Christmas TV With Interrupting Mother | French & Saunders: Christmas Special '88 | BBC Comedy Greats

[@fredsmith-kingofthelunatic7810]

It is ridiculously scary how much this resembles my mother and sister.

[@spmoran4703]

And my mother .

[@jakecavendish3470]

This is how I imagine the Queen and Queen Mother at Balmoral c. 1975

[@Aleksa_Milicevic]

“All I ever do is heroin, Mum” 😅

[@kbhprinsesse]

Best line ever!

[@billschmut8736]

Co-dependant relationship in action…eerily accurate and scarier than any horror flick… 😬 😳

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

This is definitely NOT a co dependent relationship

[@gra-emed3617]

Classic French and Saunders 😆 and Dawn had helped me settle an argument. I was mocked for calling the remote “the control” at work 🤣

[@TayWoode]

Was it a gen z by any chance? I was laughed at for saying film instead of movie by people who have a habit of calling anything “wholesome”

[@JayEey]

Love this. I see myself re the historical inaccuracies and other family members in them both.

[@smooney717]

Edina Monsoon and her mother back in the day?

[@kaysmith8992]

That's what I was thinking

[@DovZeev]

Without a doubt

[@wutheringheightsboy]

Totally

[@73kdt]

100%

[@oztrace6016]

Oh my god that is my mother 🤦‍♀️ I’d laugh but it’s way to close to home to enjoy lol

[@kennixox262]

These two are simply brilliant. Was living in the UK when that was on. Totally forgot about that.

[@captaintreepig993]

I recognise myself too much in this!😂

[@angelabrooke5059]

honest of you but I could see some touches of myself too. Sobering

[@toddbeaton1512]

french and saunders are so amazing

[@davidpar2]

It’s Edina when she was still Edwina

[@ismayb754]

"Edwina dear".

[@janestratton8571]

My Mum used to do this!!!!

[@musicsavage]

I love Jennifer with this hair !

[@Kelsbels15]

I thought it was Kate Benkinsale in the thumbnail 😂

[@davidseclecticmadness]

Jennifer is really beautiful. Even when she played a rough, strung-out teenager.

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

Jen does an amazing "straight man". And yet she probably wrote this whole thing.

[@5cloudwalker]

art imitates life 😂😂😂😂❤

[@maxsommers6843]

They never repeat this special on GOLD. Or the Witless Silence one.

[@marthastubbs8321]

Saunders waa gorgeous

[@minnietheminx]

Gogglebox!

[@jimp4170]

Rasputin the gerbil.

[@briangaron7609]

I named my rats after the demons in Dante's Inferno lol

[@sueleitch6396]

Lol😂

[@spmoran4703]

I wonder if they ever knew my mother. Its Just like her. I never went to a Acid house. I was similar to the young woman.

[@faithmapstone9982]

Come back on! ⭐

[@lynndenault4212]

😂😂😂

[@ianmiller2349]

In...the...BIN... please........thankyou

[@romeo9017]

So true..

[@lancechinnian4043]

Classic!

[@gettrick32]

When do you visit Runcorn WA7

[@nikyboyable]

🤣🤣🤣

[@juliaphillips7963]

I can't watch because it's my mom . It's called narcissism.

[@briangaron7609]

I think I may be turning into mine I just keep getting judgier the older I get

[@albertsmyth9616]

⁠@@briangaron7609I know! So do I! As Oscar Wilde wrote; “Every woman becomes their mother. That's their tragedy. And no man becomes his. That's his tragedy.” Not true: I’m turning into my mother.

[@franrowe8696]

Is it?

[@Alicetheamethyst]

What is narcissistic about her behaviour?

[@albertsmyth9616]

@@Alicetheamethyst Everything.

[@angelafoxmusic7265]

Oh, Been there...🙄

[@JerjerB]

I am that mom... But I'm a man and don't have any kids lol

[@rolfdejonge3915]

✌️🤠

[@curiositypiqued6573]

Like a role reversal of absolutely fabulous out of typecast character change for saunders lol ...this had zero laughs wasn't funny perhaps partly because we all know someone who has had or had ourselves this kind of toxic narcissistic so-called parents/parenting forcing u to drag up yourself

[@bexsta7766]

Meghan markle and liilibet 😂😂😂

[@goodiesguy]

Comedy Greats, French & Saunders. Pick one. These two are awful.

[@susanc4622]

Lacked the usual French & Saunders wit; maybe the snippet was too small.

[@johnmurray6636]

Brilliant

[@stephaniestj5237]

I like French and Saunders - though more so in the individual work they've both done - V.O.D, Ab Fab etc... DF seems to be a very poor version of Hyacinth Bucket here, while JS is her usual drippy/spaced out "Edina."

[@EasyGrace]

Clever? Maybe. Funny? Never in a million years!

[@francisbtube]

No not funny, hilarious! 😂

[@borleyboo5613]

These two are about as funny as haemorrhoids.

[@stephenking6396]

They are brilliant you boring old fart

[@AntFlynn]

How successful have you been in your pathetic life

[@lucyhurst2534]

Your opinion is noted, now bore off Borely.

[@Jane-ff4xi]

Gasp!

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

Never new haermorrhoids were hilarious!😉👍
