They are just showing the Going for an English sketch. It still makes me laugh.

What's your favourite old comedy programme?

I first heard the sketch on R4, very late on a Friday night as I was driving back from a night out.

They are doing all the alternative comedy of the 80s and 90s now. I feel very old.

Yes she did, she played a really old lady in Open all Hours and that was years ago. Shows just what a good actress she is.

I loved Jam even though it was dark as hell - in fact anything Chris Morris has ever been involved with. I do like my comedy and faves also include Kids in the Hall and Big Night Out from when I was a teen then Spaced, The Fast Show and not forgetting Linehan with Father Ted, Big Train and The IT Crowd. I used to watch old comedies like The Ladykillers with my grandad as well and loved those too.

I asked generally bu I'm watching the BBC2 programme and realising how many started out on BBC2 and that I have spent most of my life watching and laughing at comedies from BBC2.
