im bored, gimme 5 mins and ill type up the story behind that clip... its an oldy but a goodie

it turns out that at the bbc christmas parties years and years ago it was tradition for the programs to make a spoof show, and it was aired at the parties, much to their drunken (and probabbly stoned) amusement, this is one of thoose christmas party spoofs. <

not many got leaked onto the net, but this one seems to have made it

They used to do the same thing at DC Thomson's in Dundee....A guy I knew wrote the Three Bears for the Dandy (or Beano?), and showed me their 'alternative' Christmas party versions!! Wish I had a copy.

I've had that saved on my computer for years, it's a brilliant sketch that one

never knew the story behind it before though, cheers for sharing that one.

Did you know that it used to be John Leslie in the Bungle suit? I've always wondered what could of happened to Rod Jane & Freddy? Anyone know?

Not heard that one before but if its true then perhaps Rod, Jane and Freddy ended up getting their twangers out and starring in some of John Leslie's "adult" films 8)

FWIW I know that Geoffrey ended up as a manager for B&Q
