Mickey calling Carol a dirty cow when she suggested spring onion or pineapple in the cottage cheese! Classic Big Fat Quiz moment!

[@andymcneil7085]

Yes! Almost pissed myself at that point.

[@hc4jd]

The look in Stephen's eyes when he says 'seminal' at 14:35 is amazing! Just like 'yeah i said that!'. Hysterical.

[@GarioTheRock]

27:28 "...essence of Scouse..." always cracks me up, Micky losing it is just the nail in the coffin, hilarious.

[@turkish1x]

pretty sure its licensing shit, they can't, kinda like how songs have left GTA

[@buckosoft]

It's weird because in the shorts, I've seen the Bolero bit, and the D&D bit. I would have loved to see Hasselhoff because I never heard of that. (Although I was shocked when I lived there how big of a musical star he was. Absolutely huge! Eww!)

[@LandedatRoswell]

I just pulled up Black Lace - Agadoo on KZbin’s what is the unholy hell did I just watch?! My phone is going to remember that now. It’s in my search history. I’m going to have to create a new identity and get a new phone, AGAIN!

[@harleyrose666]

I bloody love Stephen Mangan 🖤🖤🖤 what a legend 🥰🥰

[@jasonhare8540]

Why are all the images and videos removed . It's a little bit annoying to have no idea what's being talked about a quarter of the time.

[@aramanon]

What? Because they only paid for rights to use the clips on TV not KZbin, plus many things especially music are monitored for copyright automatically by bots and the channel can get closed down if the KZbin doesn't like something in one video. Very sad to marginally reduce the free gratis fun.

[@ClaudeSac]

And still claiming a ‘Full Episode’... really shitty.

[@ClaudeSac]

@Teamgeist it is genuinely paid for, by a monthly withdrawal from my account. I collect the souls of unsuspecting commenters, put those in my account, and just make sure I always have a sufficient number in that account. Thanks btw.

[@briandavis6898]

Watching this, I realize British pop culture is completely different than in the US.

[@Tht1Gy]

From the States: So, I went to google images to search Samantha Fox, as I had no idea who she was. I have to say, she hasn't lost a step. She was a stunning beauty in the 80s, she was a stunning beauty when this show was made, AND she is still a stunning beauty in 2022, or whenever her "recent photos" were taken.

[@mrquirky3626]

I don't think she ever really broke through in America. As a Canadian I still remember her from the 80s because her song "Touch Me" was every where and a friend of mine snuck her Playboy issue into high school one day.

It's a pity there are some clips missing. Funniest moment was Carol asking if they were brothers or twins. She's supposed to be the genius

[@eolsunder]

she's just a math genius, knowing 1 thing doesn't make you smart in other areas. She's hot and curvy and happens to be good at math. No guy on the planet cares if she is good at math they just want her in a tight outfit because she's good looking

So I’m watching this on 2024, and I can not believe how attracted I am to Carol Vorderman. I’m 34, and based on loose research she’s at least 50 here, but my god I can not believe it. She might be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. There’s a lot of bias here, especially based on my own age, but I didn’t know a human could age that gracefully. Even if work was done, I don’t know, she’s absolutely gorgeous.

I can remember the days when Siri kept butting in uninvited before I turned her off when on one of these occasions this attention seeker interrupted when not asked and I muttered under my breath ‘Oh fuck off’ only to get the reply ‘ You don’t have to be so rude’. I thought it was very amusing to have got this reaction from a robot. But on the other hand the recognition of an insult albeit programmed is a bit worrying. When we learn to imbue them with emotions we will be on the road to extinction.
