In this second episode of 'Filthy, Rich & Catflap', Richie has miraculously landed a job on television - as a panelist on a drab game show entitled 'Oo-er, Sounds A Bit Rude' ( based loosely on 'Blankety Blank', hosted by the late Les Dawson ). It is a disaster. Richie fights with the other panellists, makes inappropriate ad-libs and causes the director ( Chris Barrie ) to almost have a nervous breakdown.
Whilst wandering around the studio corridors, Richie finds a dressing room belonging to The Nolan Sisters. After entering, he tries on one of their costumes and dances about in their shower, only then for them to walk in and bust him. They then tell him that unless he provides them with £1000 within seven days they will report him not only to the police but to the press as well.
Enlisting on the help of his minder Eddie, the two decide to dabble in art and so start selling paintings on the street ( which are nothing more than just childish squiggles ) which, somewhat improbably, attract the interest of a French art critic...
A good episode, though the end drags on a bit more than it needs to. The Nolans are greeted with great warmth by the studio audience, particularly with a closing credits sequence in which they perform 'In The Mood'. It is somewhat sad now to watch in the knowledge that one of the girls is no longer with us. Bernie Nolan died in 2013 of breast cancer. She was only 52.
Many of Britain's most popular comedians appear here in small roles. We have, of course, Chris Barrie, Harry Enfield, Gareth Hale and David Baddiel. Stephen Fry plays P'Farty the art critic whilst Hugh Laurie plays his partner N'Bend.
Funniest bit - Richie being beaten up by the game show panellists!
