Comedy for ELT - The Builder

[@m0rfans]

1:28 - that huge cheer/laugh from the audience. Took several takes apparently as when he pulled the sheet off it would knock bits over. When it went right, they cheered. :-)

[@MrNickmi]

An interesting detail... I hadn't noticed... :-) :-)

I wondered why Griff was struggling to keep a straight face!

I have just spent about 40 minutes transcribing this for our college Comic Relief show and then realized you had already done it! Thanks for the upload, I remember watching this as a kid.

[@MrNickmi]

Sorry for this... :-) You may want to have a look at some of the other clips under 'Comedy for ELT'. There are scripts for all of them. [And yes, I totally agree with you - it takes ages! :-) ]

RIP Mel Smith, by all accounts from people who met him a really lovely bloke.

[@navylaks2]

This has got to be the best sketch they've ever done;)

[@MrNickmi]

I didn't know... So sorry to hear this...

[@MrNickmi]

It's simply hilarious! :-) But there are others as well - you may want to check out 'Comedy for ELT - Job Interview'... Smith and Jones are among the all-time greats!

Grommets in a building 😂

A literary reference in a comedy sketch. Don't see much of this nowadays.

What's VAT?

[@AndersPuschel]

The vague additions to the total. ;-)

[@AndersPuschel]

No, seriously, it's sales tax: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_tax

[@philipmonihan8222]

Is this Not the 9:00 News?

[@MrNickmi]

No - I think it's 'Alas Smith and Jones'

[@philipmonihan8222]

@@MrNickmi Ah, thank you.

[@JensHove]

So not aliens :-(

[@AndersPuschel]

A cockney builder would be rather alien to Ancient Egypt.
