    Following a prompt from Binners I dusted off the boxset (yes it was thick with dust!) and started watching.

    Wow. Its not humour you have to ‘get back into’. Its just there and funny.

    Brian’s use of The Vase behind the bar is a classic comedy prop. Up there with Eric Morcambe and his brown paper bag.

    The sequence where they are singing in the front of the van is one of the best bits of TV ever, in my opinion. Hilarious series!

    Its well worth digging out “that peter kay thing” as well. I like the young lad who works in the bingo and hates it.

    “that peter kay thing”

    It’s just that northerners seem to get the humour, no disrispectin’, MrsBouy is from Northumberland and she giggles like a child when it’s on…

    I once saw that Peter Kay fellow in a scetch sliding across a stage pretending to be a 7yr old, that was funny.

    total class, and one of my fave comedy progs of recent years

    one of my faves is Spencers interview,

    Jerry: – any experience?

    Spencer: – not only have I watched cocktail 6 times, I’ve also been an inkeeper.

    Jerry: – Where?

    Spencer: – Bethlehem, in St Peters ground breaking performance of the Nativity

    Going to dig out my boxset this weekend I think and have a rewatch

    Just brilliant the depth of comedy is amazing. I never understood how ‘The Office’ got all of the attention (maybe it’s because I’m a northerner).

    The scene with Keith Laird the fire safety guy was a cracker ‘He’s drawing a dog!’

    The final two episodes of the second series were a very good way to bow out. I remember stars in their eyes had me crying with laughter.
