I'm with you man. This is their best episode. Truly brilliant. I think a lot of people don't get theme-ing, where you come back again to the same set-up and deepen it and sharpen it and take it to new levels. Best half-time coach talk ever. Best I saw You Coming ever. Live like Arabs? Genius.

The stuck up Scottish man is hilarious. Very well observed. My dads Scottish friend has lived in Sussex for about 30 years and has completely lost his accent, but still berates Englishmen and bangs on about it.

Mugabe was supposed to be another Mandela. Britain and persons like the Queen were heavily invested into anticolonial activity including sanctions. The result for both SA and Zimbabwe was disaster. Queen Elizabeth oversaw the extinction of her own people.

I like how it takes the mick out of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire contestants wittering on unnecessarily 😂

Brilliant. Thanks for not adding the horrendous canned laughter like your other series.

I find the opening credits even funnier, reminds me of Paul Whitehouse's role in The Death of Stalin.

Classic comedy of the highest order.

Laura Solon in the Cambridge sketch: babe

5:40 I think Harry Enfield's scots accent is loosely based on Gordon Jackson, whereas Paul Whitehouse may be basing his accent on Billy Connolly.

Pauls reaction at 3:16 made me die

The two office 'ladies', made me laugh so much. Uncanny, there was a real life 'Beryl Hayes' who worked back in the 1980's at an office in Thames Ditton. Kevin Eldon's comedy persona matches her mannerisms, dress and hairstyle so precisely I can't help thinking he must have encountered her and her oppo's whose sniping exchanges were exactly the same. Only difference, the old battle-axe smoked like a chimney.

This is such a hoot! When i was young, i mean a kid About 10yrs old, my parents would have people to the house who were like the posh gits here & me & my cousins would sit outside the room & mimic them all but really over the top Its true, sometimes they were so plummy voiced & cut glass accents we couldn't understand a word they said & just picked up the tone of their voices & slurred & made up gobbledegook & it sounded spot on! You'd hear mumble mumble snort then arf arf arf, guffaw guffaw Haw haw haw, wheeze, hic hic, Mumble mumble Then the older cousins & their Chums would congregate around the bottom of the stairs, talking absolute tripe! Trying to sound grown up but " trendy " & chatting in a totally desultory manner about absolute nonsense They didnt even have a clue about either but thought they sounded " top hole" Used to crack up us " youngsters" Fit to burst! I was happy that my teenage years were in the 1970s when we were all so cool & tried to sound as normal as everyone else cultivating as broad an accent of the working class & it was liberating for us, we hated the class system Thank god most of us are just ordinary & we never think of them & us these days Its rediculous & Paul & Harry demonstrate that point so well in their " posh blokes" sketches So brilliant!

paul is a great scot, boss that
