Both actors are superb. Stephen Fry is no doubt lovely in real life, but he is such an insufferable git in this piece. I just loved it :)

This actually makes complete sense: e.g. Morecambe and Wise used recycled materials from old variety shows, sometimes even recycled their own sketches, sometimes the jokes weren't even funny per se. But they made them hysterically funny due to their talent.

It’s so frustrating when you KNOW you’ve seen the type of comedy they’re referencing, but can’t remember one specific example. Pulling the camera in, laughing, Northern accent, typical variety show fare- can anyone cite an example we can find online?

Sorry, the town was extremely small, so much so that the signposts with the name of the town when you enter it were next to each other as there wasn't enough room for spacing between them, the joke being that if the entrance signposts were back to back there wouldn't be a town at all.

The general form of this category of joke: "I'm not saying A, but B". Where B is a fact which graphically demonstrates the extreme validity of A. Eg. "I'm not saying my mother-in-law is fat but when she was lying on the beach last summer, Greenpeace came along and pushed her back into the sea."
