Talking of tough rooms, here’s Harry Hill.īBC Genome: BBC One – 17th February 2000 – 22:30 Vic Reeves and Charlie Higson puzzle over how Vic and Bob mystified the Canadian audience. Sadly, I also remember this one, where Smashie and Nicey die on their arses.

I remember this Harry Enfield routine the first time round.

Recording switches straight to another episode of Jack Dee’s Full Mountie, opening with a comedy bit featuring (I think) Malcolm Hardee.

Paulo’s sister, who is managing the restaurant while he’s away, comes into the bank, and of course Peter thinks it’s Paulo, returned from Brazil as a woman. Susan is really embracing this fast track thing He gets stroppy with a postman who has to deliver a message to Susan, and insists the message go through him, not realising it’s a strippergram from Paulo. Peter doesn’t like Susan being on the fast track course, and using his computer (the only one in the office that can connect to the internet – those were the days). Geoffrey takes the opportunity to humiliate him a bit. Peter thinks he’s talking about a sex change (because of Geoffrey’s story earlier) but he’s talking about another chef, so as he describes what will happen to the chicken on the table, Peter thinks it’s surgery he’s talking about. But Paulo has already bought a ticket to Rio. So Peter has to go to his restaurant to ask for the loan back. So David, to try to ‘win back’ Susan, suggests that he put her on the fast track management course. I’m really having a problem with this show’s attitude to women. Peter has been told to refer all loans to head office, but Paulo goads him into approving the loan by implying he takes orders from Susan, but that doesn’t stop him flirting outrageously with Susan, which puts David’s nose out of joint because he fancies Susan, despite being married. Meanwhile, Paulo (Ivan Kaye) is a Brazilian restauranteur who wants a loan. Geoffrey tells a story about a Brazilian transsexual called Lola from Camberwell, who he met, and was surprised by her undercarriage. The plot of this episode revolves around rather a lot of dodgy innuendo about transsexuals. He watches a news report on his branch which suggests that bank managers are going to become a thing of the past. It’s the bank-based sitcom starring Jim Broadbent as the ineffectual Peter. Comedy today, and first on this tape is The Peter Principle – Un Homme et Une Femme.
