Until this show all I knew about Shawaddywaddy (sp?) was as a running Hugh Dennis joke on Mock the Week. Didn't even realize they were a musical group until now.
During the second world war, so I read, there were youth protesters called zazous, who wore long, 'loud' coats, and otherwise copied British clothing, carrying umbrellas, and speaking English.
@@MajesticDemonLord Oh God. If it were in English, at least we could assume he has an assistant to handle it like most competent politicians. Instead, it probably all comes from his own head. I shudder to think.
@@@MajesticDemonLord Honestly asking, what is it that you like about him?? Is it that he keeps himself well polished like a "classic English gentleman"?? Or is there something else?? I don't really know much about him (except that he has very conservative views).
blaise marcc Theres nothing wrong with Paul, he's just got his hair brushed back (which doesn't really suit him) and he's playing a part. That's my estimation anyway! Actually he does look quite tired! And we're all getting older lol! (Mrs L)
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
I'm pretty sure Paul is just doing it for the money, and Ian is only there from some honor code or contractual obligation. They're just never as invested any more...
I've been a fan of this show since the 90s...I was happy with guest presenters, but the past few years has been such a mixed bag...must this show pander to the sad wave of social-justice-pc crap that is flooding our streets? Nearly every week we have some lefty windbag dragging the comedy out by the scruff of its neck and shining a sad light of social fakery in its face. Ugh. Remember when Boris was host? Now those episodes were funny.
