Hilarious! Still laughing....just like wenglishal stated, I was using headphones and family wondered why I was practically falling out of the chair.....
Jane Horrocks and Martin Clunes look sooooo young! Definitely one of Clunes' best bits of all time...made my day, so thanks very much. BTW, this was released (on Ch. 4) in September of 1996 by the same production company that does HIGNFY. It was also the year before Clunes married his wife Phillipa Braithwaite. Wonder if that's where the name came from :-0 ??
What a great vid to start a day! That was so very funny, Martin Clunes is brilliant in this, his facial expressions are too good. Had to laugh so much, still chuckling. Who is Phillipa? Cannot place her.
LOL! So funny! I def. could figure out what they were making fun of, especially after having read and watched tons of period dramas. This was great. Thanks for sharing.
It was a one off comedy sketch from a show called "Never Mind the Horrocks" These three scenes are the entire thing, it gave me such a laugh at the time and took years till I found it again.
This never fails to bring out a laugh....too good and too bad there is not more of this!

Funny! I didn't know about this show.
It reminds me of a book in which you could find the supposedly deleted naughty scenes from Jane Austen's novels!
Thanks for posting!
