I have to ashamedly admit I have watched this series devoutly, purely because Bez is one of my boyhood idols.  I'm not looking forward to my mobile bill next month, all those bloody text messages! :-)

Do you remember the Mary Whitehouse Experience mickey takes of Bez?

:-D

History Today...

-edit-

You can tell they were largely unscripted, those sketches. Remeber the first one? David Baddiel almost wet himself trying not to laugh at the line

"that's 'coz it's been down your mum's bra..."

as a retort from Rob Newman's old professor character as to why his latest work smelled of poo...

-/edit-

Actually they didn't approach it that way; Rob Newman had this idea of "what would Bez do if...", such as if he had to get another job etc.

Then there was also the spin off "Bez's Science", where he aims to solve puzzles using logic and science. And invariably failed miserably, typically from being bombed out of his gourd.

@mdma

One of my all time favourite History Today sketches went something like this:

See an old, chipped saucer, propped awkardly against a brick in a dark, dank alleyway?

Is it a green saucer, from an institutional tea set?

Yes, and it has gone brown, where some tea has stained the white bits.

I have seen such an item amidst an assortment of discarded bric-a-brac.

That's your satellite dish, that is. That's what you use to watch sky television...

or something like that :lol:

Dunno why, but that one really floored me at time!
