If you're wondering if shops like this still exist, take a wander along Regent Road in Great Yarmouth during the summer... you might even be able to get yourself a lovely rampant mackerel ashtray! Oh, and GRIFF'S FUCKING FACE at 1:10 is priceless!
Just think those 2 greats went on to do the brilliant Smith and Jones at the table sketches, and i loved watching when my kids were young Mel doing the voice over for the animation of Father Christmas, comedy great.
love this, it brings back my childhood memories, I always remember the F*** I forget the baby sketch.... half of those ornaments were in most households in the seventies and early eighties.... looks like half of my mums old front room in there....
Brilliant. Everyone had those fucking shire horses in the 70's, they were utter crap. Wherever you went on holiday in Britain they'd be in all the gift shops, along with whimsies, and those tacky bits of rock with a plastic seagull on the top and the name of the place crudely written on the front
utter brilliance

£19.95 in 1980 is the same as £120.24 in 2023
Perfection. Not The Nine O'clock News was brilliant.
rrrrock pool
He reminds us of no one, other than Jeremy Clarkson
The rampant mackerel ashtray. I think my Nan had one....
There's a kind of 'event horizon' with comedy. Once you pass beyond or over it...things which once seemed funny...just don't.
Why do they remind me of James May and Richard Hammond?
Playback at 1/2 speed, Mel does a great impression of Alf Hitchcock
Greatness. LoL
He didn't even wait to get back home 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 absoloute class
Wot, no flying ducks, shame, low class shop.
Shame the punchline is so crap 😕

Getting his own back over the Gramophone shop…

Mel Smith was an amazing actor.
I'm afraid I find this rather second-rate.
Stolen from Terry Pratchett.

His delivery of " The legend FRAE Bonny Scotland " cracked me up LOL .
Hmmmm funny (!)

Jones looks a bit like Sebastian Vettel :D
I felt a bit sorry for the shopkeeper. He looked so chuffed to have such an enthusiastic customer....
That cracked me up. I thought he was going to say Griff
Twenty quid in 1982? A bloody fortune!
Why did he broke that?????
Did we laugh at that shit back then?
Brilliant! Not sure why people keep comparing it to Monty Python except that it's two men in a shop doing a sketch. I doubt that originated with MP.
All through this I was wondering how it would end. The actual ending took me by surprise.
I love them so much!!!
Mel Smith was so incredible.
I'm looking for a present for my aunt
This sketch is far too white & uses far too much of the English vocabulary 👀👀👀👀
The "Mona Lisa" in the small oval frame.
Griff reminded me of Lloyd or mr. Grady in the Shining..

The versatility of Mel Smith was overwhelming.
Mel Smith & Gryff Rhys Jones are there alongside Laurel & Hardy.
The Mona Lisa in the small frame.
Totally brilliant show. I have the dvd
Aww, not fair, I like onyx! But then again, I like this sketch just a little bit more!
very funny..
