Harry and Paul - The Henley Royal Northerner Show 2008

[@owenmayes2128]

This is the sort of well made serious quality documentaries that the BBC used to be famous and well-respected for. It'd be good if the BBC were to go back to making this kind of fascinating, cultural and educational material. 👌🏼

[@taxus750]

I thoroughly agree. What we need is the sort of short but informative fillum Mr. Chomondley-Warner and his chum Mr. Grayson used to produce - that would be just the ticket.

[@johnmccrae1102]

No not now.Its run by left wing clipboards.

Harry and Paul - The Henley Royal Northerner Show 2008 0422am 12.1.24 trouble with Harry Enfield is that he's spot on. akin to his coffee shop skits... it REALLY is like that. far more liable to descend into violence, though... as opposed to hurdling the vagaries of verbiage...

Absolutely brilliant humour, when we could laugh at ourselves. Love from Scotland.

[@MrBaldypete1]

See, I like this reply. Spot on. Harry and Paul took the piss out of all of us from all over the UK, all based on stereotypes and we all laughed our bollocks off at it. All the best from London, mate!

[@Senna-xi1gr]

Yes we are not allowed to laugh at anything or anyone in England now. Once the kings of comedy. Very sad. Even the BBC is a non event now. The quality of terrestrial tv is terrible, just repeating its self every day. I just listen to music now & if I want to watch a movie I will look for old greats on utube.
