Harry Enfield - Smashie and Nicey - The End Of An Era Part 1

[@harris176]

Used to have this on VHS, definately needs a DVD release. One of the best comedy classics of the 90's!

[@frederickvondinkerberg7721]

Whilst this wonderfully lampoons all of those good awful Radio One DJ's I can now see elements of Clarkson and Hammond in Smashie And Nicey...

[@richardenglish2195]

Best thing Harry and Paul have ever done. Super stuff!

[@TouringMars]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! I have this on VHS somewhere, but it's great to see it up on KZbin for people to enjoy and relish and savour in perpetuity - and afterwards!

[@omnivorousbiped2447]

My favorite Enfield and Whitehouse characters. They transcend the medium.

[@Weillfanatic]

Wow, I taped this back in the day, it was my ABSOLUTE favourite thing ever. Thank you SO much for uploading this.

[@noradosmith]

this is so ahead of its time

[@SixEightySeven]

Love this programme, Harry and Paul on top form. A BBC comedy tearing BBC Radio 1 to shreds. Only on the BBC.

[@masterofallhesurveys]

Thank you so much for uploading this.I taped it on VHS many moons ago and must have watched it a dozen times.Now I can bore my wife shitless by watching it again and again.Hoo RAH !!! Poptastic times beckon...

[@DetectiveDickBent]

That bit with the Beatles is brilliant! Very funny.

[@xtraspecialmango]

"How old are you, me darlin'?" I've been saying that since 1994 :)

[@ysgol3]

The Blue Peter / Freddie and the Dreamers bit is so soo funny.

[@chrishenniker5944]

I love the use of The Smiths Hang The DJ, it really encapsulates everything. I would love to write something as great as this.

[@carpypark]

Operation Yewtree-tastic!

[@modelcitizen2028]

8:00 Very appropriate use of Mantovani's Charmaine - says everything about Nicey that he'd be playing that in the background. 📺🎵👍

[@leitchee]

Havent seen this in years, cheers uploading classic stuff

[@NickForest999]

As the news breaks today that Nick Grimshaw is flabbergasted at being resigned the maxim “Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose” is never far away at R1/Fab FM😎

[@Gulftastic]

The 'Mike Smash's Childhood' bit is amazingly black comedy.

[@ItsFazsha]

I'm absolutely flabbergasted at being resigned. rofl

[@Triplesod]

Brilliant! Thanks for that. Very much appreciated!

[@MrTsVideoEmporium]

I've got the released video of this, it's got extra bits never shown on the TV ... so funny and so true to what went on at Radio One at the time :)

[@ClemenzaKimble]

Weh hey! Whoever has uploaded this is a hero. I can't find it anywhere. Don't think they've got it out on DVD.

[@stevenmorley1639]

Brilliant

[@NPA1001]

The funniest T.V. programe I have ever seen, used to own it on VHS so it's poptastic to see it again.

[@philipcordwell]

Can someone tell me why NONE of Harry Enfield's back catalogue has been released on DVD by the BBC?

[@TheGalacticEmperorOfLabels]

Political correctness.

[@outpost31737]

Because they are woke idiots.

[@mattyguy4286]

What are the name sof these other things? I want to watch them all

[@givethedjabj]

this needs a dvd release

[@clarkamondos]

excellent! can't wait to hear the bucking horse song again

[@puddypuss]

all good stuff. I think the hubristic self righteous swallow at 8.42 is such a nice summary of their outlook

[@katebriscoe6103]

Wow these two are such accurate copies of seventies DJs

[@BadDreamFancyDress]

Love this x

[@miketallent8462]

Enfield borders on genius at 1:18

[@omnivorousbiped2447]

I'd listen to links like that all day.

[@tufty7026]

Either I’m getting too old, or this has not been bettered since.

[@mrneutral8423]

Fucking hell this is sublime.

[@Steve-gc5nt]

It's nearly 30 years since that craptastic day when they were resigned from Fabb FM. It only seems liderally like three decades ago.

[@ChrisHenniker]

I would have expected Smashie and Nicey to have gone into PR or managerial roles. I can easily imagine them running a PR firm or an ad agency, even a consultancy.

[@pollmeister]

This is, quite liderally, the funniest comedy spoof documentary EVER EVER EVER. I wish they would release it on DVD.

[@smurfbike]

Also inspired by Tony Blackburn, Mike Reid and oh yes, Noel Edmunds! Poptastic!

[@chrislynn8746]

This was so funny, I hated Radio One and this summed it up perfectly.

[@PSDNGRAY-WLF-STAGGTTHDUBLG]

I am so sorry that you had to go through this shite Gaia. I truly am! NEVER AGAIN! EVER!

[@dadorrington]

thanks for saying:)

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

Love Harry Endfield explaining one foot in the grave haha :)

[@zenonifore4912]

How on earth did they manage to place Harry Enfield running behind an archive Freddie at 7:56? Impressive.

[@factorylad5071]

I2C video processor chips

[@mike65ie]

BBC Two are showing this again on Sunday 9th May 22.40

[@fredmila]

I watched this again now that they have just repeated it on the telly, I pissed myself laughing the same way as the first time round. Little Britain? nah!

[@green-isaac-ii]

I could never catch what George Harrison was saying in this interview...

[@mattlamb]

Does anyone remember a tape these two did for comic relief? Audio tape. I think it was called The Big Red Tape. I'd love to get hold of an MP3 of that now.

[@LFC5Eurocups]

Have Smashie and Nicey been arrested yet for those allegations from the 70's?

[@Mintsauce27]

"How old are you me darlin?"

[@minnietheminx]

Haha Alan Freeman in the walking frame and Kid Jenson falling downstairs!

[@douglasgreen437]

I always thought his character was based on Alan Freeman with a bit of Mike Reed....

[@frederickvondinkerberg7721]

It was a mixture of Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, Davis Lee Travis and Simon Bates

[@minnietheminx]

@@frederickvondinkerberg7721 And a bit of Tony Blackburn too I think

[@mr.mr.4957]

“We certainly can’t!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@oldfart4751]

Stand corrected I did mean to say Alan not Dave Freeman, don't know where that name came from! Yes he was nicknamed Fluff.

[@freshvisionmedia]

that was Pop-tastic

[@alisonoconnor8233]

They knew about Dave Lee Travis and Jimmy Saville. They called it years ago.

[@djmattblack]

Have Operation Yewtree been onto these two yet?

[@nationwidejazzman95]

whats the song at the beginning called?

[@epiccheesespam]

whats the name of the song that is at 5:28? :D

[@metafis]

Well, no..Alan Partridge character was first used by Steve on the radio 4 show 'On the hour' broadcast xmas 1991, over 2 years before this. These characters here were based on seventies style radio one DJ's, who were all losing their jobs by the nineties.

[@robicenco1]

Yes - but Smashie and Nicey were created in 1990 so they pre-date (meaningfully) Partridge, "End of an Era" was their last major TV appearance.

[@itsmephil2255]

I'm guessing this was pretty similer to DLT leaving radio 1

[@radio-su6lh]

Think Harry Enfield said it was loosely based on his departure and the other older DJ's that were forced out from Radio 1 then.

[@retrobob3802]

It's the fake ice from True Lies at 6:34.

[@billyh88uk]

I remember seeing 7:18 seperately from this programme years ago, genuinely thinking it was a real clip and wondering who the hell that guy in the middle was.

[@porsche911fun]

true mate, airbrush-mungusly true! hahah priceless british gold

[@puddypuss]

very good , of course. I always thought that they could have used 'elo'. would have been slightly better as the 'always played group' rather than bachman turner, as I remember elo always being on radio 1 in the eighties, and just to say that I didnt mind them either.

[@j43ms]

no worries mate!

[@ajb7876]

6.48 "dont you wish you"d had a childhood like mine" Oh that bit is creepy!

[@arizonabay1970]

5.23 - how hard does that kid land?

[@j43ms]

look up: beatles "day by day" 1963

[@mrbillhicks]

1.15 could this be the start of Pauls Green army obession ?

[@PeriphVision]

"TOP TURN!"

[@hoss1962]

07:25 The funniest thing about the Blue Peter presenter rubbing Nicey's belly is that the other presenter seems to be trying to look at his crotch...:)

[@grahamgreen988]

Destroyed Dave Lee Travis's career

[@rotorking]

No his name was Alan "fluff" Freeman right mate..not aff

[@Triplesod]

Anyone fancy giving us a link to the original Beatles interview? Thanks in advance.

[@oldfart4751]

At the start of the video Dave Nice knocks over an old man with a Zimmer frame this was Dave Freeman a D J from the the 60's, that Harry Enfield based his character on.

[@douglasgreen437]

It was Alan Freeman....

[@krisscanlon4051]

Did he say here's Hawkwind??? Hahaha

[@Dirkchucklebutty]

"Here's Hawkwind lol" :)

[@EloiseDecember]

me funny farmstead lol

[@gavinreid8937]

S&N was a tribute not a piss take but the BBC took it the wrong way. Also "out of touch licence funded Radio 1 " had 99% of the listening figures meaning Commercial radio was getting f-all & woulda saved a coupla quid if it didnt exist.

[@lucyhurst2534]

…..the fuck are you on about?

[@IgorsDen]

I'd take Blackburn, Bates, Reid etc. over Moyles anyday. I'd certainly take Smashie and Nicey over him; if only they were real.

[@SirGuetapens]

young friends eh??? could they be referencing the twin beasts Saville and DLT smong others?

[@TECHNOIR]

The real joke is that now, no soul would complain about an out of touch fella playing Bachman Turner Overdrive on the old wireless. I have always found this profoundly depressing - it';s on the nose but it's very excoriating and sharp, leaning to acrid.

[@nationwidejazzman95]

@ddemaine cheers

[@katebriscoe6103]

Progumentary film 😂

[@cymro6537]

5:40 - 6:55 😳

[@vaj99]

popadoodledoo!!!

[@regdwight6108]

coming home from the bloodbath that was arnheim on the history channel i don't resent the lads talking shit over someone calle bachman turner overdrive/ more power to your elbow mate!

[@celt67]

What a humongously youtubetabulous video..in a sort of flashvideo posted on the internet type way...

[@ybot1983]

7.09 enfields trying not to laugh

[@DBMarcos99]

Not so funny now? Is IT????? Lock them all up...

[@Guedingen]

Great - pompous, self-important 'DJs'

[@sannimcable]

Lol radio fab fm

[@sannimcable]

Back stab trocious 😆

[@GirGir183]

Good Lord...Nicey is Gay!!
