David Mitchell and Webb should get the rights of this, they pretty much do the same brand of comedy

@cofpaddy

What a stupid comment. Considering Mitchell and Webb were probably both still in University while this was being aired, a good 10 years before they did anything. Peep Show is awesome, but this was done moons before and possibly influenced Mitchell and Webb, even.

@StadiumHot You say it's stupid but I don't know how to rely on you're expert knowledge. They often [Mitchell and Webb] wrote for Armstrong and Miller and feature in the RAF sketch where they use language like "that's you that is" "what's the beef blood?", while in RAF uniform smoking pipes. Sorry if I made a connection which you fail to see. Of course they were still in Uni is that a crime? Comedy connections from the past are often made in modern comedy, especially in Mitchell and Webb's work.

@cofpaddy

But how are they entitled to the rights, when Newman and Badiel did this so long ago. This is totally original work. If anything, Mitchell and Webb stole from this.

You see a pair of pants with some cack in? Thats you that is.

Why is comedy not as funny as this any more?

What a knob

[massmurder7]

you see this comment thats mine that is

[Geoffthebull]

They have a very strange view of when rationing happened. Labour destroyed any "victory" we may have had following WW2.

Every time they have held Office...the country has failed.

Fascists all. Control without any notion of competence........

@cofpaddy you're an idiot

[LouBLouish]

@balloubear92 ha i found this show by pink Floyd

[brainraker123]

@cofpaddy how could u say they copped peep show it wasnt made yet its the other way around

[Lodestar1977]

@cofpaddy Umm... considering this was done many years before they even hit the comedy circuit. How can you even say they deserve raolyty. Whats next, Oasis suing The Beatles for copying their work?

at any rate, even of Mitchell and Webb, who aired long more than 10 years later may or may not have been influenced by this (not other way round as that is impossible without time travel), but Mitchell and Webb are actually more making fun of current speech pattrns. This was simply childish behaviour
