All the well known bits are all there is. It’s difficult with that sort of humour to see why some works and some doesn’t. Reeves and Mortimer have experienced this as well.

I finally got to listen to it at a friend's house, but I'm afraid that I didn't find it at all funny. Peter Cook in a brief cameo at the start of the first episode of 'The Black Adder' always makes me laugh though.

Not a comedy sketch but this Sunday 10.20pm on ITV is Mike Basset. If you've never seen it you are in for a treat, supposedly based on Graham Taylor it reminds me more of Big Sam. Great moment when a drunk Mike Basset is dancing on the tables in his underpants, not a pretty sight. Pele walks in with a journalist talking about the beautiful games takes one look and say "the English" and quickly steers her out the door. Love this movie.

The Rowan Atkinson piano mime in the first Secret Policeman's Ball - brilliant, clever and very funny.
