When I was a young man we had a local GP who had his practice in his local house. We would all huddle together in the tiny waiting room whilst he would diagnose each patient in the adjoining room. He had a very loud voice and you could hear every word he said. You would often see people get up and leave rather than take their turn.

I go to a urologist that does the same thing. His office has 4 examining rooms, and you can usually hear him in the adjoining room before he gets to you. Apparently, the woman in the room next door to mine has pretty severe vaginal dryness.

Haven't had such a good laugh in years! Thank you and Happy Bumming!

Oh lordy I forgot how damn good Harry Enfield was, I was literally in tears, bloody great.

Depicting an Afrikaans expat living in the UK with the Afrikaans Englishisms is so spot on, never mind the totally spot on uncouthness...omg I laughed so much. Thank you Harry Enfield you absolute genius of a comic legend. The best bit is how he pronouced "pbeynus" and the "mushrooms growing"...omg I pissed myself laughing...i might need to go to the Chemist myself just now!

I came across a rude uncouth South African chemist in 1997 when in Cape Town. I had had a bad dose of the Gobi Trots and I went into his pharmacy to get some rehydration salts. He thought it very funny to take the piss out of me in front of other customers.

I used to love Harry Enfield's programmes but don't remember this character at all. Love it :)

As a Community Pharmacist, I have learned many, many social 'secrets'. Making these secrets known is beyond belief......

"Apply the ointment to your weeping sores every two hours."🤣

In the first sketch, the actress playing Mrs Bridges is Georgie Glen, who plays the very prim Miss Higgins in the later series of Call The Midwife, the voice is unmistakeable

Harry is a legend.

Love Harry & Paul! MINA! I had a Dr who bore more than a passing resemblance to the Embarrassing Chemist. After he spoke loudly about my issues, I never dared show my face there again! Amazingly observant sketch from the obnoxious Saffa Chemist to the blithely passive Mina! Brillllliant!

The funny thing is in the mid nineties in New Zealand we had a big influx of South African medical people. Doctors, Pharmacists etc. In my town of 60K people, 3 medical centers sprung up. Can report this pharmacist is 100% accurate.

Absolutely brilliant!! Can't believe I hadn't seen those Harry Enfield sketches before... superb!

I went into the chemist once as skin was peeling on my foot and I wasn't sure if it was athletes foot so I explain at the counter and they say "oh the pharmacist will be out to see you in a minute". There's like 5 people waiting for prescriptions. A few minutes later the pharmacist comes out and shouts "Right! Who's foot am I looking at?"... I had to make a joke about it but decorum isn't always their fine point.

It cracks me up when he shouts at the assistant. “MENA!!”
