I laugh just thinking of Matt Lucas in that 70s looking tracksuit like some dreadful games teacher, with long, thin hair, singing a song the lyrics of which consisted solely of the words "Peanuts".

..and introducing Team B, please welcome Richard E. Grant!
Poppy-out-eyed thespian Richard prances around his village green in an Elizabethan ruff and beige pantaloons, reciting Shakespearian dribble to frightened children in his booming RADA-style sweary voice.. then he rushes back to the reptile house at London Zoo for his five o' clock feed..

Bloody hell! It was in '98.
Notes. The cast of The Fast Show combined with the leading players in Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's anarchic game-show Shooting Stars for a long season of live performances in London at the beginning of 1998, video and audio recordings of which were subsequently issued. The Fast Show team also toured Britain in 2002.
The fast show live was brilliant how they did it, tonnes of costume changes and they used the whole theatre as a sleight of hand style trick so you'ld only focus on what they wanted you to see. There's a DVD of it I think.

ooh that sounds good. I've recently been feeling like seeing The Fast Show again - I used to love it, then got really tired of it, but looks like it's back.. I'd like to see the Ted & Ralph semi-film they did again.
I've never seen the Swiss Tony series - was that any good?

The Swiss Tony series was a bit poor really, you might have one chuckle per episode but they tried about 50 lines on you. Ted and Ralph did a big show stopping song at the end of the live show. It was moving!

i went to see the shooting stars / fast show at the london apollo theatre too. it was amazing to watch. particulary good was the gag with hunter from gladiators being hoisted across the stage from what my memory can recall. everything was going grand until my mates mobile went off during the fast show performance. he didnt know how to answer calls because he only borrowed it from his dad for the journey to london. it rang and rang before he could stand up and rush out -pretty much interupting the show. paul whitehouse later was interviewed about the tour and mentioned only one bad moment being "someones bloody mobile going off for ever......."

It went downhill after Will Self took over from Mark Lamarr.
I don't understand why he felt the need to go on TV, after being such a respected author. £?
