923.0. "Alexi Sayle" by PLAYER::GWYNNE () Fri Oct 25 1991 18:31

    I know, I know this is supposed to be about music but it is
    predominately English and that's whose opinions I'm looking for.
    What do ya' reckon about Alexi Sayle's new series? I reckon he's 
    right off form, he's run out of ideas. A lot of it looks Monty
    Pythonish and I'm sick of Monty Python. What d'ya reckon?

   UKCSSE::UK_TV is one place to ask such things...
   (But we forgive you, since Alexei has had a record or two in the charts)

    "Jean Paul Satre? Best centre foward West Ham ever had. Through 
    sheer mind power alone he could put the ball in the back of the net! 
    Talk about Dead Ball situation? He could prove that the ball never 
    existed."
    
    ...My fave moment from "CAK".
    
    
923.5The Young OnesFORTY2::CADWALLADERRifle butts to crush you down...Wed Oct 30 1991 19:1810
Do you remember the song from the Young Ones with the classics lines...

	"If the boss is mad with you, you've lost all his in-voices"
	"Don't drink a bottle of sulphuric acid, just make some funny noises"
	"EEEEK!!!OOOOK!!!AHHH!!BLURGHHH "... etc...

Also there was the single "Allo John, Gotta New Motor?", his Fish People Tapes
were rather funny too, but yes, his TV show is now very poor...

  I thought the Mickey Mouse Club take-off was the best....

  "Whose an ugly bastard and as fat as he can be?

    I dunno. I reckon his new series is patchy (as always). The titles
    for this series always crack me up, but like most 'Alternative'
    comedians (especially the ones the BBC seem to support) his timing can
    be hopeless and he can string a joke out for too long.

        the monologues are not as funny as the original series
        and the writers marshall/renwick come up with some
        decent ideas for sketches but which end up as parodies of
        monty python stuff, though i love the 'fake' starts and
        finishes to the program. or is the startling originality
        just washing over us now? i'll still watch it religiously
        every week though........as a penance
    
        giles
