Bruiser - West Country Scientists

David and Robert as the slightly zany scientists from the West Country in sketches from the short-lived, one-series-only sketch show 'Bruiser' (2000) starring Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, Matt Holness, Charlotte Hudson, David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

David looks so awkward trying to keep that gerbil [shoutout to Graid for that titbit!] in his hands. Bless him. ;)

*They sound West Country to me. If that's not the accent please let me know. :D

All clips are from episode 6

The pedant in me requires me to state that it is not a mouse or a rat in the first part of the sketch, it is a gerbil.

@Graid Will change the description to reflect this fact. Not much I can do for the sketch though. YOU FAIL ME, MITCHELL. I have lost all confidence in you. XDD

i love this show! all my favorite actors :D why have i just discovered this?

[Takaouto]

@MuSeMaN1000 Preaching to the choir, mate. I only discovered it last year. TEN YEARS OF MY LIFE WASTED. WASTED.

Just be glad you found it when you did. Now tell all your friends! More people need to know about the awesomness that was this little venture. Freeman/Holness/Mitchell/Webb? We're in heaven for sure.

@Takaouto To be fair, they never state that the first animal is either a mouse or a rat, only the second one which is a mouse.

I want to play ping-pong with a rat now!
