    Don't think so. Perhaps you mean Gibson.

    There was a darts retro programme on Sky Sports tonight, that I was absently mindedly looking at in a bar, then this sketch came up, I thought it was part of the programme, but it turned out the channel had been changed to the news :(

    Holy Crap! :( Genuine sadness here, Not the Nine O'Clock News and the early Smith & Jones were great comedy. Colins Sandwich is a forgotten gem.

    I thought Colin's Sandwich was great. I haven't seen it in about 25 years, I don't know if it still holds up.

    I was in England when these were aired, the smith and jones work, had a big effect on my young mind, for the good.

    Notice how quite this thread is because anyone born in the last 20 years has no clue who we are talking about.

    TRUE... but also reinforces my loathing of the yoof today.. when I was a yoof.. I absolutely knew all about previous generations music/comedians/actors... just from listening to older sister/friends/parents family.. reading.. snippets from tv.. going out of my way to source copies of said comedy/music/. etc etc... there was no google in my day. aah! im j u s t o l d ! (and sorry sir_Badshot, but its "QUIET...not QUITE).. Ahem.

    True , for sure. Young folk today are shallow dicks generally ( there I said it).

    But the species must continue. unfortunately .

    ***I am not implying that the 80's/90's generation were funnier, smarter , more politically savvy, progressive and hopeful, ... you get the point**

    And yeah, we spelt bad but we did not care, thats the kinda peoplesles thet we were.

    Was only watching a re-run of Not The Nine O'Clock News last night. Great series. Loved the Swedish Chemist shop sketch. "I want a deodorant....." :D

    Yes, it's a great sketch.

    I wasn't even born when NTNOCN was originally broadcast. Doesn't stop me being a fan of classic 80's UK comedy though.
    I feel a bit sorry for people who are not familiar with Not the Nine O'clock News, Blackadder, The Young Ones and so much more great British comedy. They are really missing out. :(

    I know people who won't watch Fawlty Towers or the like because they're "too old", like they're somehow of no relevance to today.

    It's no surprise then that these people have the humour of a shìte drenched nappy.

    Ah still very relevant today. Enda must have taken some ideas from this sketch.
    Another observation, even though he would have been considered a little underslim at the time, ("I am fat" :confused:) from this video, he is positively svelte compared to the average punter of today.

    Very little decent political comedy on show these days.

    Ayatollah, Don't Khomeini closer....

    Brilliant sketch which parodies the famous Cleese/Palin v Bishop of Southwark/Malcolm Muggeridge face off on "Friday Night, Saturday Morning" BBC2 shortly after Life of Brian was released.
