And that sketch shows how they really nailed the genre. They mixed dark with light - the episode where he sadly reminisces is genius. John Sullivan’s writing for Only Fools and Horses was just like that too at times. The contrast between sadness and laughter works really well.

I was always too beered up to appreciate it all those years ago. I find it even funnier now. My favourite sketch...

'The Fast Show' will always make me think of 'Jonnos' Nationalities' from when TWTD was a paper fanzine.

It was basically a spin off from Harry Enfield, I guess most people will think these days that Fast Show was better but I remain a Harry fan tbh.



Harry would get cancelled these days.

Here's my favourite Fast Show sketch, which came after loads of Ted and Ralph encounters building the dynamic.

If you have never seen it before, you are in for a treat- stay for the pay off- so worth it!

I’d have dated them the other way round. My memory is utterly shoite. Harry Enfield was excellent though. There doesn’t seem to be anyone like him (or the Fast Show) on TV now. Nor going back a bit further to Not the Nine O’Clock News. TWTD.

It is - but it was ok wasn’t it.

The other week I was scrolling through the channels at stupid o clock and Fast Show was on, pressed the button and had a laugh.

Time flys baby, Harry and FS had a load of guests on there that are now household names, they all look so young.

Doesn’t it make you feel old!

For all its many knockers, especially in the right wing press, the BBC has over the years produced many excellent comedy series.

One that has certainly stood the test of time, because it presaged modern media, is The Day Today.

Doesn't really work as live show for me, they're just wheeling out the characters for people to cheer the inevitable punchline.

The true genius of the fast show was in the name - it was fast. The shorter sketches were the best, you'd still be reeling from one daft pun when they would hit you with the next one.

Didn't they do a spin off with Sir and Ted? Once the sketches got longer and you knew what was coming it lost it's magic. Ironically akin to Colin the office vvanker, it was just a vehicle for people to quote the punchlines.
