Best Comedy ever made

In my opinion it was the funniest show I ever saw with the likes of beat your brains out and the bare balloon dancers. Probably one of the funniest moments for me was the pre credit sequence at the start of episode 4 when they had a Tennis violence match and they all had to try and commit the most violent act on the umpire in order to gain a higher fine. Helen Atkinson Wood was an American using four letter words and Lenny, who Chris Tarrant referred to as a six foot nig nog threw grenades at him. Finally Bob Carolgees tried everything, but when he failed he finally gave in and mooned Chris. Then it all ended when Alexi Sayle pulled out a Bazooka to blow up Chris, who finally said in a very weak voice, new balls please.
