@KiruBanzai Was there any particular cause for the rift? Or was it just a clash of personalities? Thank you so so much for this upload btw, these comedy sketches mean the world to me, I grew up with them and along with Fry and Laurie were a big part of my formative years! :)

And to think, the full set of History Today sketches has never been released on DVD AFAIK.
That's tantaount to a war crime if u ask me. :(

@vapourmile Seriously, look up his latter stuff.
It's very political, but just as intelligent and whimsical as this stuff is.
"Oh dear"... genius.

@KiruBanzai I definitely liked Newman more than Baddiel and was surprised and disappointed when Newman seemed to disappear from the scene after this series whilst Baddiel did more TV. Sadly though I went to see Newman live on stage some years later and he'd kind of given up on his own brand of lovable silliness and seemed to be trying to become the new Ben Elton. I preferred him for things like his 'painting' sketch.

Shame that talents like these miss the fact that their best work was together and without each other the sum of the parts is less.

From the description: Not the one where they bust out laughing and can't stop.
Any idea where one could find that particular sketch? O_o

thats your bed time that is LMFAO
I don't think it's so much that they overlooked the fact that their comedy is stronger together as that they genuinely hated being around each other by the end. And, well, I think Newman has produced some quality work since then. IMO.
