When I visited Gran Canaria back in June 1999, and the local Tv Channel doing the live forecast from the roof of their studio in Las Palmas, all I could hear was Scorchio.
It's the colour contrast that I like. Like Channel 9 goes out on 624 lines and the conversion doesn't quite work. I read somewhere that BBC technicians at Kingsdown Warren put no end of effort into making programmes made here look convincingly like programmes made there. Another thing is Paul Whitehouse's faintly militarist costume. Like he's on loan from one of Pinochet's ministries.
@@lambertovitali3152Because changing the number of lines is not a like-for-like process ? On a CRT tube television it was analogue and not like digital where each colour has an exact number.
And also that you can’t quite work out where it’s meant to be set. They’re all speaking variations on Spanish and Esperanto, but the names are derived from Greek, fashion and technology is 20-30 years behind ours, but people go there on holiday so it’s not cut off from the world, and yet El Presidente is in charge and modelled on Pinochet etc. it’s actually quite funny how much effort they went to!
Certainly puts the present relatively minor problem of global warming into some kind of perspective. Clearly things in the metrilogicous past have been a lot worse
Go to Spain, sit in a crappy hotel all weekend in just your underwear, living on pizza, cigarettes and wine, and watch this shit non stop. Its fucken 🔥!!!!!
It really takes talent to make gibberish sound like language and they are really inventive. The whole business of associating pictures you can't understand with language you can't understand is very familiar to anyone who has watched tv in a foreign language.
@@Pragnantweggyboard ones an henpecked husband that cant get a word in, the other is a couple disgusted at anything that is outside their normality . You could quite easily say these two on the Fast Show a total copy of the relationship of Basil and Cybil Fawlty. Henpecked husband/ nagging wife.
