Smith and Jones - The Last Head-to-Head
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2014
- In 2012, Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones reunited briefly to record this sketch in the style of their celebrated Head-to-Heads, probably the most iconic image from their series of the 1980s and 1990s. The reunion came about for the one-off show "The One Griff Rhys Jones", but sadly it would prove to be the duo's swansong before Mel's passing in 2013.

Amazing that despite the passing of so many years, they were able to slip into 'the old routine' with the same timing and genius of those great 80's sketches. Marvellous.
Sad to see Mel in poor health here, but at least we had this one final laugh with him and Griff before he passed. He will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Mel smith you were a legend at comedy and acting
I do miss you Mel. Thank you for your natural genius especially in the 80s when you got us out of the old comedy circuit. And changed things for the better for a new generation. Always watch the reruns .
What a great loss, such a laugh in the NTNON with Rowan ,Pamela and Griff. I really hope youngsters look at Mel Smiths material and take note what a talented comedian,actor and writer he has, one of the best. R.I.P Mel xx.
What a great gift they had.
It's rare for a classic to go out on a high, as usually these reunions are feeble and insipid. Here, though, they picked up right where they left off. A fitting tribute. "It's an excellent cheese"....
brilliant line and Mel barely managed to stop himself from laughing at that point
"He's paying." Brilliant. RIP Mel
Most under-rated comedians ever.
Loved the "camaraderie" gag, even Mel couldn't contain that one.
These two fitted together like whiskey and soda PERFECT a sad loss
they worked extremely well together - mel was special
RIP Mel Smith
For me, the wonderful head to head sketches were the standout part of Alas Smith and Jones
The head to heads were strong enough to carry a full half hour weekly show on their own.
"If its taught me anything, its the value of camaraderie"
"Its a lovely cheese"
XD
Brilliant! And Mel almost lost it too! 🤣
And that camaraderie really was the most excellent cheese
Great comedy duo enjoyed everything they did including Wilt.
Mel’s cameo in National Lampoons European Adventure. A must see !!
(His poor old Mum 😁)
The Brits know comedy. RIP Mel.
rip smith, should`ve been here atleast 20 years more :/
Great classic comedy that will last forever.😀
They never changed...
....alas....
Mel suffered in later years with Pharyngitis, which is inflammation of the back of the throat. One of its symptoms is a hoarse voice.
Oh man, that musta been terrible
@@jeffstone2136 It is, I think Red Rum suffered from it, he had a horse voice too.😋😉
This sounds like an exchange the talking heads would have had.
@@jcee6886 "It's a real nightmare."
He was addicted to painkillers. Sad.
awesome, Mel nearly lost it at 'its a lovely cheese'
I used to love those head to heads with Mel and Griff. Watching their last one was a mixture of laughing at the conversation, (My Chantelle is 30 now and a Grandma) made me chuckle, but it was tinged with sadness knowing Mel had died. Also, the humour today seems more aimed towards foul mouthed utterances and very questionable jokes. English comedy is so much different now and I'm sad to say, I don't find it funny. SAD.
You old bugga Jumbo ha ! What good times . If you haven't watched filthy rich & cat flap please do comedy brilliance with Mel Smith as Jumbo whiffy what a lovely funny guy r.i.p. 😆😆😆
Camaraderie. Mel almost breaks😂
"See you in 16 years then?" Kinda ominous when you think about it.
and a year later Mel was gone RIP
Sad t see Mel struggling here. Easy to see he is not well despite his brave effort.
Quite sad to see Mel like this! He will be missed.😢
Smith and Jones - The Last Head-to-Head 2144pm 19.9.22 very very very very very funny. i kid you not.
Two great comedy duo’s here. Mel looks so thin here, and it was a sad day when Mel was taken away far to early in his life.
Pity about the aspect ratio.
Poor Mel can’t breathe through his nose here.
It would be wonderful to share.
Don't post crap in the hope of third party glory.
4:30, can someone please take my missis's business card off that phonebox wall FFS?, we've been mofoing married for 3 years - Epithany only works Sunday nights, and only ever with her teeth OUT.
This is quite painful to watch tbh.
sometimes he sounds well and sometimes he doesn't but he really doesn't look good stall. horrible morbid I know but I really don't like seeing Mel like this
