Six Pairs of Pants was a low budget sketch show that ran for just one series but which marked the first time Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes nee Stevenson were to work together. Three years later they would co-write and co-star in their sublime comedy, Spaced. Additionally, Sally Phillips, later of Smack The Pony/Im Alan Partridge/ Bridget Jones was a cast member alongside Katy Carmichael, Neil Mullarkey and Simon Schatzberger.
I have three episodes of this program which will appear on YouTube in due time. To my knowledge, this has never been released on DVD or VHS apart from a tantalizing glimpse of a skit or two on the Spaced documentary, Skip To The End from the box set.
The merchant ivory sketch is brilliant. I'm enjoying my spending a dull Sunday evening whiling away time watching these guys.
