I think I need to acquire the taste for this - it's a bit odd, but I guess it's supposed to be! Me and my brothers were huge RWT fans. It helps cos we saw and remember the rubbish tv shows they used to put on. Made RWT look polished. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I'm not commenting because, never having watched RWT for parental reasons, I'm just doing my best to keep up.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

I'm guessing this is the bit that CB thought that a little un-PC, although it seems to be a comment on the shallowness of beauty contests.
Vote Og.

This is actually a very clever sketch. So far, they have all been clever, I think. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I think I need to acquire the taste for this - it's a bit odd, but I guess it's supposed to be! Me and my brothers were huge RWT fans. I'm ashamed to say this is the first I've heard of it. |

I was right and OSP and TT were wrong. IIRC. |

I might have to watch more of that to see if I can get into it. Thanks for the company - will continue to join in when I can on Tuesdays, but as for Thursdays, probably won't again until October! Vote Og.

In terms of what's next... Someone said 'I Clav-Divs' (I, Claudius) is on Internet Archive. Could watch half, break for The Rutles, then watch the other half. Just an idea. |
