It was a highlight but so, too, was the sketch in 'Only Fools and Horses' when Del-boy falls through the bar. Len

wasen't that funny sally, she had me in stitches. wonder how many times they had to shoot that scene. bryan.

Does anyone remember the Julie Walters sketch where she plays a doddery old waitress .....a la Mrs. Overall .......she comes out to Celia Imrie and the one who plays the plumber in the Dinnerladies.........she takes the order......soup.......writes it down........one soup, and another soup.......goes away.....slowly and comes back thumbs in the soup, spilling it all over......and so on........how Celia Imrie & the fella keep straight faces, I don't know.........

thanks everyone for your replies. if you and your partner ever fancy doing a ' party piece ' at xmas etc, just re-inact this sketch, and you will have a lot of fun :o) bryan.

.....from Olde London Town!!!!!!

oh, i remember that sue, and i think ronnie barker did a silent sketch involving ' removal men ' but i could be wrong. i do remember the phantom raspberry blower though. bryan.

Bryan, I do so agree, it is one of my all time favourites. Also there was another of those silent films Ronnie Barker did about a posh family who had rather a lot to drink with dinner and breakfast the next morning was so funny. They ate cereal which sounded like the 1812 overture because of their hangovers!! It always make me laugh just to think about it. Ronnie Barker is sadly missed. Sue

The Two Ronnies were brill , Monty Pythons were fantastic , Tommy Cooper was out of this world just used to look at him and burst out laughing

Bryan, Anne beat me to it but YES, YES, YES. Was hoping that was the sketch as I opened your thread! Daisy

Can anyone remember the programme The Two Ronnies did 'Beside the Seaside'? It had no dialogue at all, but it was so funny. The first time I watched I laughed so much. Those two are comic genuises.

Yes, Julie Walters is SO funny! Allie

brilliant allie, julie walters as mrs overall, is another classic.

While I agree about the Four Candles sketch, (and the Parrot one) I loved the Victoria Wood 'Acorn Antiques' sketches she used to do! Does this count as there was more than one? Allie x

similarly sally, whenever i hear anyone break wind, i giggle, as it always reminds me of inspector Clouseau, and several others, standing in a lift, and someone breaks wind rather loudly. apparently, they laughed so much filming it, that it took about fifteen takes to get it right, bryan.

I don't think that kind of comedy can ever be topped Bryan, all you have to do is say 'four candles' and you are immediately transported back to a small DIY/hardware shop, that could have been seen in any part of Britain at the time. The same with the Parrot sketch, how they did that without corpsing I do not know.

had thunderstorm here, so switched off computer. glad you liked it.... dan sometimes simple is best :o) bryan.

Bryan to answer your question ................... YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you sooo much! I said the other day that I was trying to remember the rest of the sketch. That's brilliant. Mags xx

It's too simple for me. Word play is ok, but I need more to tickle me. I was brought up on Spitting Image. Can't remember it now but apparently I loved it :-)

oh dan, how can you say you hate it? i like monty python too, i think some of their sketches are funny. i also love OFAH, and the ' inflatable dolls ' bryan.
