Harry Enfield's characters are genius. So many have aged really well - especially 'Considerably richer than you' Brummie.

@Elwaves2925 Рік тому

Agreed. I don't know if he ever had a name but I remember one about a married man whose wife was seeing someone else. He just accepted it and you could kind see why the wife didn't want him anymore. Then he ended up living at the bottom of the garden and I felt really sorry for him. It was a great ongoing series of skits.

How lovely to see Harry after sooo long. As to his characters, we’ll; ‘Tim nice but dim’ is now an adjective for me. It so perfectly describes some people and I don’t think anything will surpass Kevin and Perry. They are just THE definitive illustration of many teanager’s years. But the list just goes on. Just so many great observations on life and character born from that

@smokeandkippers Рік тому

I grew up on The Fast Show and Chums. I’m 50 now but can still recite sketches verbatim. 20 years ago I bumped into Harry near where I worked and plucked up the courage to say hello. He was kind enough to stop and pose for a photo under the clock in Marylebone High Street. He pulled “that” leering face as well. It’s one of my favourite pics.

I love Harry so much. He's literally my childhood hero. There is no one like him to thus day in my opinion. I do think some of these episodes could go on longer though. Also, I do think you could let your guests talk a a bit more about themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love your comical responses, but I do feel like some guests are sometimes cut off early. I think this episode might well have at least an hour of interesting footage from Harry which I would love to see as it's so rare to see an interview from him. Either way, thank you for bringing our comedy legends onto the platform and reminding us of the real comedic geniuses of our time. I just hope the new generations are "somehow" nurturing these type of comedy legends.
