Those amongst us who are appropriately stricken in years (or who watch TV "Gold") will no doubt remember this brilliant series and a number of the sketches they brought us.

We recently got the kids a trampoline for the garden and I found myself singing "I like bouncing, boing, boing, boing. Up and down til I get a pain in me groin" etc. Cue confused / worried looks from Mrs BL and kids. Ahem!

Various others come to mind surprisingly often like "Trucking" and "If I had a bomb..." and various non-singing ones, too.

What sticks in your memory from this programme?
Over to you...

I loved the montages between sketches, two which i recall or a blend of the Pope doing his hand gestures and then cut to a booky doing his hand gestures. Also recall one of the Queen looking down some binos at the races then cut to a view of a heard of wilderbeasts on an African plain.

"Do you want Woofers? Do you want Tweeters? Do you want a bag on your head?"

"Put your head in between them and go blubble, blubble, blubble with American Express,"

"Mr Hawkins daughter to be phased in by 1995,"

Some of them were repeated a while back on Comedy Central and apart from the already mentioned sketches they looked very, very dated. Also look like they were shot very much on the cheap, some of the sets looked like they were from a school play.

Loved watching it when I was at school, and Constable Savage still makes me laugh.
