It's very curious, but 'Newman & Baddiel' as they were known, were _the_ pinnacle of British TV comedy for a coupla years. They were the rock stars of comedy. Oddly, though, their TV show comprised sketches mainly done individually. Clearly each comedian wrote sketches for themselves without inclusion of the other. The rare exception was the History guys (above) where they both parried childish insults. Later it turned out that this wasn't by accident - the pair actually hated each others' guts and _didn't_ want to work together - especially when they took their show on tour.

By a long way. Baddiel was in two respected comedy duos and was the weakest link in both.

[@davidmannion7333]

Rob Newman went on to concentrate more on political stand up work like his Apocalypso Now show, sort of stand up comedy crossed with a lecture - never going to get him a gig on some panel show but great nonetheless.

[@BassandoForte]

​@davidmannion7333 - That format worked for Stewart Lee though...

[@RevStickleback]

Newman was definitely tipped to be the star, but he seemed to suffer from crippling insecurity, and a big ego, and the two really don't mix. I saw him at a small gig in my home town when he was trying a comeback, and he refused to do an encore because the crowd weren't enthusiastic enough. He actually came over to the PA booth, where the guy had said something like "if we cheer enough, maybe he'll do some more", and shouted "No! If they have to be told to ask for it, I'm not doing it!" like some emotional schoolboy.

Newman and Baddiel (that's how it is spelt .. sorry) were seen as the rock and roll guys of modern comedy in the 1990s. Their stage show sold out Wembley Arena. 12,000 people came to see their show there, unheard of for early 90s comedy.

I saw them live in Dublin in 1993, supported by Sean Lock, from memory. It felt like they were the apex of that British "lad" culture, with a dotted line to Brit-pop of the mid 90s. I liked David Baddiel but he was the weaker of the two. He went on to become a successful author and TV presenter, and also co-wrote a number one single. Rob Newman's punchline "Oh, hi Rachel" remains one of my favourites. Although they had a very poor relationship, I believe fences were mended in recent years and all is well with the world.

They couldn't work out whether we were serious or not; alternating between laughing and looking shocked. "Your bike, is a girl's bike". "I don't have a bike". "Oh yes you do....AND it's a girl's bike". And, yes, we had a book each on us so we could do "My Life As A Prostitute by your Mum" and "Pepys' Diary".

Loved this when it was part of the Mary Whitehouse Experience, and then later in Newman & Baddiel. Never really had much of a roast culture in the UK, so this really breaks down to two old highly educated men, arguing about highbrow subject matter until it degenerates into school yard level insults. Truly a genius idea. Oh and BCG vaccine is one for tuberculosis that had at school. Often a source of ribbing in high school. I still remember going for mine and seeing my mate limping past, obviously in pain, as he came from his. Asked why he was limping and he told me they inject the vaccine in your arse cheek. They don’t, it’s your arm and still got the scar to prove it, but he got me.

To fully appreciate this, it helps to know there really were serious television discussion programs like this on the BBC in the 1970s and 80s.

One extra detail to add: _The Mary Whitehouse Experience_ took its name from a conservative activist of that name who argued against social permissiveness from the 1960s onwards, and who founded The National Viewers' and Listeners' Association as a pressure group to campaign for taste and decency on TV etc., which mostly involved trying get stuff banned on the grounds that she didn't like the sex and profanity it supposedly contained. Calling their show _TMWE_ was a way of saying to teenagers at home "she won't like this much, so it'll be right up your street."
