Such a revelation - i didn't think much of this as a teenager back in the day, but watching it now... The difference in attitude is so vast compared to any of today's shows. Now there's this constant palpable tension of even having two seconds of dead air and most of today's presenters are so petrified of loosing your attention that they practically shout down the camera at you, as if to say 'like me, like me, like me!!!!'... 'must be a hit show, must be a hit show'. You feel so passive and the instinct is to recoil. But these guys were so chill, they made the viewer 'come to them'. They weren't so desperate, ultimately. Also much funnier than i remember. I miss the nineties.
Sonny Pike retired at age 18 without ever playing professionally. This show on the other hand was brilliant, I used to laugh myself silly at it while watching on a black and white TV while my parents were asleep as it was on late, only to burst out laughing and get a bollocking from dad for waking him up!.
@@webm8 I pray that all the videos on youtube about increased crime rate due to unchecked immigration and a police force that arrests people for what they post online are exaggerating. If they're true and Europe is being ruined because of fears of offending people that would be the saddest way for the West to fall. We certainly have similar problems here in the States.
Why have people given this a thumbs-up without knowing if it's true or not? Paul had nothing to do with the show until Fantasy World Cup in 1998, where he was tasked with watching a load of old football to find some funny bits. He also appeared in a few sketches. Andy Jacobs was The Series Producer for every episode bar the ones in 2004. They both worked on the show in 2004 in a very minor capacity.
