Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of that. Checking the first clip now.

Get the entirety of Spaced also (you could just buy the collector's edition boxset for 14 pounds off Amazon), it's brilliant.

Well, thanks. Now I've wasted my entire evening watching some deranged pop-pop-quiz show with has-beens and nonames. I hope you're happy.
I certainly am. I haven't laughed this much in weeks. Huge massive thanks! I've done nothing useful for several hours straight, but watch this show. Now I know people-I'd-never-previously-heard-of are gay, dead, alive, on drugs, in jail, or just out. I've watched old-has-beens-previously-believed-dead dance badly, and people I really wish were dead almost turn out funny. There's just something about sarcastic Britons that I really, really like. This show, I like.
Jeremy Clarkson: does he know music? No.

I didn't see Shaun of the Dead until pretty recently. It was fairly good, sort of thing I'd watch with friends on DVD (as I indeed did).
Bill Bailey is pretty legendary around these parts... the last new-year's party I went to (13 months ago o.O) we had the BBC News Rave playing endlessly (available at your local communist visual media site by searching "Bill Bailey BBC").
Good times. Probably my second favourite comedian after Mitch Hedburg.
((edit: why must I always forget the existence of wikiquote.org? It's so low-profile and ungoogled.))

Well, if you liked the BBC rave, then you can find it <A HREF="http://www.ludd.ltu.se/users/h-son/data/bailey.rar">here</A> (10MB RAR), along with a few other bits, such as 'Love Song', 'Drum'n'Bush' and 'U2'. Just short bits of the show, but due to possible copyright infringements I won't leave the file there for very long. Get it now and buy it later.

Just so you know, Part Troll was split in 10 parts and put on said video-site-bought-by-a-search-engine as well. Part 10 has the Kraftwerk tribute, and Drum N' Bush and the BBC rave is in part 9.

Glad to be of 'help', Gray.

Yeah, I noticed that a few hours after I uploaded the MP3:s. It's funnier with the visuals.

He's exceptionally self-deprecating too:
"Yes, Meatloaf Stars In Their Eyes Winner..."You fool, it's Michael Bolton!
Haha, watching this again while at work...
excellent.I'm practically in tears here. I love it when, just after he gets the "giant snapping a twig" sketch to work, he clutches his face and moans: "my mind is unravelling so soon, like a tapestry and some angry kittens".
Actually, he does say Meatloaf - that's in Bewilderness. Those are available somewhere too!

One thing I really don't understand is one of the subliminal messages in the lounge pianist segment in the beginning:
"Three claws on his knee, he's not human!"
I assume it's some obscure Dr. Who reference or something, but I don't really get it. I laugh, because it sounds funny, but could someone please tell me what it's a reference to, if anything?
