Viz - Roger Mellie [Full HQ]

[@alsunday8254]

This should have a billion views!

[@wisteela]

I saw this way back in 1997 on VHS. So great to be able to watch it again.

[@Tomsm8]

was this only on video n not on the telly? i need more of these lol

[@loki2655]

The fact Peter Cook voiced this shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did hahaha

[@thebagelsproductions]

Harry Enfield doing another voice too , I hear

[@groovedealerfeaturing-ashl6476]

He was THE perfect choice, NO ONE could've done it so convincingly! This is truly a case of art reflecting the real world, such a shame irony has gone out of fashion and we now have endless 'reality' cr4p instead of the quality televisual experience this provides 😁

This is a precious record of comedy greats separated by a generation, working together. Unfortunately it also has a niche audience because of its content, so many will miss out on the fun. Sad lol But you have made the effort to put it out there, and it will survive. Boomshanka

[@Penfold-zr2be]

Mellie's pitches for new shows in Viz eg Celebrity Bumhole, Celebrity Shitbucket etc forecast the rise of low grade bilge like Big Brother, Love Island and Naked Attraction. He was ahead of his time!

[@RevJones48]

Celebrity Marbles up their arseholes is another that made me chuckle!

I found my father's old VHS of this well over a decade ago. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen then, and remains to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

Bobby Turkalino Too fucking right, mate. Derek and Clive made me the filthy fucker I became. His best performance in my opinion was as Mr Jolly in The Comic Strip Presents Mr Jolly Lives next door. "Just because my names Jolly, doesn't mean I have to be jolly all the fucking time". Classic Cook.

I love that Peter Cook proper goes for it and makes this a pure masterpiece......even though he probably only got paid £2.50.
