Title: British humour: Reeves & Mortimer and the Fast Show
Post by: mvansand76 on December 08, 2006, 04:37:07 pm

Hiya-
Some of the Europeans on this board might be familiar with the British genius comic duo Reeves & Mortimer, who were quite popular in the beginning and mid-90's...

I just wanted to post these links to three of their sketches.

The Fast Show was another classic, and one of the best sketches from this show was Country Matters with Bob Fleming. From the BBC: Genial host of Country Matters, Bob Fleming is a man with a cough. Like a trouper he doesn't let it stop him filming, but it does render most of what he says unintelligible.
Here he is:

Have fun!  ;)
