As an alcoholic (though in recovery and currently 3 years and 2:months clean & sober) I don't take any offence from this sketch. I'd watch these fellas during my teen years and find them funnier now than back then. Comedy like this is what the World needs.

Watching proper comedy like this in your teens is why your not offended. You have grown up having a laugh. The offended of today didn’t grow with proper comedy so take offence when they hear it

I wish Hale and Pace was back on TV. So much funnier than some of the “comedies” of today

Just about pissed myself. That was the funniest things I seen for a while These guys are gold. .

That last joke is particularly apposite given that Pace's real first name is Norman.

Imagine this being aired on mainstream national TV these days! I bet even the Barlows from Corrie attending AA wouldn't be allowed!

I'll never gonna forget the first time I watched this...

one of the funniest sketches I've ever seen!!!

"yeah I'm fine!, apart from the drink problem of course."

This is how anonymous alcoholics meetings should look, it actually makes purpose to the anonymity stuff

A lot of Amercian's may not get British humor. But I get this-totally. Very funny.

@@gotch09 I sort was replying to Jonathan's comment to you with a little deliberate sarcasm because I didn't like his scathing take on British humour. However, he is quite entitled to his opinion and perhaps I shouldn't have challenged it. Each to our own. It's all all subjective anyway.

Reminds me of the Fast Show sketch at the AA meeting 'Anyone fancy a pint?'

John Thomson's acting was good in that sketch.

Dont know how many times ive watched this . I crack up every time hahahaha !!!

I had my last drink in 1982. This is the first time I've seen this sketch. There are no prizes for guessing where I probably was on the evening it first aired. The brown paper bag over the head is only for the first year though. Then you graduate to a simple masks which reduce in size over time until you are down to what we call the lone ranger. At 41 years sober I only have to wear a tiny conical party hat now. Remember folks, there is no problem or difficulty in life that a drink could not make worse

Yeah, i'm a total piss artist! Classic...

The reason I don't drink alcohol:

Hale N pace was a brilliant comedy duo funny silly sketches esp when they did the public menace skit about the deadly...DOUBLE BUGGY!! ..remember it? Its a.pity they are not on tv anymore as we could do with their silly humour to brighten us all up rather than some of the po faced sueudo itelectuall humour from some of so called comedians nowadays

loved it.......merry xmas..............

I haven't gotten a paperbag... so I'm in the clear.

Is it just me or does the guy in the suit sound like it could be Geoffrey off the children's programme "Rainbow"?

Genius

Better watch. The laughter police will say this is off limits. Most things are now.

Dad? Mum? Garrryyyy!!!
