As someone who has experienced privatised British trains, those lines were the strongest line of satire

[@Mulletmanalive]

The weird part is that they were private and noticeably less terrible at the time the skit is set, prior to their seizure by the war government and nationalisation by Labour in 48.

[@Peterleverton]

the plastic dome is in reference to the actual Millennium Dome that was build to celebrate the year 2000 and was filled with basically pointless exhibitions. It's now called the O2 Arena, which houses a 20,000 seater gig venue, a shopping mall, loads of restaurants and a cinema.

[@djashley2002]

And hence the massive turkey!

[@ianjardine7324]

The biggest issue that made people angry with the dome wasn't the pointless crap they filled it with or the ridiculous cost it was the fact it was deliberately designed to last no more than a couple of decades pretty soon it'll either fall apart or they'll have to spend the GDP of a small country on repairs.

[@georgeadams6254]

I went to the dome as a kid and it was probably the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced. Such a shame.

[@carldurrell9943]

I actually went to exhibition at Millennium Dome and like it said on ticket it was one amazing Day in my opinion anyway, I have happy memories of that day, it annoyed me at time how media were speaking to people criticising the event who never actually attended it.

'The railways will be given to private companies, to be run more efficiently.' Absolute genius.

[@hanwalker7408]

Harry Enfield is a legend. Saw him on stage with Paul Whitehouse in a West End comedy revue one evening and laughed and laughed all the way home

[@donmongoose]

Still really hoping you watch Harry's "women: know your limits!" sketch, its my favourite and I still go back to it from time to time.

[@belperite]

The funniest bit about 2:04 is the jab about privatised railways. In reality, service has got worse, prices have gone up and many of the companies are foreign owned - by foreign states!

[@dtz1000]

I think that last bit where harry was "having it large", is a reference to his movie Kevin and Perry Go Large. It's so 1990s to say that.

[@winterbas8927]

The railways being privatised and running on time is a piss take because they were privatised in reality and it's highly debatable if anything improved.

[@adamcashin4021]

They made a slight mistake here (not on improving as that was obviously a joke). But the skit says its 63 years to 2001, so 1938. The Trains weren't nationalized until 1948 when the Government bought the private train companies.

[@peterbrown1012]

They said they were privatised so that they wouldn't swallow up public funds, the privatised railways now get more funding than British Rail ever had for a far worse service while the "profits " are given to shareholders.

[@spudgunn8695]

Highly debatable if anything improved? It's got a hundred times worse!

[@PaulusEagle]

Bowl gag is a nod to the Millennium Dome now known as the O2 Arena in London.

[@lmcgregoruk]

Yeah, pretty much everyone said it was going to be a waste of money, except Tony Blair and the government who seemed to think it was going to be equivalent to The Sydney Opera House or The Eiffel Tower or something.

[@pipoo1]

@@lmcgregorukactually the Dome was commissioned by the outgoing Tory Government under Major. Labour inherited it in May 1997 and with just two years to the millennium the money had already been largely spent. Its thanks to the Blair Government the O2 arena was born as the Tories had made no plan for what to do with it afterwards.

[@ianmacpherson7620]

KB, remember on The Inbetweeners, when the lads went on work placement, and Will ended up in a garage? One of the mechanics called him Cholmondley-Warner because he spoke so proper. This is where he got that from.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

He failed to spot the head mechanic is also the same criminal in the it crowd

[@nicksykes4575]

People have explained the tupperware bowl, and I think the enormous turkey is referencing the London Eye.

[@nicksykes4575]

@@johnatkinson7126I imagine this was filmed before they knew how successful the eye would be, plus, if they meant the Millennium Bridge, I doubt they'd have used the word enormous, and pointed high in the air.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

I tried "jollity" several decades ago. A jolly massive rave was had by all that evening I can tell you. A hit song came out around that time, which we all played on our gramophones and at all the best balls, and the lyrics went something like: "Js are jolly good, Js are jolly good, Js are really jolly good. Has anyone got any Jollities? Lovely!"* *Look up The Shamen and you'll get my drift.

[@noblestsavage1742]

yes i recollect that. the jollities qualities started to go down after that. i did enjoy the japanese aeroplane jollities.

[@1979Frankyboy]

90s comedy here in the UK was by far the best. Check out Alan Partridge, The Day Today and Brass Eye.

[@judithingham4319]

This is a very clever skit satirising "progress". Viewers are noted to observe that what looks on the surface as absurd miscalculation by filmmakers from the 1930s has actually come true, e.g. women working outside the home but still being expected to do most of the housework, cooking and childcare.

[@jimb9063]

That's exactly what a friend of mine said to everyone who hadn't gone but thought they knew better. Different argument to whether other things should have been funded instead, or how badly the project was managed etc. I suppose believing the outcome was rubbish helps to confirm you were right if you were against the idea of it from the start.

The "Giant Tupperware Bowl" is a mickey-take out of the Millennium Dome that was built in Greenwich, London. When it opened to the public in January 2020 it featured numerous pointless 'zones' as they didn't really plan what to do with it after using it as a giant party venue for NYE for the Queen and Tony Blair. It's now called the O2 and hosts concerts and stuff (Fun Fact, I've been there a couple of times to watching taping of WWE Raw when it came to the UK)
