Liked that, I remember when House of Elliott first came out, brilliant series & this was a fantastic send up. I wonder if the gorgeous Stella Gonet & super sexy Louise Lombard managed to complete the scene in one take without collapsing into fits of giggles;-)
Every time I watch this, I die laughing! I loved 'House of Elliott' dearly, and this parody is very funny - and doubly funny - since F & S parody themselves, too! Hilarious when Dawn suddenly slips into the 'Upstairs, Downstairs' dialogue about Hudson! F & S are absolutely fabulous!
Can anyone help?!? I am looking for a F&S spoof they did on a BBC hostital show - don't know the name. Saunders played a doctor and Frence a policeman or ambulance driver. Someone must have it posted somewhere, HELP
This is a scream! A fan of the House of Elliot series I've enjoyed these delightful scenes - replayed. Amazing! Thank you. When will the series be continued ... waiting ... waiting ... loved the music, the flow of photography, the well established characters, the scenes, and the fashions! Funny too!
wat the lady with specs told??cant get it quite though!! s she sue perkins?i think its some quite a cracker as i can kno from the audience's respone...anyways...its one heluva sketch...f and s rockz....jen s so smokin hot n this one...WOW!!!
The lady in the specs is called Tilly (which was the character in the series for The House Of Elliot, which this sketch is a spin off from). She is played by Kathy Burke. After she says "Why don't we use Velcro" she goes on to whisper "I'll just go back" before she returns to the workshop.
I love their reactions when they are caught red handed, and try the 'Upstairs Downstairs' routine, but then act all surprised when they 'see' them, hilarious!
This is still really really funny even after all this time. What a great idea putting the silver Saab in. French and Saunders are brilliant and I love the Scottish accent.
ROFL. This is one of the funniest sketches French&Saunders have done! I'm a massive fan of them and also The House Of Eliott. Every time I watch the House Of Eliott now, I have trouble keeping a straight face sometimes as Jennifer Saunders looked so much like Bea in this one!Lol.
I don't want to go in her office! Best part!

I wonder if Stella Gonet was able to do that about face, look at Jennifer Saunders as Bea, and keep a straight face on the first take.
