Very funny, and very clever, 2 September 2005
Author:
steve-barry-1 from Isle of Wight, England
This was a short lived series of 10 or 20 minute episodes put out on
BBC2 in the late 80's / early 90's. The premise was simple. Devise a
ludicrous story about normal events, then search Pathe, BBC, NBC, etc
archives to find suitable B&W footage to support the stories. After
assembling this, find some talented voice over artists (Jim Broadbent,
Ronnie Anacona, etc) and voilà, you have a winning formula for a cult
TV show.
Me and my flat-mates used to literally cry with laughter at the absurd
story lines and the stupid images accompanying it.
Favourite episodes:
The Queen Mother loses her favourite Corgi "Shafty-boy". Barry "Bazza"
Bagshaw, the nations favourite sportsman. A Welsh child stops believing
in Jesus so the Pope cancels Christmas
