I used to love The Fast Show, but I didnt find it funny tonight, maybe its dated now, especially the awful Benny Hill bit at the end. Would rather have the memories of the old episodes. Not even Suits You Sir ! The wheelchair sketch was a bit uncalled for I thought.
Wheelchair sketch didn't do anything for me but I loved the rest of it. Especially Swiss Toni likening riding a bike to making love to a beautiful woman.
I used to like it but it`s dated. I used to like Rowley Birkin (the drunk old man in the Gentlemans` club) and I think he would still be quite funny. I have recorded it to watch when I get home but I expect I will fast forward through most of it.
Is it back on then ? The first time I saw that show I thought it seemed good. Then watching a few more I realised they were all identical, and lost interest.
What caught my eye here was a reference to bad Benny Hill. Surely something almost as rare as hen's teeth !
It was very leaden. I'm working my way though a recently-bought boxset of the original shows and there's a vivacity about them that was missing from last night's offering.
