Watched a little That Mitchell and Webb Look (initially for "Cricket, here in Yorkshire?") then The Armstrong and Miller Show, as they're about the same age.

Weird how in hindsight Armstrong and Miller is much more consistently good, even though it's much less well remembered. Most sketches are bangers, but Mitchell and Webb is half and half classics and duffers (some poorly aged, some flat at the time).

— When I was a lad, there was only one Germany. There was Latvia, and Lithuania, and Estonia. And Bosnia. Herzegovina. Serbia and Croatia. Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan... and then it all changed. And then it all changed back again. Those changes cost the life of 66 million people. But it didn't cost me a penny — because I kept my old atlas!

I've genuinely enjoyed although I discovered it only after the American version. I'm glad there's one more series but so sad to hear it's ending.

has become a favorite after watching several of the series CARRY ON ...

wiseguy looked tough but had just a dash of charm to make his characters fun.
