...apply in the case of Two Pints. If you get it, then you will love it and savor it for the comedy gold that it is. If you don't, then you will probably just find it immature and vile. I love the show and have purchased the boxset for the first reason. I also think, whilst being simple in some places the show carries a deeper meaning under the concept of being in your face. The characters are very real and you actually do come to laugh and cry with ...

...with the untimely death of Ronnie Barker. After introducing their comedic chemistry and archaic sketches from The Two Ronnies to a new generation, and his brief re-introduction to TV, Ronnie left us to reflect and watch umpteen repeats of his work that will never bore or cease to crease our faces. Right then, enough of dwelling, you want to know what this is like. Well......... its a DVD box set!! Seriously, 12 discs of Ronnie in various series ...
...name Norman Stanley Fletcher, arguably Ronnie Barker's most famous character. I won't dwell too much here just to say it was et in Slade prision following the batle between 'them and us' with plenty of laughs on the way. My personal favourite occurs in the first episode when they receive their medicals. Remember the flasks? This set presents you with all the episodes and the Christmas specials. These specials are 40 minutes long but there are only ...

...this misheard lyric may constitute the Goodies's most significant contribution to popular culture in the 1990s: an astonishing fall from grace for a comedy combo that were a bedrock of the BBC's light entertainment output in the 1970s. How did this happen? For all the while that Messrs Garden, Oddie and Brooke-Taylor languished as a trace memory for a generation, the BBC were merrily flogging the wares of most of their contemporaries on video, and ...
...as successful. What exactly had the Goodies done to deserve such ostracising? Did they kidnap and eat children as they slept? Were they responsible for Idi Amin's regime in Uganda? Was 'The Funky Gibbon' really that bad? 'Here We Come, Into Town...' The constituent parts of The Goodies fell together at Cambridge University in the mid 1960s: Tim Brooke-Taylor studying law, Graeme Garden studying medicine (hence his occasional utilisation in ...

Review of The Goodies At Last! (DVD)

3 Non Blondes

Advantages: Hilarious provided me with non stop laughter
Disadvantages: Doesn't really meet everybody's tastes and not everyone finds it funny.

3 Non Blondes was screened on BBC3, a channel that isn't watched by that many people compared to many other TV Channels. However, when i watched one episode of this comical, reality show it caught my attention immediately. The show features 3 big, black women let loose on the streets. The girls dress up and perform on camera with members of the public, who are unknowingly starring in a tv show. What makes this show so funny, apart from the great ...
...shame, is the public reaction to the women. The public's faces are a real treat, and even if you don't find all the sketches featured very funny the public reaction will make you laugh. I loved sitting down, turning this show on and not knowing what was to happen. The three women are so spontaneous with what they do, their personalities are reflected through their public performances and it adds magic to the show. I am aware that the the sketches ...
