Brilliant genius Harry 👏 the days we had humour
Harry's attitude towards the flip chart was bang on.
I'm a lancashire lad and I honestly have to say that I like Yorskhire and the people. They are good humoured folk and they were hard grafters in the coal mines and in the stone quarries. Some real tough guys too. There are some beautiful sites and breath taking views in the dales. Lovely place to visit on a hot sunny summers day. I like the heritage of the small villages. Sorry southerners - but the Yorkshire folk get my vote everytime :)

Not just saying it but at 77yrs and raised and lived them in Leeds I have always preferred Lancashire folk. I have found them more disposed to humour ,sympathetic and cultured in the everyday sense..but that's just me...
Im from yorkshire and now live in hull,im seen as something of a sophisticate,I grew up in Bradford and i was 20 years old when I travelled the 15 miles to Leeds,it was worth it though!

Harry Enfield went to York University. His Stavros character was based on a bloke from a takeaway near the uni.
My stepdad was a Yorkshireman - softer spoken, but just as outspoken.
Any Yorkshireman offended by this isn’t a proper Yorkshireman! Bring back these days

I remember when this was shown on Tv back in the early nineties. It was and remains my favourite Harry Enfield sketch. The irony is I work in advertising, but can see the parody. We are full of shite at times! I know every word, and still find it funny. Pure comic sophistication - from Leeds!

I know. It's only a side-joke to the whole sketch but nobody would dare say anything like this these days even though it's all in good fun. It's mocking the people who have that kind of attitude, not actually making a point. Imagine this on the BBC now!
