00:51:48] goes to

[00:51:48] a clearing

[00:51:49] and he

[00:51:50] comes across

[00:51:50] another girl

[00:51:51] who's doing

[00:51:52] this and

[00:51:53] he realises

[00:51:54] that there

[00:51:55] are more

[00:51:55] people like

[00:51:56] him

[00:51:57] sorry can I

[00:51:57] just say

[00:51:58] he doesn't

[00:51:58] hear her

[00:51:59] coming and

[00:51:59] she goes

[00:52:00] well you see

[00:52:01] I'm very quiet

[00:52:02] and light on my

[00:52:02] feet

[00:52:03] I move

[00:52:04] quite swiftly

[00:52:06] and he sees

[00:52:07] more of them

[00:52:07] and they're

[00:52:07] all in this

[00:52:08] clearing

[00:52:08] and she's

[00:52:09] like welcome

[00:52:10] to deer club

[00:52:11] and he's

[00:52:12] like wow

[00:52:13] that's amazing

[00:52:14] what do you

[00:52:15] guys do

[00:52:16] and she said

[00:52:17] well we

[00:52:17] mainly just

[00:52:18] sort of

[00:52:18] mill around

[00:52:19] and be

[00:52:19] acutely aware

[00:52:20] of our

[00:52:20] surroundings

[00:52:22] and the

[00:52:23] rest of

[00:52:24] the sketch

[00:52:24] like it

[00:52:25] goes on

[00:52:26] for I

[00:52:27] think it

[00:52:27] starts in

[00:52:28] season two

[00:52:28] and goes

[00:52:29] on to

[00:52:29] season three

[00:52:30] and there's

[00:52:31] like territory

[00:52:32] disputes

[00:52:33] and

[00:52:34] I've said

[00:52:35] this when we

[00:52:35] were watching

[00:52:36] it if this

[00:52:36] was the

[00:52:38] states or

[00:52:38] probably quite

[00:52:39] a few other

[00:52:39] countries they

[00:52:40] would all have

[00:52:41] been shot

[00:52:42] oh sure

[00:52:43] during hunting

[00:52:44] season

[00:52:44] well they did

[00:52:45] actually say

[00:52:46] that in

[00:52:47] this interview

[00:52:48] a lot of

[00:52:48] them say

[00:52:49] that deer

[00:52:49] club was

[00:52:50] their favorite

[00:52:50] because they've

[00:52:51] got to be

[00:52:51] very quiet

[00:52:52] and they

[00:52:53] just sort

[00:52:53] of make

[00:52:54] weird sort

[00:52:55] of hoof

[00:52:55] kind of

[00:52:56] gestures

[00:52:58] and

[00:53:00] Laura's

[00:53:00] imitating

[00:53:01] coconut

[00:53:02] shells

[00:53:03] and in

[00:53:04] this sort

[00:53:04] of like

[00:53:06] quiet

[00:53:07] outdoors

[00:53:07] setting

[00:53:08] it was

[00:53:08] like primed

[00:53:10] for them

[00:53:10] to just

[00:53:11] laugh

[00:53:11] because they're

[00:53:11] all speaking

[00:53:12] in these

[00:53:12] kind of

[00:53:14] muted

[00:53:14] tones

[00:53:15] but they've

[00:53:15] got these

[00:53:16] massive

[00:53:16] things on

[00:53:16] their heads

[00:53:17] and they're

[00:53:17] just sort

[00:53:18] of standing

[00:53:18] around in

[00:53:19] normal people

[00:53:20] clothes

[00:53:20] doing nothing

[00:53:22] and one of

[00:53:24] the producers

[00:53:24] said in this

[00:53:25] interview

[00:53:25] it goes above

[00:53:26] the heads of

[00:53:26] children it's

[00:53:27] too good

[00:53:27] it's too

[00:53:28] good for

[00:53:29] the show

[00:53:29] really

[00:53:30] did you

[00:53:31] know that

[00:53:31] female deer

[00:53:32] and if they

[00:53:33] have it

[00:53:33] they shed

[00:53:34] their horns

[00:53:34] sorry

[00:53:35] male deer

[00:53:36] shed their

[00:53:36] horns in

[00:53:37] winter

[00:53:37] but female

[00:53:38] deer or

[00:53:38] reindeer

[00:53:39] mostly don't

[00:53:40] so I did

[00:53:41] know that

[00:53:41] I also knew

[00:53:42] that

[00:53:42] so Rudolph

[00:53:43] is a woman

[00:53:43] we don't

[00:53:44] accept him

[00:53:46] oh but

[00:53:47] I wouldn't

[00:53:48] have bought

[00:53:48] the big size

[00:53:49] if I'd known

[00:53:50] that

[00:53:50] sorry I can't

[00:53:51] do nothing

[00:53:51] compared to

[00:53:52] you have to

[00:53:52] pay the full

[00:53:52] price

[00:53:54] right

[00:53:57] right

[00:54:27] what

[00:54:28] what

[00:54:28] one of the

[00:54:29] writers I think

[00:54:29] Sarah Morgan

[00:54:30] said that

[00:54:30] the deer

[00:54:32] club and

[00:54:33] North Barassay

[00:54:33] to her

[00:54:35] she finds

[00:54:36] them quite

[00:54:36] emotional

[00:54:37] sketches

[00:54:37] because there's

[00:54:38] like a sense

[00:54:38] of acceptance

[00:54:39] and community

[00:54:40] in them

[00:54:41] yeah I thought

[00:54:41] that when he

[00:54:42] was found

[00:54:43] by this deer

[00:54:44] club where he

[00:54:45] comes across

[00:54:45] them accidentally

[00:54:46] he's so happy

[00:54:48] it's lovely

[00:54:48] it's so just

[00:54:49] nice

[00:54:50] it's so nice

[00:54:51] they're much

[00:54:52] much more slow

[00:54:54] paced

[00:54:54] they're very

[00:54:55] different to the

[00:54:56] rest of them

[00:54:57] and I like

[00:54:58] them a lot

[00:54:58] I think they're

[00:54:59] really really

[00:55:00] good and I

[00:55:01] would watch

[00:55:01] a show

[00:55:03] with just

[00:55:04] those two

[00:55:04] honestly

[00:55:05] I feel like

[00:55:05] deer club

[00:55:06] if it was

[00:55:06] its own

[00:55:06] show

[00:55:07] would get

[00:55:08] tired

[00:55:09] quickly

[00:55:09] because I'm

[00:55:10] not sure how

[00:55:10] much plot

[00:55:11] you could wrangle

[00:55:13] out of that

[00:55:14] well

[00:55:16] I personally

[00:55:17] ship the

[00:55:19] main deer

[00:55:19] man and the

[00:55:20] woman that

[00:55:21] introduces

[00:55:22] him to the

[00:55:23] club

[00:55:23] in fact

[00:55:25] William Andrews

[00:55:26] and Anna

[00:55:27] Crilly are

[00:55:27] married

[00:55:28] so it's fine

[00:55:29] then

[00:55:30] I think that

[00:55:31] they met

[00:55:31] on the show

[00:55:31] you're allowed

[00:55:32] to ship them

[00:55:32] yeah

[00:55:32] I think they

[00:55:33] met on the

[00:55:34] show

[00:55:34] I don't know

[00:55:35] it's

[00:55:35] they

[00:55:35] it's quite

[00:55:36] the actor

[00:55:37] said that

[00:55:38] you know

[00:55:39] it's quite an

[00:55:40] incestuous

[00:55:40] community of

[00:55:41] you know

[00:55:42] British comedy

[00:55:42] actors

[00:55:43] incest

[00:55:44] like they

[00:55:44] were asked

[00:55:45] like is

[00:55:46] do you miss

[00:55:47] working with

[00:55:47] these people

[00:55:48] and they

[00:55:48] were like

[00:55:48] no

[00:55:49] we're around

[00:55:49] all the time

[00:55:50] there's like

[00:55:51] 10 of us

[00:55:52] we all live

[00:55:53] on the same

[00:55:53] street doing

[00:55:54] the same

[00:55:54] thing

[00:55:55] they have

[00:55:55] a little

[00:55:56] boy and

[00:55:57] Anna Crilly

[00:55:58] said we

[00:55:59] named him

[00:55:59] sorry head

[00:56:00] after the

[00:56:00] show

[00:56:06] oh that's

[00:56:07] so funny

[00:56:08] I've got such

[00:56:09] a horrible

[00:56:10] laugh

[00:56:10] no you don't

[00:56:13] what do you

[00:56:14] think about

[00:56:14] Emily and

[00:56:15] Monty Forrest

[00:56:16] Emily and

[00:56:18] Monty Forrest

[00:56:19] have been an

[00:56:19] acting singing

[00:56:20] and dancing

[00:56:21] duo for

[00:56:22] in that

[00:56:23] time they've

[00:56:23] auditioned for

[00:56:24] more than

[00:56:24] 17,000 roles

[00:56:26] together

[00:56:26] without success

[00:56:28] now of course

[00:57:18] you've probably

[00:57:18] got something

[00:57:19] pretty special

[00:57:20] lined up

[00:57:20] for the audition

[00:57:20] absolutely

[00:57:21] what better

[00:57:22] than a spot

[00:57:23] of magic

[00:57:23] to impress

[00:57:23] the judges

[00:57:24] win a few

[00:57:24] extra house

[00:57:25] points

[00:57:25] it's a classic

[00:57:26] illusion

[00:57:26] that Emily

[00:57:27] got out

[00:57:27] of a magic

[00:57:28] book

[00:57:28] and we

[00:57:29] built it

[00:57:29] last night

[00:57:30] so

[00:57:30] shall we

[00:57:31] show them

[00:57:38] now

[00:57:39] what we do

[00:57:39] is we put

[00:57:40] Monticus

[00:57:40] inside here

[00:57:42] oops

[00:57:42] there we go

[00:57:43] you open

[00:57:44] the griffin

[00:57:44] door

[00:57:45] I'll slither in

[00:57:46] just lower

[00:57:50] myself down

[00:57:50] there

[00:57:51] mind me

[00:57:51] hufflepuff

[00:57:53] little bit

[00:57:54] tight

[00:57:55] one too

[00:57:56] many puddings

[00:57:56] methinks

[00:57:57] Montgomery

[00:57:57] time to close my

[00:57:58] account at

[00:57:59] Bertie Botts

[00:58:02] your Kfz

[00:58:03] insurance

[00:58:03] will

[00:58:03] be

[00:58:04] teurer

[00:58:05] then use

[00:58:05] the opportunity

[00:58:06] and change

[00:58:07] to

[00:58:07] Allianz

[00:58:08] secure

[00:58:08] the Kfz

[00:58:09] insurance

[00:58:09] with the

[00:58:10] highest

[00:58:10] price

[00:58:10] performance

[00:58:11] already

[00:58:12] 99

[00:58:13] euro

[00:58:13] now

[00:58:14] now

[00:58:14] in the

[00:58:14] Allianz

[00:58:15] agent

[00:58:15] in

[00:58:15] your

[00:58:15] name

[00:58:21] We didn't get it.

[00:58:29] I absolutely love the pairing of Mel and Martin.

[00:58:34] Marcus Brickstock.

[00:58:35] Marcus.

[00:58:36] Yes.

[00:58:36] Mel and Marcus, excellent pairing.

[00:58:38] That's another quite emotional one,

[00:58:40] because it spends,

[00:58:43] each sketch with them spends about,

[00:58:45] I don't know, four or five minutes

[00:58:47] with them in queue auditioning,

[00:58:49] showing how enthusiastic they are,

[00:58:53] how happy they are to be there,

[00:58:54] how sure they are going to get the role.

[00:58:55] They've built the costumes themselves.

[00:58:57] They've planned every little second,

[00:58:59] and they're just so happy to be there,

[00:59:01] and they're so into the material.

[00:59:03] And then Gabriella Montez comes along.

[00:59:13] This is not what I want.

[00:59:15] This is not what I plan.

[00:59:18] And I just gotta say,

[00:59:20] I do not understand.

[00:59:23] Yeah.

[00:59:25] The punchline of each one of these sketches

[00:59:27] is them walking out of the room.

[00:59:29] You never see the audition,

[00:59:30] and Mel, every time she says it,

[00:59:32] it's slightly different,

[00:59:33] but more heartbreaking every time she says,

[00:59:36] we didn't get it.

[00:59:37] It's the same thing as,

[00:59:39] can I go upstairs?

[00:59:41] It's this show,

[00:59:42] like a few that we have done,

[00:59:45] where I've watched the episodes

[00:59:47] and been like,

[00:59:48] oh my God,

[00:59:49] I remember this word for word.

[00:59:51] Even though I thought I hated it as a kid,

[00:59:53] I clearly watched it enough

[00:59:54] to fucking remember it,

[00:59:55] didn't I?

[00:59:56] And those sketches

[00:59:58] were one of the ones

[00:59:59] that I remembered the most.

[01:00:01] And Graham Norton's voice.

[01:00:02] Yeah, it's actually Graham Norton.

[01:00:04] Yeah.

[01:00:05] I mean,

[01:00:05] he's probably down for a bit of fun

[01:00:06] every so often.

[01:00:08] Now,

[01:00:08] we've got a new student joining us today,

[01:00:11] and I don't want any of you teasing him

[01:00:12] because he's different,

[01:00:14] because of the way he looks

[01:00:15] or because of his accent.

[01:00:17] All right?

[01:00:18] Yes.

[01:00:19] All right, Jim,

[01:00:20] you can come in now.

[01:00:23] Everyone,

[01:00:24] this is Jim Bluebeard.

[01:00:27] He's a pirate.

[01:00:29] Who said that?

[01:00:31] Right, Jim,

[01:00:32] you can sit next to Lieutenant Richards.

[01:00:34] Oh, sir,

[01:00:35] does he have to?

[01:00:37] Oh,

[01:00:37] I see gold's up.

[01:00:38] Oh, good.

[01:00:40] Ah, Jim lad,

[01:00:42] how was school?

[01:00:43] Awful.

[01:00:43] They were all naval officers.

[01:00:45] They all hate me.

[01:00:46] Oh, Jim,

[01:00:47] I'm sure they're not all bad.

[01:00:49] They are.

[01:00:50] You don't know what it's like.

[01:00:51] Why couldn't I have stayed

[01:00:52] at my old school?

[01:01:03] It was a bad learning environment.

[01:01:05] I don't care.

[01:01:06] I want to go back.

[01:01:07] So they filmed

[01:01:08] about ten sketches a day.

[01:01:10] I mean,

[01:01:11] it's children.

[01:01:12] Exhausting.

[01:01:12] I mean,

[01:01:13] comedy is made on a

[01:01:15] really tight budget.

[01:01:17] Children's media.

[01:01:18] I mean,

[01:01:19] it's...

[01:01:19] Children's comedy.

[01:01:20] They get two pee

[01:01:21] and have to rub it together

[01:01:23] until they get some costumes.

[01:01:24] And with it being a sketch show as well,

[01:01:26] like,

[01:01:26] so much material,

[01:01:28] so many different costumes,

[01:01:30] so many different locations.

[01:01:31] They were busy.

[01:01:33] Fergus Craig said that there was,

[01:01:35] like,

[01:01:35] a day where he had food poisoning

[01:01:37] and he just had to film ten sketches.

[01:01:40] That's just how it works.

[01:01:42] I was telling you guys about this

[01:01:43] the other day.

[01:01:44] There was a time when

[01:01:45] at school,

[01:01:46] the school dinners,

[01:01:48] the chicken wasn't good

[01:01:50] and everyone...

[01:01:51] 40% of the school

[01:01:52] was out with food poisoning.

[01:01:54] That's horrible.

[01:01:55] For like a week.

[01:01:56] When I came back,

[01:01:57] my friends were like...

[01:01:58] The 60 strong percent.

[01:01:59] Yeah,

[01:02:00] when I came back,

[01:02:01] my friends were like,

[01:02:07] had all that snow.

[01:02:09] And I went to a high school

[01:02:12] where a lot of the people

[01:02:14] in that school

[01:02:15] came from the surrounding villages.

[01:02:17] So the only people

[01:02:19] who were in school

[01:02:20] were the people

[01:02:21] who were in walking distance

[01:02:22] of the school,

[01:02:23] which was like

[01:02:25] 30,

[01:02:26] 40% of the school.

[01:02:27] It was so quiet.

[01:02:28] We had a similar thing,

[01:02:29] but I think most of the people

[01:02:31] that went to my school

[01:02:32] were in walking distance

[01:02:33] of my school

[01:02:33] because we didn't live near a bridge.

[01:02:35] There's a village

[01:02:36] between the one I grew up in

[01:02:37] and the one next to it

[01:02:38] and not a village between.

[01:02:40] There's like a...

[01:02:41] Hamlet.

[01:02:42] There's a footpath between it

[01:02:44] that goes through the fields

[01:02:46] and someone who I knew

[01:02:47] lived in the other village

[01:02:49] had come to school

[01:02:50] and I was like,

[01:02:50] why didn't you just say

[01:02:51] you couldn't get on the bus?

[01:02:52] And he was like,

[01:02:53] my mum made me walk

[01:02:54] across the trots.

[01:02:56] We just called it.

[01:02:57] We tried.

[01:02:58] He was like,

[01:02:59] which is not a safe place

[01:03:00] to be when it's snowy

[01:03:01] and icy by the way.

[01:03:02] It was very slippery.

[01:03:03] He was like,

[01:03:04] yeah,

[01:03:04] my mum made me walk here.

[01:03:05] I was like,

[01:03:05] oh,

[01:03:06] that sucks.

[01:03:06] I'm sorry.

[01:03:08] And it's not like we were

[01:03:09] doing anything fun

[01:03:10] because no one was in the class

[01:03:12] so we were just sitting there.

[01:03:14] And also,

[01:03:14] I remember one,

[01:03:15] it was like a week

[01:03:16] or two weeks.

[01:03:18] It felt like a long amount

[01:03:20] of time.

[01:03:21] And then the gas broke

[01:03:23] and we were sent home as well

[01:03:25] because they're not allowed...

[01:03:25] Too cold.

[01:03:26] Well,

[01:03:26] no,

[01:03:27] it wasn't the heating.

[01:03:28] They're not allowed

[01:03:28] to keep you there

[01:03:29] if they can't feed you

[01:03:30] hot food or something.

[01:03:31] It's something about the law.

[01:03:32] They couldn't provide us

[01:03:33] with a hot meal

[01:03:34] so we had to go home as well.

[01:03:35] My school closed

[01:03:36] when it snowed

[01:03:37] not because people

[01:03:38] couldn't get there.

[01:03:38] All the students

[01:03:39] could get there

[01:03:40] because we all lived

[01:03:40] walking distance basically.

[01:03:42] The teachers didn't live

[01:03:43] walking distance

[01:03:44] and none of the teachers

[01:03:45] could drive in.

[01:03:46] Well,

[01:03:46] no,

[01:03:46] that was part of the problem

[01:03:47] that you went into school

[01:03:49] for the day

[01:03:50] to sit there

[01:03:51] with one of the

[01:03:51] three classes

[01:03:53] put together

[01:03:54] with a supply teacher

[01:03:56] who lived in the village

[01:03:57] because all the other ones

[01:03:58] are driving from

[01:03:58] 45 minutes away.

[01:03:59] I remember in college,

[01:04:02] so the college

[01:04:03] Meg and I went to,

[01:04:04] I lived in Hull

[01:04:06] so I could walk

[01:04:08] to college

[01:04:09] and a large percentage

[01:04:12] of that college

[01:04:13] was people from

[01:04:14] over the Humber Bridge

[01:04:16] so lots and lots

[01:04:17] of buses

[01:04:18] were outside the college.

[01:04:20] A lot of people

[01:04:21] got shipped in

[01:04:21] and Meg was one of them

[01:04:24] and so when you were

[01:04:25] walking home

[01:04:25] from college

[01:04:26] you would walk

[01:04:27] past a huge crowd

[01:04:29] of like

[01:04:29] at least 50%

[01:04:31] of the populace

[01:04:33] and is that

[01:04:34] the cohort?

[01:04:37] And

[01:04:37] more than 50%

[01:04:39] got on a bus.

[01:04:40] Yeah

[01:04:40] and I mean

[01:04:42] even people

[01:04:42] from Hull

[01:04:43] had buses.

[01:04:45] Anyway,

[01:04:45] we knew that

[01:04:46] there was a gas leak

[01:04:47] and we were expecting

[01:04:49] a text

[01:04:49] saying don't come in tomorrow

[01:04:51] and I was walking

[01:04:52] past the buses

[01:04:53] and like a big cheer

[01:04:54] went up

[01:04:54] and I was like

[01:04:55] everyone's got the text!

[01:04:57] Yeah,

[01:04:58] I remember

[01:04:59] vividly remember

[01:05:00] as a kid

[01:05:00] being sat

[01:05:01] in my parents

[01:05:02] room

[01:05:02] having the radio

[01:05:04] on

[01:05:04] waiting for them

[01:05:05] to announce

[01:05:05] the schools

[01:05:06] in the area

[01:05:07] that were having

[01:05:07] a snow day.

[01:05:08] I remember that.

[01:05:09] Not that

[01:05:09] I highly doubt

[01:05:11] that's how you do it now

[01:05:12] but I have like

[01:05:12] a fond memory

[01:05:13] of being sat

[01:05:14] next to their radiator

[01:05:15] and listen

[01:05:16] just wait

[01:05:17] my school

[01:05:17] was called White Grove

[01:05:18] so and they did it

[01:05:19] alphabetically

[01:05:19] so you're sat there

[01:05:20] for ages going

[01:05:20] come on

[01:05:21] come on

[01:05:22] there was a day

[01:05:23] at college

[01:05:24] where the previous day

[01:05:26] had been an open night

[01:05:28] and the college

[01:05:29] had received like

[01:05:30] a hoax bomb threat

[01:05:32] do you remember this?

[01:05:33] I remember that

[01:05:33] and someone had emailed

[01:05:34] and said

[01:05:35] and this was around

[01:05:36] the time where

[01:05:36] there were lots

[01:05:37] of those

[01:05:38] yeah

[01:05:38] while we were

[01:05:39] in that college

[01:05:40] they installed

[01:05:42] panic alarms

[01:05:43] panic alarms

[01:05:44] basically

[01:05:44] and I remember

[01:05:45] saying to

[01:05:46] we had the same

[01:05:46] tutor

[01:05:46] I remember

[01:05:47] saying to my

[01:05:47] form tutor

[01:05:48] she was like

[01:05:49] you hear the alarm

[01:05:50] you just get out

[01:05:51] run

[01:05:52] you know like

[01:05:53] with a fire alarm

[01:05:54] there's like an

[01:05:54] assembly point

[01:05:55] and there's none

[01:05:56] of that

[01:05:56] the instructions

[01:05:57] for these were

[01:05:58] just get out

[01:05:59] however you can

[01:06:00] I can't remember

[01:06:01] when it was put

[01:06:02] into place

[01:06:03] but we had a

[01:06:03] similar thing

[01:06:04] and we did

[01:06:04] one drill

[01:06:05] our school

[01:06:07] was on 90 acres

[01:06:08] in the middle

[01:06:09] of fucking nowhere

[01:06:09] and we did

[01:06:11] one drill

[01:06:11] and it was like

[01:06:12] what you need

[01:06:12] to do

[01:06:13] is go to

[01:06:14] the fence

[01:06:15] and if you

[01:06:16] if you're at

[01:06:16] the side

[01:06:17] of the school

[01:06:17] where the fence

[01:06:18] is on a

[01:06:18] massive steep hill

[01:06:20] don't climb it

[01:06:21] just walk along

[01:06:22] the fence

[01:06:22] until you get

[01:06:22] to the guard

[01:06:23] house

[01:06:23] there were two

[01:06:23] guard houses

[01:06:24] where there were

[01:06:25] men with guns

[01:06:25] so that would

[01:06:26] protect you

[01:06:28] so you'd hope

[01:06:29] so the whole

[01:06:30] thing was like

[01:06:31] so we did

[01:06:31] one drill

[01:06:31] and it was just

[01:06:33] all of us

[01:06:33] wandering around

[01:06:34] the school grounds

[01:06:35] for about an

[01:06:35] hour and a half

[01:06:36] until they were

[01:06:36] like alright

[01:06:37] that's enough

[01:06:37] come back

[01:06:38] yeah I remember

[01:06:39] her being like

[01:06:39] just get out

[01:06:40] and I said

[01:06:42] how do I know

[01:06:43] like how do I

[01:06:44] distinguish this

[01:06:44] from the fire alarm

[01:06:45] and she just said

[01:06:46] oh you'll know

[01:06:47] they're so different

[01:06:48] at least ours were

[01:06:51] so Ross

[01:06:52] how are you

[01:06:52] finding school

[01:06:54] yeah it's great

[01:06:55] because like my mum

[01:06:56] says a lot of kids

[01:06:58] at bigger schools

[01:06:58] can just hide away

[01:06:59] at the back of the

[01:07:00] class and chatting

[01:07:01] with their mates

[01:07:02] and having a laugh

[01:07:03] and that

[01:07:03] and not learning

[01:07:04] anything

[01:07:05] I don't have

[01:07:05] those distractions

[01:07:07] there's no one

[01:07:07] to chat to

[01:07:08] or have a laugh

[01:07:09] with because

[01:07:09] I've got no

[01:07:10] mates here

[01:07:11] it's just me

[01:07:12] and Miss Carpenter

[01:07:14] so I'm lucky

[01:07:15] I'm lucky

[01:07:16] not to have

[01:07:16] any mates

[01:07:17] why do you guys

[01:07:18] think

[01:07:19] and this

[01:07:20] I don't know

[01:07:21] if you have an

[01:07:21] answer to this

[01:07:22] I don't

[01:07:22] this is quite

[01:07:23] a hard question

[01:07:24] why are there

[01:07:25] fewer women

[01:07:25] in sketch shows

[01:07:26] I think it's

[01:07:27] because there's

[01:07:27] just fewer

[01:07:27] women in comedy

[01:07:29] because women

[01:07:29] are perceived

[01:07:30] as less funny

[01:07:30] yeah

[01:07:32] yeah

[01:07:32] it's implicit

[01:07:33] gender bias

[01:07:34] is what it is

[01:07:35] sorry that's

[01:07:35] what I've been

[01:07:35] marking papers on

[01:07:37] because there's

[01:07:38] two

[01:07:39] core

[01:07:40] core

[01:07:41] cast

[01:07:42] women

[01:07:43] in this show

[01:07:44] there's

[01:07:44] a lot of men

[01:07:45] so

[01:07:46] horrible histories

[01:07:47] the core cast

[01:07:48] of six

[01:07:49] only has one

[01:07:49] woman

[01:07:51] that's Martha

[01:07:52] Howe Douglas

[01:07:52] I think

[01:07:53] to some extent

[01:07:53] some of this

[01:07:54] is

[01:07:54] expectations

[01:07:55] of women

[01:07:56] to not be

[01:07:57] silly

[01:07:58] and not

[01:07:59] be gross

[01:08:00] maybe

[01:08:01] I mean

[01:08:01] I have opinions

[01:08:02] about women

[01:08:03] in comedy

[01:08:03] I think

[01:08:04] there should

[01:08:04] be more

[01:08:05] women

[01:08:05] I also

[01:08:06] think

[01:08:06] there should

[01:08:06] be more

[01:08:06] women

[01:08:07] in comedy

[01:08:08] and

[01:08:08] as a

[01:08:09] woman

[01:08:10] in the

[01:08:10] world

[01:08:11] as a

[01:08:12] woman

[01:08:12] in comedy

[01:08:12] also

[01:08:13] sometimes

[01:08:13] well yes

[01:08:14] thank you

[01:08:14] I

[01:08:15] sometimes

[01:08:16] feel like

[01:08:16] I have to

[01:08:17] be more

[01:08:17] obvious

[01:08:18] when I'm

[01:08:18] making a

[01:08:19] joke

[01:08:19] like

[01:08:19] sometimes

[01:08:20] if I'm

[01:08:21] making

[01:08:21] a joke

[01:08:21] in

[01:08:22] real life

[01:08:23] I do

[01:08:24] it in

[01:08:24] a really

[01:08:24] really

[01:08:25] dry

[01:08:25] way

[01:08:25] and

[01:08:26] that's

[01:08:26] a

[01:08:26] mistake

[01:08:26] because

[01:08:27] people

[01:08:27] think

[01:08:27] that

[01:08:28] you're

[01:08:28] being

[01:08:28] serious

[01:08:28] because

[01:08:29] you're

[01:08:29] a

[01:08:29] woman

[01:08:30] that's

[01:08:30] I've

[01:08:31] found that

[01:08:31] you have

[01:08:31] to

[01:08:34] all

[01:08:37] 10 times

[01:08:37] as funny

[01:08:38] to be

[01:08:38] perceived

[01:08:39] as the

[01:08:39] same level

[01:08:39] as funny

[01:08:40] as a

[01:08:40] man

[01:08:40] well

[01:08:41] in

[01:08:42] this show

[01:08:43] there's a

[01:08:43] sketch

[01:08:44] where

[01:08:44] it's

[01:08:45] it's

[01:08:45] two

[01:08:45] teenage

[01:08:45] girls

[01:08:46] that are

[01:08:46] talking

[01:08:46] about

[01:08:46] what's

[01:08:47] hot

[01:08:47] and

[01:08:47] what's

[01:08:47] not

[01:08:48] that's

[01:08:48] which is

[01:08:50] very

[01:08:50] very

[01:08:50] 2009

[01:08:52] and

[01:08:53] was

[01:08:54] going

[01:08:54] to

[01:08:55] be

[01:08:56] which

[01:08:57] makes

[01:08:58] it

[01:08:58] the

[01:08:58] wolf

[01:08:59] from

[01:09:00] hoodwink

[01:09:02] and

[01:09:02] the

[01:09:02] female

[01:09:03] writer

[01:09:03] that

[01:09:03] wrote

[01:09:03] this

[01:09:04] sketch

[01:09:04] she

[01:09:04] in

[01:09:05] her

[01:09:05] head

[01:09:05] thought

[01:09:05] it

[01:09:06] would

[01:09:06] be

[01:09:06] two

[01:09:06] men

[01:09:07] pretending

[01:09:08] to be

[01:09:08] teenage

[01:09:08] girls

[01:09:09] and then

[01:09:09] it

[01:09:09] was

[01:09:09] pointed

[01:09:09] out

[01:09:10] to

[01:09:21] that

[01:09:21] makes

[01:09:21] sense

[01:09:22] but

[01:09:22] there's

[01:09:23] also

[01:09:23] like we

[01:09:24] were

[01:09:24] saying

[01:09:24] a

[01:09:25] very

[01:09:25] long

[01:09:26] history

[01:09:26] of

[01:09:27] cross

[01:09:28] dressing

[01:09:28] men

[01:09:28] dressing

[01:09:29] up

[01:09:29] as

[01:09:29] women

[01:09:29] in

[01:09:29] comedy

[01:09:30] English

[01:09:30] men

[01:09:31] just

[01:09:31] like

[01:09:32] an

[01:09:32] excuse

[01:09:32] to wear

[01:09:32] a dress

[01:09:33] I swear

[01:09:33] to god

[01:09:34] that's

[01:09:34] what it is

[01:09:35] like

[01:09:35] an excuse

[01:09:36] to wear

[01:09:37] a dress

[01:09:37] me

[01:09:38] too

[01:09:38] we all

[01:09:39] love it

[01:09:39] it's

[01:09:40] great

[01:09:40] we all

[01:09:41] love it

[01:09:41] and it's

[01:09:42] funny

[01:09:42] every

[01:09:42] time

[01:09:42] it might

[01:09:43] be

[01:09:43] some

[01:09:43] of the

[01:09:44] reason

[01:09:46] why there's

[01:09:47] less women

[01:09:48] in sketch

[01:09:48] comedy

[01:09:48] because

[01:09:49] oh

[01:09:49] it's

[01:09:50] funnier

[01:09:50] men

[01:09:51] play

[01:09:51] women

[01:09:51] it's

[01:09:52] funnier

[01:09:52] to whack

[01:09:53] these two

[01:09:53] guys in a

[01:09:54] dress

[01:09:54] and a

[01:09:55] wig

[01:09:55] than it

[01:09:56] is to

[01:09:56] have

[01:09:56] two

[01:09:56] women

[01:09:56] play

[01:09:57] women

[01:09:58] yeah

[01:09:58] and I

[01:09:59] what I

[01:09:59] want to

[01:09:59] see

[01:09:59] is more

[01:10:00] women

[01:10:00] playing

[01:10:00] men

[01:10:00] I

[01:10:01] want to

[01:10:01] see

[01:10:01] like

[01:10:01] the

[01:10:01] really

[01:10:02] comically

[01:10:03] like

[01:10:03] oh

[01:10:04] what's

[01:10:04] this

[01:10:05] fucking

[01:10:05] like

[01:10:05] Ashley

[01:10:06] Tisdale

[01:10:06] when she

[01:10:07] gets

[01:10:07] disguised

[01:10:07] as a

[01:10:07] man

[01:10:08] and stuff

[01:10:08] they

[01:10:08] always

[01:10:08] go

[01:10:09] such

[01:10:09] an

[01:10:09] extreme

[01:10:10] it's

[01:10:10] hilarious

[01:10:10] they've

[01:10:11] got

[01:10:11] like

[01:10:11] shoulder

[01:10:11] pads

[01:10:12] and

[01:10:12] like

[01:10:12] the

[01:10:12] most

[01:10:13] masculine

[01:10:14] suit

[01:10:21] I

[01:10:21] think

[01:10:22] a lot

[01:10:22] of

[01:10:22] this

[01:10:22] something

[01:10:23] I

[01:10:23] love

[01:10:23] about

[01:10:23] this

[01:10:23] show

[01:10:24] is that

[01:10:24] it's

[01:10:25] from

[01:10:25] 2008

[01:10:26] and I

[01:10:26] don't

[01:10:27] think

[01:10:27] that

[01:10:27] I

[01:10:28] didn't

[01:10:28] watch

[01:10:29] any

[01:10:29] of it

[01:10:29] and

[01:10:29] think

[01:10:30] that's

[01:10:30] aged

[01:10:30] badly

[01:10:31] no

[01:10:32] that's

[01:11:21] what is

[01:11:21] it

[01:11:21] it's quite

[01:11:22] like a

[01:11:22] chocolate

[01:11:22] bar

[01:11:22] please

[01:11:23] a

[01:11:23] chocolate

[01:11:24] bar

[01:11:26] bar

[01:11:27] no

[01:11:27] no

[01:11:28] no

[01:11:29] why are

[01:11:30] all the

[01:11:30] wrappers

[01:11:31] empty

[01:11:32] there's

[01:11:33] been a

[01:11:34] chocolate

[01:11:34] strike

[01:11:34] what

[01:11:35] a

[01:11:35] chocolate

[01:11:36] strike

[01:11:36] in

[01:11:37] switzerland

[01:11:38] germany

[01:11:39] there is

[01:11:39] a sketch

[01:11:40] where

[01:11:40] when it

[01:11:40] started

[01:11:41] I

[01:11:42] thought

[01:11:42] oh

[01:11:43] I forgot

[01:11:43] about this

[01:11:44] and I

[01:11:44] think it's

[01:11:45] going to

[01:11:45] be a

[01:11:46] bit

[01:11:46] like

[01:11:47] I

[01:11:48] think

[01:11:48] this

[01:11:48] might

[01:11:49] have

[01:11:49] aged

[01:11:49] poorly

[01:11:49] and so

[01:11:50] it

[01:11:51] starts

[01:11:51] on an

[01:11:52] aeroplane

[01:11:52] there's

[01:11:52] two

[01:11:53] air

[01:11:53] hostesses

[01:11:54] or I

[01:11:54] thought

[01:11:54] it was

[01:11:55] two

[01:11:55] female

[01:11:57] air

[01:11:58] hostesses

[01:11:58] played

[01:11:59] by

[01:11:59] Mark

[01:12:00] Armand

[01:12:02] air

[01:12:02] hostesses

[01:12:03] innately

[01:12:04] as a

[01:12:04] woman

[01:12:05] yes

[01:12:05] so I

[01:12:06] thought

[01:12:07] it was

[01:12:07] two

[01:12:07] men

[01:12:08] I

[01:12:10] thought

[01:12:10] it was

[01:12:11] two

[01:12:11] men

[01:12:11] playing

[01:12:11] women

[01:12:11] I

[01:12:12] thought

[01:12:12] it

[01:12:15] Mark

[01:12:16] Armand

[01:12:16] playing

[01:12:16] female

[01:12:17] flight

[01:12:18] attendants

[01:12:18] right

[01:12:19] flight

[01:12:20] attendant

[01:12:20] yes

[01:12:21] flight

[01:12:23] attendants

[01:12:25] and the

[01:12:26] whole joke

[01:12:26] of this

[01:12:27] is that

[01:12:27] they're

[01:12:28] slightly

[01:12:28] too

[01:12:29] large

[01:12:29] to get

[01:12:30] down

[01:12:30] the

[01:12:30] aisle

[01:12:31] and

[01:12:31] there's

[01:12:32] never

[01:12:32] anything

[01:12:33] left

[01:12:33] on the

[01:12:34] trolley

[01:12:34] because

[01:12:35] they've

[01:12:35] eaten

[01:12:35] it all

[01:12:35] and I

[01:12:36] was like

[01:12:36] oh this

[01:12:37] is a bit

[01:12:37] awkward

[01:12:38] two

[01:12:39] men

[01:12:39] playing

[01:12:39] fat

[01:12:40] women

[01:12:40] but

[01:12:41] they're

[01:12:41] not

[01:12:41] they're

[01:12:42] just

[01:12:42] playing

[01:12:43] camp

[01:12:44] men

[01:12:44] as it

[01:12:45] went

[01:12:45] on

[01:12:45] they're

[01:12:46] actually

[01:12:46] just

[01:12:47] two

[01:12:50] camp

[01:12:51] fat

[01:12:51] men

[01:12:51] and

[01:12:52] somehow

[01:12:52] I was

[01:12:54] like

[01:12:54] this

[01:12:55] is

[01:12:55] not

[01:12:55] only

[01:12:55] okay

[01:12:56] but

[01:12:56] really

[01:12:56] funny

[01:12:57] it was

[01:12:58] quite

[01:12:58] funny

[01:12:58] actually

[01:12:59] see

[01:13:00] it's

[01:13:00] the

[01:13:02] misdirection

[01:13:02] that's

[01:13:03] funny

[01:13:03] always

[01:13:04] misdirection

[01:13:04] is always

[01:13:05] funny

[01:13:07] I

[01:13:08] were

[01:13:08] thinking

[01:13:08] oh

[01:13:09] someone

[01:13:09] in

[01:13:09] 2024

[01:13:10] is

[01:13:11] gonna

[01:13:11] think

[01:13:11] oh

[01:13:11] no

[01:13:11] this

[01:13:12] is

[01:13:12] two

[01:13:12] men

[01:13:13] playing

[01:13:13] women

[01:13:13] who

[01:13:13] are

[01:13:14] fat

[01:13:14] but

[01:13:15] actually

[01:13:15] they're

[01:13:15] just

[01:13:16] a couple

[01:13:16] of

[01:13:17] men

[01:13:17] who

[01:13:17] are

[01:13:17] just

[01:13:18] fat

[01:13:18] men

[01:13:38] so I

[01:13:38] can't

[01:13:38] speak

[01:13:39] a

[01:13:39] word

[01:13:39] of

[01:13:39] your

[01:13:39] wonderful

[01:13:40] language

[01:13:40] well

[01:13:41] bonjour

[01:13:42] ça va

[01:13:43] I beg

[01:13:44] your

[01:13:44] pardon

[01:13:45] oh

[01:13:46] I

[01:13:46] was

[01:13:47] never

[01:13:48] mind

[01:13:48] now

[01:13:48] listen

[01:13:49] I'm

[01:13:49] here

[01:13:49] to

[01:13:50] inspect

[01:13:50] the

[01:13:50] museum

[01:13:51] as

[01:13:51] part

[01:14:08] this

[01:14:08] cloth

[01:14:08] lies

[01:14:09] the

[01:14:09] flame

[01:14:10] from

[01:14:10] the

[01:14:10] lighthouse

[01:14:11] of

[01:14:11] alexandria

[01:14:12] illuminated

[01:14:13] 2000 years

[01:14:14] ago

[01:14:14] and never

[01:14:15] extinguished

[01:14:16] he said

[01:14:19] fire

[01:14:20] the lighthouse

[01:14:21] of alexandria

[01:14:22] are you sure

[01:14:23] sure

[01:14:23] sure

[01:14:24] sure

[01:14:24] we are

[01:14:25] certain

[01:14:25] he said

[01:14:26] we are

[01:14:27] certain

[01:14:27] well goodness

[01:14:28] I'd love to see

[01:14:29] it

[01:14:38] in your

[01:14:39] imagination

[01:14:41] I'm sorry

[01:14:41] I'm not quite

[01:14:42] sure this is

[01:14:43] going to be

[01:14:43] the right

[01:14:43] sort of

[01:14:44] thing

[01:14:44] for the

[01:14:44] guide

[01:14:45] book

[01:14:45] I've got

[01:14:45] something to

[01:14:46] read from

[01:14:46] producer

[01:14:47] Jeremy

[01:14:48] Selisby

[01:14:49] I was

[01:14:49] head of

[01:14:50] development

[01:14:50] at

[01:14:51] SO

[01:14:51] television

[01:14:51] at the

[01:14:52] time

[01:14:52] and I

[01:14:53] pitched

[01:14:53] the idea

[01:14:53] to my

[01:14:54] boss

[01:14:54] Graham

[01:14:54] Stewart

[01:14:54] who

[01:14:55] got it

[01:14:55] straight

[01:14:55] away

[01:14:56] and

[01:14:56] backed

[01:14:56] it

[01:14:56] from

[01:14:57] the

[01:14:57] start

[01:14:57] that

[01:14:58] was

[01:14:58] Laura

[01:14:58] sneezing

[01:14:58] I

[01:14:59] was

[01:14:59] aware

[01:14:59] I

[01:15:08] definitely

[01:15:09] did that

[01:15:09] I think

[01:15:10] for a

[01:15:11] start

[01:15:11] I wanted

[01:15:12] it to

[01:15:12] be a

[01:15:12] sketch

[01:15:13] comedy

[01:15:13] show

[01:15:13] comedy

[01:15:14] is the

[01:15:14] genre

[01:15:15] not

[01:15:15] children

[01:15:16] and the

[01:15:17] brief

[01:15:17] I gave

[01:15:18] everyone

[01:15:18] was simple

[01:15:19] and I

[01:15:19] hope

[01:15:19] liberating

[01:15:20] write

[01:15:21] what

[01:15:21] you

[01:15:39] what

[01:15:47] do you

[01:15:47] think

[01:15:47] about

[01:15:47] that

[01:15:48] I

[01:15:48] think

[01:15:48] that's

[01:15:49] all

[01:15:49] 100%

[01:15:50] true

[01:15:51] and I

[01:15:51] actually

[01:15:51] that's

[01:15:52] a really

[01:15:53] good

[01:15:53] way

[01:15:53] to

[01:15:53] come

[01:15:53] into

[01:15:54] it

[01:15:54] because

[01:15:55] some

[01:15:56] of

[01:15:56] the

[01:15:56] jokes

[01:15:56] you

[01:15:57] can

[01:15:57] tell

[01:15:57] it's

[01:15:58] like

[01:15:58] a

[01:15:58] kid

[01:15:58] never

[01:15:58] going

[01:16:08] like

[01:16:08] that

[01:16:08] with

[01:16:09] respect

[01:16:10] to your

[01:16:11] audience

[01:16:11] irregardless

[01:16:12] of their

[01:16:13] age

[01:16:13] is a

[01:16:14] good

[01:16:14] idea

[01:16:14] yeah

[01:16:14] and it

[01:16:15] introduces

[01:16:15] more words

[01:16:16] into their

[01:16:16] vocabulary

[01:16:17] yeah

[01:16:18] and when

[01:16:18] I was

[01:16:18] a kid

[01:16:19] my

[01:16:19] favourites

[01:16:20] were still

[01:17:35] I was

[01:17:36] just gonna

[01:17:36] say

[01:17:37] it would

[01:17:37] have

[01:17:37] I'm very

[01:17:38] curious

[01:17:38] about

[01:17:39] the history

[01:17:40] of sketch

[01:17:40] comedy

[01:17:41] in the UK

[01:17:41] because there's

[01:17:42] a long

[01:17:43] history

[01:17:43] of sketch

[01:17:43] comedy

[01:17:44] in the UK

[01:17:46] god I wish

[01:17:47] I'd done some

[01:17:47] research on

[01:17:48] that before

[01:17:48] I mean

[01:17:50] no actually

[01:17:50] that would

[01:17:51] have been

[01:17:51] really good

[01:17:52] for this

[01:17:52] episode

[01:17:53] this episode

[01:17:53] has been

[01:17:55] us talking

[01:17:55] about bits

[01:17:56] we liked

[01:17:57] in the show

[01:17:57] well maybe

[01:17:57] if you

[01:17:58] subscribe to

[01:17:58] our Patreon

[01:17:59] there might

[01:17:59] be stuff

[01:17:59] about the

[01:18:00] history of

[01:18:00] sketch comedy

[01:18:01] in the UK

[01:18:01] there is a

[01:18:02] long history

[01:18:03] of sketch

[01:18:03] comedy in the UK

[01:18:05] I remember

[01:18:06] once we were

[01:18:06] in class

[01:18:07] and like I

[01:18:08] think there's

[01:18:08] sketch comedy

[01:18:09] in the UK

[01:18:10] that can be

[01:18:13] I don't know

[01:18:13] why that killed

[01:18:16] the UK

[01:18:16] about 40

[01:18:17] times now

[01:18:18] that like

[01:18:19] we were shown

[01:18:22] some sketch

[01:18:23] comedy in the UK

[01:18:25] um

[01:18:25] that like

[01:18:26] they're done

[01:18:27] very intelligently

[01:18:28] at times

[01:18:28] so like there's

[01:18:29] classes where

[01:18:30] we had skits

[01:18:30] played for us

[01:18:31] like skits

[01:18:32] from Monty

[01:18:32] Python stuff

[01:18:33] another one

[01:18:34] I don't remember

[01:18:35] who it was by

[01:18:35] but they were

[01:18:35] like it was a

[01:18:36] way to explain

[01:18:37] what leading

[01:18:38] questions are

[01:18:39] and it's done

[01:18:40] super well

[01:18:40] so it's like

[01:18:41] there's one person

[01:18:42] talking to this

[01:18:42] other person

[01:18:42] about the draft

[01:18:44] right about being

[01:18:45] for or against

[01:18:45] the draft

[01:18:46] and it's a series

[01:18:46] of questions

[01:18:47] asked very quickly

[01:18:48] that are phrased

[01:18:49] in such a way

[01:18:50] that leads you

[01:18:50] to an obvious

[01:18:51] answer at the

[01:18:51] end of it

[01:18:52] one one way

[01:18:53] yes you like

[01:18:54] the draft

[01:18:55] the other way

[01:18:55] no the draft

[01:18:56] is horrible

[01:18:56] and it's done

[01:18:56] so well

[01:18:57] but like

[01:18:58] it's just very

[01:18:59] interesting to me

[01:18:59] that this has

[01:19:00] such a presence

[01:19:01] in UK telly

[01:19:01] there's been a

[01:19:02] sort of

[01:19:04] downtick in

[01:19:04] sketch comedy

[01:19:05] yeah

[01:19:05] recently

[01:19:06] is it

[01:19:06] more expensive

[01:19:07] it's more

[01:19:08] expensive

[01:19:08] because there's

[01:19:09] more locations

[01:19:10] and there's

[01:19:10] more costumes

[01:19:11] and I think

[01:19:12] the BBC has

[01:19:13] so many

[01:19:13] has one of

[01:19:14] the biggest

[01:19:15] costume wardrobes

[01:19:16] in the world

[01:19:16] heads managed

[01:19:17] to make it

[01:19:18] cheap

[01:19:20] they used

[01:19:21] abandoned

[01:19:22] underpasses

[01:19:23] as locations

[01:19:23] yeah well

[01:19:24] that was

[01:19:24] awful

[01:19:25] it was a

[01:19:26] really bad

[01:19:27] show

[01:19:28] print out

[01:19:28] shit

[01:19:29] and get

[01:19:29] swamp

[01:19:30] reads

[01:19:31] from the

[01:19:31] fucking

[01:19:31] pond

[01:19:32] for

[01:19:33] what's his

[01:19:34] face's hair

[01:19:34] sorry I really

[01:19:36] hate heads

[01:19:36] and I really

[01:19:37] heads was awful

[01:20:25] horrible histories

[01:20:26] but with less

[01:20:26] history

[01:20:27] it's like big

[01:20:27] this is like

[01:20:28] the kids equivalent

[01:20:30] of Big Train

[01:20:31] which is the

[01:20:31] best sketch comedy

[01:20:33] that's ever been

[01:20:34] made

[01:20:34] I'll show it to you

[01:20:35] you'll love it

[01:20:36] I haven't

[01:20:36] yeah I haven't

[01:20:37] seen it

[01:20:37] it's so good

[01:20:38] it's just like

[01:20:39] sketch comedy

[01:20:40] as it's supposed

[01:20:40] to be

[01:20:41] just funny

[01:20:42] just really funny

[01:20:43] does anyone else

[01:20:43] think that David

[01:20:43] Walliams is a bit

[01:20:44] evil

[01:20:45] yes

[01:20:45] he gives evil

[01:20:46] doesn't he

[01:20:47] there's a whiff

[01:20:48] of sinister

[01:20:48] about him

[01:20:50] it'll all come

[01:20:51] out one day

[01:20:52] I mean it

[01:20:53] has a no one

[01:20:53] gives a fuck

[01:20:54] today was Greg

[01:20:55] Wallace's day

[01:20:56] of reckoning

[01:20:58] yeah that's

[01:20:59] what David

[01:21:00] Walliams is next

[01:21:01] yeah he is

[01:21:01] well I mean

[01:21:02] I don't think

[01:21:03] it was Greg's

[01:21:04] day of reckoning

[01:21:05] he just told

[01:21:06] everyone he was

[01:21:06] quitting

[01:21:07] maybe he'll go

[01:21:08] back

[01:21:08] I think he was

[01:21:09] asked to leave

[01:21:10] of historical

[01:21:12] abuse allegations

[01:21:13] did you not

[01:21:14] know

[01:21:14] did you not

[01:21:15] read the screenshot

[01:21:16] I said

[01:21:16] no

[01:21:17] no he's

[01:21:18] I thought he

[01:21:19] was just

[01:21:19] retiring

[01:21:20] no he's

[01:21:21] been asked

[01:21:21] to leave

[01:21:22] MasterChef

[01:21:22] because people

[01:21:23] are accusing

[01:21:24] him of

[01:21:25] bullying and

[01:21:26] abuse

[01:21:27] an assault

[01:21:28] fuck

[01:21:29] yes

[01:21:30] this is why

[01:21:30] he's had so

[01:21:31] many wives

[01:21:31] did I tell you

[01:21:32] that he liked

[01:21:33] my comment on

[01:21:34] one of his

[01:21:34] videos on

[01:21:35] Instagram

[01:21:35] the other

[01:21:35] day

[01:21:35] yeah

[01:21:36] he posted

[01:21:37] a video of

[01:21:37] him in

[01:21:38] the gym

[01:21:38] and I

[01:21:38] commented

[01:21:39] how's your

[01:21:40] son recently

[01:21:46] he liked

[01:21:47] it

[01:21:47] it is not

[01:21:49] him doing

[01:21:49] that though

[01:21:50] for sure

[01:21:50] that's some

[01:21:50] assistant who

[01:21:51] went hurt

[01:21:55] how's your

[01:21:56] autistic son

[01:21:57] Greg

[01:21:58] that one

[01:21:59] hour a day

[01:22:00] you spend

[01:22:00] with him

[01:22:01] on a Sunday

[01:22:01] or Saturday

[01:22:02] whatever it is

[01:22:03] I need to

[01:22:04] tell you about

[01:22:04] when I

[01:22:05] went to

[01:22:06] Edinburgh

[01:22:06] in 2018

[01:22:07] I was there

[01:22:08] to do stand

[01:22:09] up and

[01:22:10] I was with

[01:22:11] a bunch

[01:22:11] of people

[01:22:11] from uni

[01:22:12] and we

[01:22:12] were all

[01:22:12] doing stand

[01:22:13] up together

[01:22:13] on the same

[01:22:14] bill

[01:22:15] and one

[01:22:16] of them

[01:22:16] he had to

[01:22:17] call himself

[01:22:17] William Henry

[01:22:18] Andrews

[01:22:19] because in

[01:22:21] the festival

[01:22:22] there was

[01:22:22] another guy

[01:22:23] called William

[01:22:24] Andrews

[01:22:25] doing his

[01:22:26] own stand

[01:22:26] up show

[01:22:27] and it was

[01:22:28] William Andrews

[01:22:28] from Sorry

[01:22:29] I've Got No

[01:22:29] Head

[01:22:29] and I

[01:22:31] realised that

[01:22:33] so William

[01:22:34] Henry Andrews

[01:22:34] who was part

[01:22:35] of my show

[01:22:36] he's a great

[01:22:37] stand up

[01:22:37] he's good

[01:22:38] right

[01:22:39] he's very good

[01:22:39] but I realised

[01:22:40] that William

[01:22:42] Andrews

[01:22:42] who took

[01:22:43] his name

[01:22:43] first

[01:22:44] was the

[01:22:45] Sorry I've Got

[01:22:45] No Head

[01:22:46] guy

[01:22:46] so I was

[01:22:46] like

[01:22:46] I've got

[01:22:47] to see

[01:22:48] this man's

[01:22:48] show

[01:22:48] so I

[01:22:49] went to

[01:22:50] see it

[01:22:50] and it

[01:22:52] is one

[01:22:52] of the

[01:22:53] funniest

[01:22:53] stand up

[01:22:54] shows

[01:22:54] I've

[01:22:54] ever

[01:22:55] seen

[01:22:56] in all

[01:22:57] the times

[01:22:57] I've been

[01:22:58] to Edinburgh

[01:22:58] Fringe

[01:22:59] if I

[01:23:00] found

[01:23:00] something

[01:23:00] really

[01:23:01] good

[01:23:01] I've

[01:23:02] not

[01:23:02] gone

[01:23:02] back

[01:23:02] to

[01:23:02] see

[01:23:02] it

[01:23:03] a

[01:23:03] second

[01:23:03] time

[01:23:03] apart

[01:23:04] from

[01:23:04] this

[01:23:05] it

[01:23:05] was

[01:23:05] brilliant

[01:23:06] and it

[01:23:07] was called

[01:23:07] Willie

[01:23:07] the name

[01:23:08] of the

[01:23:08] show

[01:23:09] was Willie

[01:23:10] which is

[01:23:10] funny

[01:23:11] why

[01:23:14] and it

[01:23:15] was the

[01:23:15] kind of

[01:23:15] you know

[01:23:16] how I

[01:23:16] feel about

[01:23:17] I

[01:23:17] E

[01:23:17] or

[01:23:18] why

[01:23:18] why

[01:23:21] it

[01:23:21] matters

[01:23:22] because

[01:23:23] one's

[01:23:23] Willie

[01:23:23] Nelson

[01:23:24] and one's

[01:23:24] Willie

[01:23:25] yes

[01:23:28] it's

[01:23:28] you know

[01:23:28] I

[01:23:29] you know

[01:23:29] how I feel

[01:23:30] about stand up

[01:23:30] like I

[01:23:31] can take it

[01:23:31] or leave it

[01:23:32] I can

[01:23:33] I can

[01:23:33] really

[01:23:33] take it

[01:23:33] or leave

[01:23:34] it

[01:23:34] like but

[01:23:34] the stuff

[01:23:35] that uses

[01:23:36] music

[01:23:37] the stuff

[01:23:37] that uses

[01:23:38] multimedia

[01:23:38] the stuff

[01:23:39] that uses

[01:23:39] props

[01:23:40] the weird

[01:23:41] stuff

[01:23:41] that's

[01:23:42] the stuff

[01:23:42] that I

[01:23:42] love

[01:23:43] and

[01:23:44] William

[01:23:44] Andrews

[01:23:45] stand up

[01:23:45] show

[01:23:46] was

[01:23:48] amazing

[01:23:48] it was

[01:23:49] no him

[01:23:49] it was

[01:23:49] just

[01:23:50] props

[01:23:50] it was a

[01:23:50] man made

[01:23:51] out of

[01:23:51] props

[01:23:51] he used

[01:23:52] all of

[01:23:53] that stuff

[01:23:53] and I'm

[01:23:53] not going

[01:23:54] to describe

[01:23:54] what he

[01:23:55] did

[01:23:55] because

[01:23:55] it'll

[01:23:55] make me

[01:23:56] sound

[01:23:56] insane

[01:23:56] but

[01:23:57] it was

[01:23:58] brilliant

[01:23:58] and there's

[01:24:00] a bit of his

[01:24:01] stand up on

[01:24:02] YouTube

[01:24:02] which is

[01:24:03] wasn't anything

[01:24:03] like this one

[01:24:04] particular show

[01:24:05] but he

[01:24:06] basically

[01:24:06] in this

[01:24:07] he added

[01:24:08] different lyrics

[01:24:09] to songs

[01:24:10] he was

[01:24:11] playing

[01:24:12] Geordie

[01:24:13] comedian

[01:24:14] he was

[01:24:14] playing a

[01:24:14] bad

[01:24:15] Geordie

[01:24:15] comedian

[01:24:15] he does

[01:24:16] Geordie

[01:24:16] really well

[01:24:16] he really

[01:24:17] does

[01:24:17] and he

[01:24:18] was like

[01:24:19] singing songs

[01:24:19] in this

[01:24:20] sort of

[01:24:20] accent

[01:24:21] and he

[01:24:23] did Mr

[01:24:23] Sandman

[01:24:24] and he

[01:24:25] we say

[01:24:26] this a lot

[01:24:27] don't we

[01:24:28] we quote

[01:24:29] this to

[01:24:29] him

[01:24:29] Mr

[01:24:30] Sandman

[01:24:30] I'd like

[01:24:31] to order

[01:24:32] some

[01:24:32] sand

[01:24:35] so good

[01:24:39] Mr

[01:24:40] Sandman

[01:24:40] I'd like

[01:24:41] to order

[01:24:41] some

[01:24:42] sand

[01:24:42] I've got

[01:24:43] a confession

[01:24:44] to make

[01:24:45] you fancy

[01:24:46] Fergus

[01:24:46] Craig

[01:24:47] I was

[01:24:48] gonna say

[01:24:48] I fancy

[01:24:49] William

[01:24:50] Andrew

[01:24:51] but sure

[01:24:52] both are

[01:24:53] true

[01:24:54] yeah

[01:24:54] I mean

[01:24:55] yeah

[01:24:55] I do

[01:24:58] do a

[01:24:59] hear me

[01:24:59] out

[01:24:59] cake

[01:25:00] hear me

[01:25:00] out

[01:25:01] William

[01:25:01] you need

[01:25:02] to hear

[01:25:02] me

[01:25:02] out

[01:25:03] I think

[01:25:03] it's

[01:25:04] self

[01:25:04] explanatory

[01:25:05] yeah

[01:25:05] at the

[01:25:07] end of

[01:25:07] his show

[01:25:10] so the

[01:25:11] second time

[01:25:11] I saw

[01:25:12] it was

[01:25:12] his last

[01:25:13] show

[01:25:13] in that

[01:25:14] season

[01:25:14] and

[01:25:15] he had

[01:25:16] a bunch

[01:25:16] of

[01:25:17] leftover

[01:25:17] like

[01:25:17] badges

[01:25:18] they're

[01:25:18] like

[01:25:19] pink

[01:25:19] badges

[01:25:20] with

[01:25:20] the

[01:25:20] word

[01:25:21] willie

[01:25:21] printed

[01:25:21] on them

[01:25:22] in

[01:25:22] black

[01:25:22] I

[01:25:23] think

[01:25:23] I

[01:25:25] is

[01:25:26] like

[01:25:29] I feel

[01:25:34] a bit

[01:25:35] bad

[01:25:35] because

[01:25:35] you're

[01:25:35] gonna

[01:25:35] be

[01:25:35] pecking

[01:25:36] at

[01:25:36] them

[01:25:36] like

[01:25:36] pigeons

[01:25:37] but

[01:25:37] there's

[01:25:38] no

[01:25:38] fair

[01:25:38] way

[01:25:38] to

[01:25:38] do

[01:25:39] this

[01:25:39] so

[01:25:39] I'm

[01:25:40] just

[01:25:40] going

[01:25:40] to

[01:25:40] put

[01:25:40] them

[01:25:40] here

[01:25:40] and

[01:25:40] then

[01:25:56] when you came across him on the internet didn't you the other day yes i was researching for the

[01:26:02] children of the stones episode go listen to it it's one of our better ones and there was a guy

[01:26:08] there was a youtube guy like someone that just like walks and like films his hikes and stuff

[01:26:13] and he was in the place where it's filmed he was in the place where um avery where children of the

[01:26:21] stones was filmed and he was like filming bits of his walk and i was like i know this voice and the

[01:26:27] camera turned around and i was like oh my god that's my right clarewood i just need the audience to know

[01:26:33] that laura wasn't entirely sure which cast member we were talking about and she couldn't she just

[01:26:41] confusedly handed her phone to me and she'd been googling morette fairwood

[01:26:51] i thought you said morette i think they sound pretty similar fairwood they sound similar

[01:26:57] are there any other sketches you want to talk about there's a lot we've missed a lot i'm sure

[01:27:03] and i'm sorry i think um they've got no head

[01:27:09] they they vary in length a lot which which surprises because a lot of sketch shows is fairly consistent

[01:27:15] right yeah there was the the hebrides boy and the alps that sketch went on for so much longer than i

[01:27:22] expected it to because most of the sketches are they seem to be like under two minutes

[01:27:27] and this one went on for a good like five and i was not in a bad way i was just surprised because

[01:27:31] that's not typical for a sketch show and then some of them are like five seconds long not not five

[01:27:36] seconds long but you know what i mean they're like the in-betweeny bits i think it's interesting

[01:27:40] seeing the variation of success that we've seen the people interestingly i think mel gedroich

[01:27:48] has probably become the most mainstream famous i disagree i think nick mohammed never mind nick

[01:27:58] mohammed that's where i was going with this i was like you've got you've got um fergus craig and

[01:28:05] you know william andrews and who who i think are all fantastic comedians and then you've got nick

[01:28:10] mohammed when you go back and watch things from the 2000s and the 2010s i'm sorry but he crops up in

[01:28:17] everything yeah he was really doing the most wasn't he and he he's in miranda for an episode he's in

[01:28:23] like a scene he's in everything he's in the skydiving episode yeah that's it yes yeah and then like he is

[01:28:30] excellent in ted lasso he's he's really good in ted lasso so yeah i would i mean that he was that

[01:28:35] was his lucky break he was at the emmys like yeah he for sure has gotten the biggest i would then say

[01:28:39] mel but i mean i think before i mean mel marcus brigstock and inside number nine yes he was

[01:28:47] mel marcus brigstock and justin edwards were big before sorry i've got no head yeah well i

[01:28:56] immediately recognized marcus brigstock yeah like i'm because he i had seen he looks like my dad

[01:29:02] does he i think he does a bit you're dead not my dad but my dad had hair he looks nothing like your

[01:29:10] dad i um i can see it a little i disagree if you you didn't see my dad in 2010 that's the thing no i

[01:29:18] didn't see lots of pictures i saw i'm pretty sure marcus brigstock lives around here because i've seen

[01:29:24] him on the tube and he's gotten off at our stop i think because i don't tell everyone where we live

[01:29:31] marcus please oh i want to say thank you to fergus craig and um jeremy salesby who replied to me on

[01:29:43] twitter the other day they helped me find they helped me locate that interview that i've been

[01:29:47] quoted so yeah and also fergus craig when your wife finally leaves you um first kid just listening

[01:29:55] i live near marcus brigstock

[01:30:00] if that's enticing at all to you

[01:30:02] do you live near marcus brigstock

[01:30:06] no longer a vehicle of discussing media it's meg flirting with men on telly

[01:30:16] also the same year that i saw willie when she's a willie for the first time his wife

[01:30:23] anna crilly of sorry i've got no headspace anna crilly rhymes with willie she was in a play

[01:30:34] in at the edinburgh fringe in the same year and i went to see it and it's very different she dies in

[01:30:41] it i thought it's supposed to all be funny at fringe i've not i've not been these two have been

[01:30:48] oh okay it's theater comedy it's comedy as well but it's the it's mainly theater

[01:30:53] oh i've never been because no a i was either not in the country or edinburgh really far away

[01:30:59] yeah i don't i know it

[01:31:03] that is a joke for one person

[01:31:07] oh nice day at the camel's bum dear oh i don't know you work your mandibles off trying to make a living

[01:31:13] you never get so dare trying to make me do

[01:31:17] oh my father did you eat your packed lunch

[01:31:21] well no it got kind of put off it actually

[01:31:22] oh did i leave the crust on your sandwiches

[01:31:25] it's not that it's just that they're trying to make me touch some poo

[01:31:29] done lad you're a dung beetle what did you think we'd be doing

[01:31:34] he said it would be exciting an adventure across the rolling plane to the serengeti

[01:31:38] you said we see lions and zebras

[01:31:40] well you did didn't you

[01:31:42] but not the fun end it was miles away and we walked

[01:31:45] and when we got there you never guess what dad did

[01:31:47] he just went straight up to this bit of poo and

[01:31:50] rolled it into a ball

[01:31:51] brilliant

[01:31:52] it's so embarrassing

[01:31:54] yeah we have meandered quite a bit haven't we

[01:31:56] we have a little

[01:31:57] i i just want to apologize for how um off topic this episode has been

[01:32:02] it's difficult to cover a sketch show because this show has

[01:32:07] a fuck ton of sketches and i've i've mentioned all my favorites i think

[01:32:13] but it's also like there's not some complex production history or special stuff to talk about you know

[01:32:20] there's no source material yeah we do try and raise the intellectual

[01:32:24] bar but we we haven't been able to with this one i don't think no matter how hard we tried

[01:32:29] i have a question is the the beatles and i mean not not the band

[01:32:35] the bug

[01:32:37] oh the dung beetle sketch

[01:32:38] is that recurring because i only saw the one

[01:32:41] yes it is

[01:32:41] yeah yeah so that

[01:32:42] i didn't like it

[01:32:43] that one is like a pretend sitcom with a laugh track

[01:32:46] it's the only bit with a laugh track and it's a family of dung beetles at home

[01:32:50] i thought some of it was quite funny actually

[01:32:52] i just the only one i saw was was the vomit one and not to say i don't find vomit funny

[01:32:58] you have to i have to i have i have to being me do you want to tell them what happened the other day

[01:33:05] oh she came into the living room and was talking to me and i was midway through a sentence she went

[01:33:12] sorry he's gonna be sick and um then she went and was sick and then she came back and she said

[01:33:19] she literally said the last sentence that i'd said to her to remind me what i'd been saying as if

[01:33:26] she hadn't been the one that just been sick oh yeah carry on

[01:33:31] you're like no what no no you were just sick

[01:33:33] and why were you sick because you were hungry

[01:33:36] i was hungry i hadn't eaten yet makes her sick to her stomach being hungry

[01:33:42] it doesn't take much i love food so much when i haven't got it in me my body's like no

[01:33:49] well well well what are you lot doing in muntjac territory this is not muntjac territory

[01:33:56] this is our clearing seems to me this clearing belongs to whoever wants it most and right now

[01:34:02] i'm guessing that's us not today muntjacs oh no it's steven back from switzerland

[01:34:12] we should go hold on we've got every right to be here i thought this was a deer club

[01:34:24] yes but muntjacs are not true deer

[01:34:28] he knows he knows we should definitely go

[01:34:31] all right you win this time steven you can have your clearing

[01:34:37] it's rubbish anyway

[01:34:49] steven back from switzerland

[01:34:51] he's magnificent

[01:34:56] sorry what i've just been thinking about edinburgh french since you mentioned it

[01:34:59] what's like the most weird thing or like like cerebral

[01:35:04] least funny thing you've seen at french

[01:35:06] she'd been a couple of times haven't you

[01:35:08] right i'm so jealous of you i've only been once and you saying oh i thought it was all comedy

[01:35:16] has reminded me that when i went with my mum i saw like a kind of theater spoken word performance art

[01:35:24] piece by lauren booth who if you don't know laura is a journalist and she's tony blair's sister-in-law

[01:35:31] and her conversion to islam and it was simultaneously there were bits of it where i was like tears were

[01:35:42] welling up in my eyes and then in the same effect or in a really sad way and then in the same

[01:35:49] sentence i was thinking god this is so self-serving and that's pretty much edinburgh fringe

[01:35:55] that's that's a summary of any i mean i've always said that you're not a theater person until you've seen more bad stuff than good stuff

[01:36:02] so true and at fringe specifically or in no no just generally like there's a lot of shit out there and if you've only seen good stuff it's been filtered out for you

[01:36:12] and i mean if yes in singapore i think it's a different story because it's like there's so fewer theaters everything done is either very safe so like shakespeare or weird

[01:36:26] i guess you're not seeing many productions in the the top floor of a pub in singapore i actually i went to dinner theater once in singapore it was french dinner theater

[01:36:38] had no idea what was going on well to answer your question um i'm so i've got a list on my phone of things i've seen at fringe

[01:36:46] the one you've talked to me about the most was the um multimedia clown something uh possibly yes so something that

[01:36:57] everything i've done on stage ever has been really inspired by a theater company called in bed with my brother

[01:37:03] they did a show called tricky second album which was their second show after they got really big clown

[01:37:08] they are clowns okay okay i'm right okay so that was that was about the concept of burning money

[01:37:14] and my friend who i was with hated it she was like i was scared they were shouting at us it was horrible

[01:37:21] and they were talking about their personal problems and it was just one of them was heavily pregnant while

[01:37:26] she was performing it i always makes things funnier i don't care what i thought it always makes things

[01:37:31] funnier they are still going they've got lots of shows about really unusual concepts and they're

[01:37:40] hilarious and disturbing and they're brilliant and i love them i saw a show called um midnight train

[01:37:46] to lichtenstein i've been there i went there last week i know i know i've been to lichtenstein guys

[01:37:52] and i saw san marino win on a midnight train no it was at a regular time that was above a pub and he

[01:38:01] took some time out of the show to do a like a finger puppet show just in front of my face for me

[01:38:07] which was awesome like i actually would hate that there's a there's a lot of fingers out my face

[01:38:13] there's a lot of weird shit at the fringe and a lot of it i it's just that that's the kind of stuff

[01:38:18] i like and a lot of people hate it and it depends what you're seeing but until you've seen more stuff

[01:38:22] that you hate than you like i feel like you can't really call yourself someone that's into theater i

[01:38:26] have seen several things in singapore where at the intermission i really didn't want to go back in i

[01:38:33] wanted to go home i went to see i went with my mum and we went to see regional d hunter and we were sat in

[01:38:42] like the third row and i've only ever seen him on tv before and i thought he was really funny and he's

[01:38:49] had like he's done like presenting and like documentaries and stuff where he's been really

[01:38:53] funny and this was awful it was like it was very what year did i go to fringe at the same time 2019

[01:39:03] and it was basically like him attacking the woke mob before that that before that was a thing that

[01:39:08] you did and but in like a really like it was very early um comedians can say what they like

[01:39:16] kind of and i was like i would walk out of this if i wasn't in the third row and you know when you

[01:39:24] can feel it's very rare you know when you hear comedians talking about audiences and things audience

[01:39:31] whole audiences are just not on side i've never been part of an audience like that until then and i was

[01:39:37] like oh i i feel the room feels tense i did and i was really disappointed because i was really looking

[01:39:45] forward to it it was one of the bigger things at fringe as well and it was awful because i was part

[01:39:51] of the manchester stand-up sort of community and i did lots of the open mics and that sort of thing

[01:39:57] i've been in makes a really good thank you laura we haven't been to one in ages you should do another

[01:40:01] i know i want i want to do it again i'm doing one in january you should come yeah i'm definitely gonna

[01:40:06] come um yeah i was in a room that was so a lot of open mics are not actually open mics that you

[01:40:14] have to book a few weeks in advance and this one was the they marketed themselves as the true only

[01:40:20] open mic in manchester you turn up on the night and you do it and this so i've been in a lot of rooms

[01:40:28] that are like small rooms where stand-ups happening and most of them are bringer gigs and bringer gigs

[01:40:33] means you bring your friends which means that you're the comedians and their friends make up

[01:40:39] the audience and that's it and a lot of that actually put me put me off doing comedy sometimes

[01:40:44] it's lovely sometimes it's really nice a lot of it is new material so much of the stand-up scene is

[01:40:51] comedians and their friends performing to each other and that's how that's how you start out

[01:40:56] this night that's how i want to remain yeah this night was i wasn't with any friends i was on my

[01:41:03] and i was there just to perform and a lot of the a lot of it was okay a lot of it was quite good

[01:41:11] the host was brilliant i know her she's really good a guy got up on stage he was i think french

[01:41:18] and he was wearing like a orange boiler suit like gitmo bay style and he was very wacky it was like

[01:41:24] a very sort of character sort of thing it was really sort of wacky and people were like you have to work

[01:41:29] card as an audience in these places you have to actually you make up the atmosphere that's it

[01:41:35] in a stadium yeah you don't have to do that yeah but you're actually the one of the reasons i stopped

[01:41:39] is because it was exhausting like to let the late nights the schmoozing the networking it was exhausting

[01:41:46] and a lot of it was like men in their 30s and i just couldn't be fucked with it that's totally fair

[01:41:50] so you have to make the atmosphere for them it's a two-way thing and this guy got up and everyone

[01:41:57] was politely laughing and it was quite good and then so you got five minutes the idea was like

[01:42:03] five minutes is the general usually you get five minutes and this guy after about a minute started

[01:42:10] doing he did an impression of a chinese person and no one laughed and then he kept doing it

[01:42:17] and i've never felt worse in my life i was looking at my feet the tension in the room you could have

[01:42:22] cut it with a knife it was awful and the host said that's time up and he said oh that wasn't five

[01:42:30] minutes and she said yeah it was it was and so he sat back down he sat back down because it was he

[01:42:37] didn't he wouldn't stop doing the impression it was awful and at the end she she said

[01:42:47] this is my comedy night i organized we literally let anyone in and everyone thought that was

[01:42:53] hilarious and then the closer was a comedian that i went to uni with she's called erica eela

[01:43:00] and she's doing amazing you might have you've probably seen her online she's doing really well

[01:43:05] she's um half asian i don't know where in asia she's from but she's half asian and she was on the

[01:43:11] stage and i mean she's brilliant this obviously wasn't part of her set but she worked it in

[01:43:16] like she knew how to get the audience back on side so well like she was so good i was so grateful

[01:43:23] to her i was really so grateful i was like erica you're a fucking hero this is amazing so yeah i've

[01:43:30] seen some bad stuff yeah i i the last what did she say i can't remember now the last time you did

[01:43:37] this stand up we went yeah oh my god there was a guy i'm gonna be proud of this forever me and meg

[01:43:43] were laughing so much we broke excuse me okay we weren't no it was like i'm sorry it was like this guy

[01:43:49] was tailored to our personal senses of humor he was so funny we were there sat in a line and everyone

[01:43:58] else in the room like didn't really get it they didn't really get it chuckles but me and we were

[01:44:04] howling we were shaking i was there was tears coming out of my eyes and at one point at one point he broke

[01:44:10] character and he went thank you no he looked at us and he said don't laugh you'll make me go

[01:44:17] and we were like yes we did it we broke you everyone we were trying so hard to like this is also making it

[01:44:23] worse right trying so hard not to be distractingly loud with our laughter and like we were in like the

[01:44:28] second or third row and it wasn't a big room so we could fully he was just looking at us and it was oh

[01:44:33] it was so good and i am i'm proud that we broke a comedian there was a girl there doing a character

[01:44:40] called mama called mama pepperoni who was like she was like dressed like an italian grandmother and she

[01:44:47] she talked she talked like this and she was like i am mama pepperoni and it was oh cheese pizza

[01:44:54] cheese pizza and then she paused and she went

[01:44:59] she was so funny and then she paused again looked into the distance

[01:45:09] silence for ages and went

[01:45:14] oh it was so good anyway it was a night of alternative comedy and everyone that turned up

[01:45:22] was not there for alternative comedy we were we fucking were i performed there using my flute i played
