Armstrong and Miller Breakfast TV Viewers Emails

[@danteuk8024]

Bird Flu and Food Prices, are we sure this was 14 years ago and not last week ?

[@OFFtheCHIZANE]

Just needed to end with “and we’re just receiving some breaking news from Godalming…”

[@pikuorguk]

This sounds like every single Facebook "debate" that happens when an outrageous news story is posted in someone's feed.

[@BMakabre]

More likely Twitter now (just look at some of the BS about comic characters).

[@junbh2]

I loved it, and as soon as I finished watching I couldn't resist checking the comments on this video.

[@jimdeighan7078]

Such an underrated series, the Cheating sketches and the car salesman have me in stiches to this day

[@alanwakeish]

This show was never underrated. It has won BAFTA's for comedy.

[@josephinebennington7247]

It’s not, and never was, underrated.

[@markfox1545]

It was a major success you total, utter fuckwit. Why do morons keep saying this??

[@obadiahvondeath8048]

i still laugh at those twon WW2 Vets arguing over Peter Andre! "NOTHING? Was "Insania" nothing?" "no, my definition of"nothing" is Peter Andre!"

[@memphisdaniels3218]

It's the Blue Peter apologies that always get me back 😂

[@grantbartley483]

opening joke has new resonance now

[@flyingfeline7110]

Godalming, Malmsbury, Ipswich.... you have a lot to answer for 🤣

[@thefivepoints]

This show was really funny. 'The Origins of....' was classic.

[@wasserperson]

"Bird Flu, will we all die" -- these old jokes that didn't age well are evergreen

[@FiliusFidelis]

just switch it out for that OTHER flu which shall not be mentioned and you're good ;)

[@wasserperson]

@@FiliusFidelis I honestly can't tell if you're missing my point or agreeing with me unawares... Do you know what "evergreen" means?

[@Phuc_Yhou]

And the food prices the fault of the farmer's

[@jackdubz4247]

@@Phuc_Yhou Yes. Just ask Jacob Ress-Mogg.

[@The_Greedy_Orphan]

Farmer kind of reminds me of Derek Bird as well.

[@JohnSmithShields]

RIP Geoff the weatherman.

[@krashd]

Thankfully the subsequent harvests have all been bountiful.

[@NivMizzet89]

@@krashd I knew those dastardly farmers had to be behind it.

[@BanjoLuke1]

Holly and Philip... This is what you aspired to.... and almost achieved.

[@memphisdaniels3218]

It's clearly Charlie and Susannah

[@El3ctr1]

I like to think that they aren't actually reading emails but instead are passive aggressively arguing.

[@bradleyeric14]

The woman (sorry I don't know her name) is brilliant. The wincing and smiling, long suffering looks are all excellent.

[@listerofsmeg884]

The way Armstrong's character just trails off with the 'turning the gun on myself' comment is so well observed.

[@finncullen]

That's Ben Miller in costume

[@Winteriscoming...]

16 years ago! The news never changes. It just recycles.

[@clarerobinson2581]

Very funny. Reminds me of the letters page in Viz

[@petertaysum5563]

"it's one rule for them ..."

[@hamishanderson6738]

Letterbocks.

[@michael_gibbs]

There's something so funny about the name "Godalming" when it's repeated several times. Top tier writing.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Great place, I used to live there.

[@gospelofrye6881]

Meanwhile "Datchet" is funny when it's said just once.

[@Johnny-sj9sj]

Neasden? 🤔

[@listerofsmeg884]

i just like how he trails off in that classic TV presenter way with the line 'before turning the gun on ..myself'

And this was how Twitter started…

[@tango22ah]

15 years later these things are actually now happening in real life. Hope all is well in Godalling.

[@DavidEsp1]

Love her exaggerated glimpses and poses to camera - just like some of the real ones do!

[@allanlees299]

Unfortunately, this is less satire and more of an accurate representation of the mindless noise that TV pumps out every hour because ordinary people want this kind of thing.

[@memphisdaniels3218]

That opening was highly prophetic of BBC 2020 reporting 🙄

[@chrisst8922]

Miller pulls off the drag thing well.

[@thedolphin5428]

Just too true of those shows.

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

As regards to the bird flu, NO ONE GETS TO LIVE IN MY CAVE UNLESS I SAY SO.

[@stephennewton2777]

Is this a skit or just a clip from BBC Breakfast?

[@memphisdaniels3218]

The bird flu thing gives me 2020 bat flu vibes

[@rosanna20736]

@daniel655able It's not canned, they film it in front of an audience (and for bits they can't shoot in the studio, they show the tape of it and record the audience's laugh when they watch the tape)

[@philmalley7888]

I'd never seen this show until its been shown on youtube. Really no idea Alexander Armstrong was a comedian.

[@listerofsmeg884]

he's also an accomplished classical singer

[@thesaint8400]

Scarily accurate

[@garygramm6533]

Does anyone know where I can find the 'theatre sketch by A&M? Where they write the one-word reviews that you see outside the theatres (e.g. 'Magnificent!': The Observer) - only they write swear words instead.

[@Kevo216666]

@zatoichi12345 Charlie Brooker's legend.

[@zastorlexa9800]

So GMB.

[@tomsito365]

mate, bit weird seeing this clip after all that shit that just went down in England. The guy wasn't a farmer though but still! Prescient!

[@slobodanreka1088]

Were we really that scared about bird flu?

[@Kris.G]

People are still scared shirtless of shmovid so it's not that difficult to imagine.

[@krashd]

Influenza is a thousand times more contagious than Coronavirus so every time old H1 rears it's head doctor's hope it won't successfully make the jump from whatever animal it is in (birds, pigs, etc) to humans.

[@MattJames1958]

Not as good as the Mitchell and Webb viewers emails, but still good :)

[@listerofsmeg884]

Thanks for your 'reckon'.

[@Skelex20]

@armandin2048 0 thumbs up for a keyboard warrior who has nothing better to do than sit behind a screen and complain about how other people enjoyed a funny sketch? Sounds about right to me...

[@davepowell7168]

Funnier than Covid, the joke 99.9 % didn't get.

[@vooveks]

Presumably you mean* thanks to lockdowns, tireless vaccine research by medical experts and the choices of sensible people to wear masks, practice good hygiene and maintain social distancing wherever possible? Otherwise I'd have to assume you're one of those morons that got all their information from conspiracy-theory social media posts and thought they knew better than all the worlds leading epidemiologists, despite being poorly educated, and then takes every opportunity to display their tragic ignorance for all to see, with a level of smugness that can only be attributed to the Dunning Kreuger effect (look it up - or as you people like to say "do your own research"). *at least 40% of the world was infected at least once, so your 'joke' doesn't even work. Double tragic.

[@krashd]

767,972,961 confirmed cases as of the 12th of July 2023, which is 10% of the planet, total cases are estimated to be around 2 billion, which is just over 25% of the planet. The vast majority of cases will be in vaccinated persons and so symptoms may have been anywhere from non-noticeable to a strong cold depending on a person's constitution. The more you know.

K Russell good to know. I'll add these to my list to watch. I'll prolly have a go at 'em at least once. Chances are, I won't watch 'em at all. Though, I could be wrong... Chances are I'm not.

[@berniebasset9465]

Planet Earth. Frozen Planet. Blue Planet. Armstrong and Miller. Mitchell and Webb. Mock the Week. QI. Would I Lie to You. All worth paying for and that's just a snippet of content in the last decade. The BBC is for everyone, the content they produce is to please as wide an audience as possible, no one is going to like all of it. Your argument is shit.

[@Kevo216666]

@zatoichi12345 Na, Gervais and Merchant are turning into a bit of an institution. Maybe he's had too much exposure which pisses people off but they're the dogs doodahs IMO :)
