Drop The Dead Donkey

[PhilTheFragger]

Watching a re-run of this on freeview channel 8
Absolutely loved it when it was first shown and it hasn't aged at all, still cutting satire at its best

Watch it or miss out especially if you are under 35

One of my favourites.:thup:

Apparently it was scarily accurate of Sky News at that time.

 

[Imurg]

One of the best.
Wonderfully written and the characters are waaayy over the top.

Got all the DVD's. Hilarious viewing. Henry and Gus were brilliant characters.

Always remember Henry's threat if someone solved a crossword clue for him: "My rage will make Krakatoa sound like an earwig's fart!"

It was a brilliant show, some of the stunts Damien (Stephen Tompkinson) got up to to get stories were hilarious

Wow I had forgotten it was that old a show.

Great show, superbly written and performed. Very sharp, witty and current.

Co-written by Andy Hamilton, if you like his stuff you should try the radio series "Old Harry's Game". Very good.

A favorite in our house :thup:

 

[Pin-seeker]

I've never seen it
I'll have to give it a go.

Anyone here remember a radio show Andy Hamilton was partly involved in called "Lenin of the Rovers"? Starred Alexei Sayle as the balding midfield communist leader of Felchester Rovers, football's first truly left-wing club. Absolutely brilliant.
