..was gonna say the exact same thing! classic..

The long pause in the dialogue after Mel's statement at 1:57 is brilliant. Griff's reaction is just priceless.

It's like Cook and Dudley brilliant

Rest in peace Mel, you were the best

Mel and Griff were brilliant along with Pam and of cause Rowan Atkinson. I was a Malaysian Chinese studying in London during the late 70s and never miss a show of "Not the 9'Oclock News". They sure don't make comedies like they use to. Brought back fond memories. Thanks for making my day. Hope you can post more Mel & Griff. Cheers mate!

Just came across this clip after many years, hoping the last 13 years have been wonderful for you.

I love the Beatles' song parodies. They sound great!

Absolutely classic and I love the Neil Innes pisstakes afterwards!

"You've been ugly as sin as long as I've known you." hahahaha Classic. RIP Mr Smith

Griff’s Jimi Hendrix impression was absolutely spot on. Brilliant.

Went to my local park in S E London/Kent around 7 years ago and spoke to a Woman. As an afterthought, as I was leaving,I asked her what she did and she replied that she was a singer. She said her Dad was in a Band. I asked who and it was Jimi !

I remember seeing this long, long, long ago. I always loved that imitation of Sir George Martin.

Amazing just how funny Griff can be without even saying anything RIP Mel sadly missed

RIP Mel Smith, such a great comedian :-D, sadly missed :-(

We'll miss you Mel. Thank you for the laughs. x

I'm a huge Beatles Fan. This stuff is brilliant. I can take a joke like anyone else. Says you? Who's says there joking. RIP Mel Smith and George Martin. You will be both be badly missed. I hope you were welcomed at the Gates by St Peter. God Bless.

For the longest time I remembered that bit with the record playing backwards saying "Paul McCartney's as dead as a doornail."

Just absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍

went to see these two in the 1980s in stockport (Davenport Theatre) fantastic loved the head to heads These two could have gone on to even greater things Never be forgotten ! RIP

THANK YOU - I remember the song from this episode so well even though I only saw it once. The only line from it I could remember was the classic "Damsons Ripen Under Gooseberry Skies". So glad that I have finally managed to find this clip!

It's actually "naughty knickers week in the *soaraway sun".* _'The soaraway Sun'_ was a 1970's ad schtick used by the tabloid after their sales soared in comparison to _'The Mirror" when they started to include cheesy content and topless Page 3 models. Ads appeared on TV such as: _*__'Don't miss week 2 of Naughty Nina reveals all in the soaraway Sun"._* Which was basically Nina Carter talking trash about her sex life in serialised form.

60, is no age to go! Me personally I like to see everybody die of older age, so sad to hear Mel Smith is no longer with us. May you find peace in Heaven Mate.

that Mr Kite parody is actually great

My favourite Jimi Hendrix track has always been the one that goes "ooooh-raaaagg-ooh-wowwww" Classic Hendrix

That is an excellent Lennon impression.

Brilliant Beatles spoof and head to head. Mel lives on -no death!

I've got that one, it's only a best of though, I'd like every series!

“I was one of the beautiful people”

rest in peace. childhood memories

Does anyone remember the sketch about a fighting holiday. Can't find it anywhere. I think they are one of the great underrated double acts. The head to heads were very well crafted. How we could do with that now !

Oasis must've listened to these Beatle tune spoofs. As well as the Rutles.

That mock Beatles song D.R.U.G.S. is fucking ace, yo.

Thank you so much for putting this on. It was from 1987, and was a welcome antidote to the eulogies celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sergeant Pepper. The Pepper spoof left me in agony, as I laughed so hard at the DRUGS song. Kudos too to the great Fluff Freeman for playing his part in this lampoon.

I search for a Smith & Jones sketch within they sit in front of the camera (thea are watching the TV set) and ate everithing there (first the popcorn and then flowers, tie ect.) because it is preoccupy them in 100%. After all (when the show is off in the tv-set) they back out and say: "It vas very boring". Would you send me this clip? Gza

They used to show Alas Smith And Jones on the A&E channel,b ack when it still showed stuff worth watching, in the 80's. I LOVED this show. My favorite bit is still the Ayushi Stereo Demo skit (also here on KZread).

Brilliant bit.............especially the drugs song..............." Well.....he was stoned out of his mind when he wrote that one ".

Same!!!
