F&L were unlike their contemporaries though. For a start, they weren't mockneys (which almost everyone else ever called "alternative comedy" c. 1982-87 was). They were really Michael Powell reincarnated: half nostalgic quasi-Tories, half fervent radicals. The fascination came from their working it out.
For what people who never really watched ABOF&L wrongly thought they were, see Kit and the Widow. Now they *were* shite.

Stephen Fry voicing for Walkers Crisps I think (although I thought Hugh Laurie at first - this was when their last series together was going out).

I only now realise how quickly and wholeheartedly the alternative comedy crew took the advertiser's shilling and how canny advertisers were in enlisting these bright young things to sell everything from Mortgages to Chocolate Oranges. I know this clip is a later example but looking back through my uploaded adverts it really is a noteworthy trend.
