[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 293275, member: 23"] The second half of Series Four is now behind me. Some classics along the way: [CENTER] [B][I]The Encyclopaedia Salesman[/I][/B] feels very much like a scene from a sitcom rather than a simple sketch. Everything feels very established and confident: [MEDIA=youtube]vIarMy-Q58o[/MEDIA] And then there's [B][I]The Party Where They Say The Same Things As Each Other. [/I][/B]The "Party" sketches feel very essential to this series. The very first sketch in Series One was one of these. Again, I think these little gems are very underrated. This one has some terrific comic timing and shows the great rapport between the two: [MEDIA=youtube]AUff02A6VNY[/MEDIA] [B][I]The Plumstead Ladies Male Voice Choir[/I] [/B]is terrific. So much of the funniest [I]Ronnies[/I] wordplay is in the dialogue of their musical numbers, and I love the cattiness of this one. Plus both Ronnies are just so good at drag: [MEDIA=youtube]fJ6ZeWYfLjA[/MEDIA] [/CENTER] Johnny Wade - best known to me as Roger the handyman from [I]You're Only Young Twice[/I] - appeared in a good number of the Series Five episodes. As did Jacki Piper who I know best from some early Seventies [I]Carry Ons[/I]. [/QUOTE]
