A Fistful of Travellers' Cheques

First of all, the plot summary is complete bs.Calling the main characters "students" is a total fabrication.They never say that AND they never mention their names.Yet somehow that is what the summary contains.It also says they want "to live out their dream of being in a spaghetti Western".More lies.It's weird how idiots can just make up lies and they end up becoming "facts" on a lame website.Anyway, this is probably one of the funniest episodes of The Comic Strip Presents.Most of the actors play multiple characters and for some reason I always enjoy that.This is the only time that Keith Allen was ever funny.Plus he looks Chris D'elia and that is funny on a different level.All of the characters are truly funny and that's rare for this series.You need to see this.

this is probably my favourite of the comic strip episodes, the pastiches are terrific, with unforgettable one-liners and homages to the classic westerns we all know. rik mayall and peter richardson are absolutely brilliant as the two leads, with adrian edmondson turning in a hilarious performance as billy balfour 'the man with no name'. this was one of the very few episodes which rik mayall co-wrote, and there are definite bits or lines that just scream out 'rik wrote this bit!', and with peter richardson and pete richens writing it too, there were plenty of typical comic strip style jokes. this is one episode that you should definitely see, you most certainly won't regret this half hour of pure genius.
