Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned Live At London's West End

Couldn't see it on youtube so here is an old video of Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned Live At London's West End from 2001.

18:38 Haha! Frank Skinner's comedy improv skills were always second to none. His ability to immediately find the funniest possible line is remarkable. Baddiel throws him right under a bus there, and yet he manages to effortlessly pick out 'What do we do with the drunken sailor' in that tune. I remember reading Frank's autobiography. He tells of when he was first starting to make waves as a newcomer in the comedy scene, he was going down a storm at the Edinburgh Festival and David, already established as Newman and Baddiel, was in the audience. David was really impressed with Frank's show, and decided to test him out by randomly shouting out "Don't I know you from medical school?" to see how he'd deal with such a bizarre heckle. Frank immediately responded "Oh yeah, weren't you the one in the jar?". Phenomenal.

[@brianm2881]

Totally agree. It's really uncanny. There was one episode of unplanned where two girls were doing the secretary thing. One of them mishandled the mic in some way and some piece came off it. Frank teased them a little bit and one of the girls said, "Stop taking the mick!", to which Frank immediately replied, "Stop *breaking* the mic(k)!"

I bought this from Virgin on vhs in 2002...best 99p I ever spent.

[@myster.ejones1306]

scott forsyth. You were robbed! 😊

[@5340robert]

I got this on sale in hmv in about 2002 also.

[@tucosalamanca5194]

I got this for free like everything else best nothing I've ever not spent

[@munster.8978]

VHS a blast from the past 😂 😂 😂

[@revivedfears]

That's actually pretty cheap for 2002. Shops still sold loads of vhs back then. Up until 2004/5 is when DVD really started taking over in the UK. I worked in a music shop back then.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Thanks mate. Loved this show much back in the day!

[@sirjambon]

Wow thanks for uploading this! I had it on VHS as a kid, watched it loads! Can't wait to see the show again

[@matthewcullen1298]

I love the atmosphere of the British comedy shows. A real audience participation

[@richuk69]

43:00 Frank Skinner is a comedy genius!

[@stephenkidd8232]

I used to have this on VHS. Frank's justification of outside toilets is so funny.

[@jamesg8175]

I miss this show.

[@dannyboy_dannyboy8274]

[@Antacid420]

30:11 someone should send this clip to that girl 🤔 its been about 26 years

[@Jamie_Dodger]

Wonder if Tim is still married?

[@AICabal]

I wonder where and what Sarah is doing now. She's only a year younger than me.

[@odw_99]

Frank’s impression of Elvis Costello actually isn’t bad😂

[@dannyboy_dannyboy8274]

It’s fooking so on point!

[@garethreeves6090]

47:26 for anyone looking.

[@MacStoker]

[@royfr8136]

90's and ear;ly '00s comedy ... Before it's death... and the end of Frank being funny.

[@kobylee911]

Frank is funny, he is Allan Partridge in real life

[@lfc_40]

What did we think to Baddiel apologising to Jason Lee??

[@mark5439]

[@greigsanderson]

Frank Skinners honking pink shirt it 3 sizes to big. Look at the size of it. Lol

[@revivedfears]

Late 90's fashion man. Button down shirts were massive!

[@nudisco300]

When men dressed like men rather than wearing all that skin tight stuff like now.

'Did you have any input with regards to the....' Builder trying hard to sound clever.

[@grahamparr3933]

This must be old, ten pence for a cup of tea!

[@chapeljohn9462]

43:22 'I wondered, erm, if Russia invaded Turkey from the rear, would Greece help?' Oh, god... XDXD Writing it out does not do it justice!!

[@royfr8136]

The pupil barrister is just as annoying all these years after

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

I know this is a bit random but I remember an episode of Unplanned where Frank made a joke(possibly involving a pun) about Down's syndrome and then said something like "That's probably the only joke about Down's syndrome you can do that won't offend anyone." Has anybody come across that on here or can you remember exactly what he said?

[@jamesg8175]

I actually know this moment. It comes from the question, why are rubber ducks yellow? It's an episode in series 4

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

@@jamesg8175 Thanks for the reply. There are some episodes from that series on here, so I may come across that joke when I get a chance to watch said shows.

[@BunniMonster]

​@@Ernest_Thesiger S05E05 10:45 for the Down's joke. It was a callback to David's story about trying to break up a duck gangbang.

[@Ernest_Thesiger]

@@BunniMonster Thanks for that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn6spqSHbduoZpo

[@johnanthonyp]

David Badiell likes a double act

[@sukibahra8229]

ýý

[@wesleyminett6524]

why does Skinner team up with an unfunny Baddiel??....aways puzzled me

[@garyphisher7375]

Baddiel's entire career revolved around him partnering someone who was funny.

[@johnanthonyp]

David-posh lad-don't work

[@neilcarroll4579]

The female Barrister annoyed Me, trying to be smart all the time, no wonder she chose to train to be a Barrister.

[@BroskiRIP]

Didn't quite work as a show.

[@terrytibbs5678]

David Baddiel is such a comedic talent. This evening would be a disaster without him to carry Frank Skinner.

[@royfr8136]

Baddeil is good. But imagine him alone? Ive seen his stand up and prefer Frank's.

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

Guys, they're both funny

[@PalmerPerspectivePodcast]

*terry tibbs* I think it would be the other way round. I think frank would carry baddiel.

[@Head-or-Dead]

Jack Williams You don't like either one of them so why the fuck are you here?

[@markbailey1970]

They play off each other superbly

[@johnanthonyp]

Frank and the useless comic and I was listening to his other-so unfunny
