Harry And Paul S04E03
First Broadcast: Sun 11th November 2012
The surgeons return to their youth as members of the Cambridge Footlights, the American cops get arrested, and Marcus meets his match in his 'I Saw You Coming' shop.

Man...I have watched this particular episode hundreds of times. HUNDREDS. It has helped me through difficult times and cheered me up for a couple of years now. I send it to people and they don't get it. But, I would like to thank you for posting this stuff. It makes life worth living.

[@ChrisHegan]

I'm with you man. This is their best episode. Truly brilliant. I think a lot of people don't get theme-ing, where you come back again to the same set-up and deepen it and sharpen it and take it to new levels. Best half-time coach talk ever. Best I saw You Coming ever. Live like Arabs? Genius.

[@chrisbirch4150]

so true on the theming thing. I rmemeber seeing the first season when it first aired and thinking it was ok....., but now they have built on all of the characters the genius of it comes through and it's like going back and watching a different show

9:38 A golden moment in the history of comedy, no less, forty years in the making, the cherry on top of an already classic body of work. Nil by mouth, all by association and referencing, Weltschmerz and agonizing ennui have never made me so happy before.

Mugabe was supposed to be another Mandela. Britain and persons like the Queen were heavily invested into anticolonial activity including sanctions. The result for both SA and Zimbabwe was disaster. Queen Elizabeth oversaw the extinction of her own people.

Harry and Paul are so funny. I miss this show. When will these two come back on tv?

[@roneisele-kindleauthor4504]

The two office 'ladies', made me laugh so much. Uncanny, there was a real life 'Beryl Hayes' who worked back in the 1980's at an office in Thames Ditton. Kevin Eldon's comedy persona matches her mannerisms, dress and hairstyle so precisely I can't help thinking he must have encountered her and her oppo's whose sniping exchanges were exactly the same. Only difference, the old battle-axe smoked like a chimney.

[@larryamigo2526]

Quite frankly, I’m waiting for a ‘Len Deighton Day’ to celebrate!

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

5:40 I think Harry Enfield's scots accent is loosely based on Gordon Jackson, whereas Paul Whitehouse may be basing his accent on Billy Connolly.

[@caskettsolo7925]

Harry Enfield in the Cambridge skit really reminds me of Tom Hanks! I love these two so much! Brits know comedy. And what was up with the guns??!! And who is that in the type writer sketch with Paul? The one in green? Just hilarious

[@krisinsaigon]

kevin eldon and the guns were from when the golfer at the start said he was thinking about how much fun it would be to do what arabs do

This is such a hoot! When i was young, i mean a kid About 10yrs old, my parents would have people to the house who were like the posh gits here & me & my cousins would sit outside the room & mimic them all but really over the top Its true, sometimes they were so plummy voiced & cut glass accents we couldn't understand a word they said & just picked up the tone of their voices & slurred & made up gobbledegook & it sounded spot on! You'd hear mumble mumble snort then arf arf arf, guffaw guffaw Haw haw haw, wheeze, hic hic, Mumble mumble Then the older cousins & their Chums would congregate around the bottom of the stairs, talking absolute tripe! Trying to sound grown up but " trendy " & chatting in a totally desultory manner about absolute nonsense They didnt even have a clue about either but thought they sounded " top hole" Used to crack up us " youngsters" Fit to burst! I was happy that my teenage years were in the 1970s when we were all so cool & tried to sound as normal as everyone else cultivating as broad an accent of the working class & it was liberating for us, we hated the class system Thank god most of us are just ordinary & we never think of them & us these days Its rediculous & Paul & Harry demonstrate that point so well in their " posh blokes" sketches So brilliant!
