A
sound bite of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai kick starts the show, declaring
that "The Government just take the piss." Stew refers to this as he & Rich start proceedings, pointing out that conservative MP William Waldergreve used to make late night phone calls to him, mocking the fact that his mother bought a betamax video recorder back in 1982. They indulge in a bit of Gary Glitter teasing (referring to newspaper reports that the fallen singer is, actually, bald!)before Rich then mentions that they've also had their picture in the paper this week, in The Sunday Times "Culture" section. He proudly announces how his mother - a teacher at Blackfield Middle School in Somerset - had held it up to her class to impressed reactions. Stew points out that the children would have been impressed with anything that Rich's mum showed them, because they are - after all - from Somerset before explaining why he doesn't like having his picture in the papers, as he doesn't like being recognised. A short porn shop sketch follows, detailing Stew's account of trying buy a copy of "Lesbian Licky Lick" in a Soho video shop. Note the "Greek Chorus" effect used - something rarely employed in most Porn Shop Comedy sketches. On returning to the Studio, Peter Baynham is back for the first of this week's "Natural Breaks". This
week, Peter's ideas include "Twiglets sucked through milk"
and "Budget Swiss Roll". With the news that Rod "Emu" Hull & Duncan "Chase Me" Norvell have both been victims of terrible debt and have had to give up their mansion-style homes, Rich suggests an unusual combination of the two performers involving Duncan Norvell sitting on Rod Hull's clenched fist, while lunging at people's genitals. Back
to Jamiroquai now, and his thoughts on the poll tax. Basically, his
solution to the unpopular "Poll Tax" is that all the poor
people should pay £100 and all the rich people should pay £1000.
It's that simple. To find out if this would work, they invite Dean
of the Business School at Plymouth University, Don King onto the show
to dissect the idea & work out the pros & cons.. A sketch
about Barnett Football Club follows this up, and follows all the players
getting sold on to various "ordinary" buyers just to keep
afloat. The first to go is Carl Hoddle, who has been sold for a million
pounds, to Chessington World Of Adventures. He will be enchained there
in his own enclosure where he will be expected to jump hoops, catch
fish in his mouth, and give display to the footballing skills that
have made him famous. Returning
to the Studio, Peter's back for his second natural break. Grooming
is on the agenda this time round. Stew's
set off into another "True Fable" by Rich mentioning "The
Ant & The Grasshopper" story. With Rich & Stew this week have been the actor, Kevin Eldon, Jo Unwin, & Peter Baynham. |
