John Cleese does a really good job of parodying the biased cricket commentator. The particular case has him being really partial to England, but there is a sweeping resemblance between the commentators who choose to see the good only in their side that runs through the cricketing world.
"Anyway, England have played extremely well for nothing. Not a sausage.", and of course...
"Cowdrey is not out naught, Norton is not in Knott is in and he's naught not out. Norton of Northants took a nasty knock on the nuts in the nets last night but it's nothing of note...."
@CharlotteC94 I believe Douglas Adams was a writer for the show during Season 4. The doctor sketch in the last episode with the bleeding man, as I understand it, was written by Adams.
I love this sketch! But it does give me an odd desire to pour porridge over things! Love the furniture cricket! And the best line! "Excuse me, a group of tourists has just arrived, I shall have to fall off the wall"
ok this story is actually real. a long time ago two girls were playing outside and one girl noticed a hole near where they were playing. the other girl came and "accidently" pushed the other girl in the hole and it was like really really deep. nobody bothered even going down there to help her so the girl stayed in the hole until her death. the girl found out nobody cared about her so she wanted reveng send this to 6 videoes or you will hear her scream and then shell kill yo
For some reason I just love that the village idiot is a different character than the Gumby character. It seems that a village idiot is different than a city idiot. You learn something every day watching these shows.
haha it doesn't matter if you know or not. If you get an opportunity, go to a cricket match. It's a brilliant day out if you like beer and sunshine (although the second part is a bit hit or miss in England!).
I hear idiots in america are earning millions!
