Enchanted? I’d say manipulated. Emotional abuse is a crime that goes unpunished, and that’s what she did to Michael Hutchence, drive him to suicide using their daughter. Thankfully we know a lot more about narcissistic abuse and are more alert to the tactics used by people like Yates.
I never met them, but I worked in the studio where they did most of their recording. One of the engineers who had worked on some of their stuff, he told me that Bananarama were the only artists he'd ever worked with who had requested chairs when doing their vocals.
@@SuperMarioBrosIIIthey used the same equipment PWL used, Yamaha DX7, Roland D50, Linn Drum machine etc. I got a keyboard that does all the same sounds and immediately recognised them from loads of their songs 😂
I'm going to have to search for the song that was released by Bananarama and Lananeeneenoonoo now, Help, that video was mad 😂😂 This was lovely to see, the late great Paula Yates and seeing Dawn, Jennifer and Kathy all so incredibly young. They're about a decade older than me so I saw so much of them in my teens. Really loved their work and they were leading in their field, I'm going to have to watch some more of their stuff now too ❤
Having read actual Bananarama's book last year (brilliant BTW if you've not read it) this sketch is very much based in reality 😂 "Pete I'm a bit bottomy"
Jennifer used to hang out with the ladies of Bananarame, so of course she would know what they are like in reality. The bits where Eddie and Patsy would fall out of a car drunk in those Ab Fab episodes, are based on a time Jennifer saw one of the ladies from Bananarama fall out of a car butt first when they were drunk.
I am starting to sound like the older generation of when I was growing up in the 80’s, 90’s & 00’s but there really is nothing like the old days and great British Actors, Actors, Drama, Music and TV is dying out or has died. Sad and a shame.
So excellent this sketch!!! shame that they didn't do a little bit the song video "Venus" too ;-) it was more longer this sketch? it seems it is not finished at the end. I like how Paula Yates is dressed, good for 1988!
So lana Nino nunu so hilarious I can't stop laughing 😂 🤣🤣. This parody is so brilliant 👏🤣 before, breath before 🤣 even Lana Nino Nunu can't be serious on the sofa when they heard their name 😆
They met bananarama so this was affectionate they said the amount the could drink was BIBLICAL obv Siobhan Fahey went on to become a part of the duo Shakespeare's Sister
Apparently, the Bananarama girls were an inspiration for Edina and Patsy's boozing in AbFab. Particularly the scene when they emerge from a cab butt-first.
2:33s Those were the days of Stock, Aitken and Waterman where the same backing track seemed to regurgitated over and over again for it to be heard over and over again whilst being used by numerous mediocre performers. It was clever observation by French & Saunders/scriptwriters, because you could be absolutely crap with no musical writing ability or talent whatsoever, because Stock, Aitken and Waterman production would get you over the finish line for chart topping success no matter what!!!!
A complete piss take that is so near to the truth. Kim is obviously Jackie. The girls were so awkward and used the giggle at at everything. Brilliant Parody. French and Saunders at their best
@@tomspence8506I used to love her interviewing people on The Big Breakfast. That's where I only really know her from, don't get me wrong I know her tragic story and everything but I only knew her from TBB.
@@jonathanlandau-litewski7405 Before she tragically died, there was a newspaper 📰🗞️ story in which it was revealed that Jess Yates was not her biological father like she thought and that her real father was actually opportunity knocks presenter Hughie Green. This was around the time her then boyfriend INXS singer Michael Hutchence commited suicide. Many people thought that this may have contributed to her death. Michael also dated Kylie Minogue and Paula once interviewed Kylie on the big breakfast 🥞🍳🥓🥣.
Kathy just opens her mouth. Legend. Also love seeing Paula. Iconic. I’m glad I lived through this era ❤
3 of the best comediennes of all time! Kathy, Dawn and Jennifer!
Yeah, alright....
@@rnw2739 yep
@@biegebythesea6775 Then tou mnow nothing about comedy if you include Jennifer Sauders
@@rnw2739
Oh shut up
@@rnw2739Comedic actors then?
I just love the undertones of sarcasm in Paula Yates' opening piece to camera.
@0:21 😂🤣🤣😂🤣 nailed that toughned glare into the camera the blonde one would always do in most of their videos!! Jennifer Saunders Hillarious
I can’t believe there was never an album. The tracks sounded really good.
They should have done an album like Bad News did.
TRUE
I love that Kathy Burke is still with Dawn and Jennifer since all these years.
yeah!
Kathy Burke is a friggin legend.
french and saunders are so amazing
Paula looked luminous. I can see why she enchanted men.
I thought the same - stunningly beautiful and she had such style too. No one like her.

@@TomRipley7350 Utter bollocks.
Funnneee! I'd forgotten how sweet Paula Yates was. ❤
Brilliant! You just don't get comedy like this anymore
Aw, yeah, I was Lananeeneenoonoo's number one fan. Got the record, I do.
PRICELESS.
THE 3 OF THEM.
MISS PAULA...
I never met them, but I worked in the studio where they did most of their recording. One of the engineers who had worked on some of their stuff, he told me that Bananarama were the only artists he'd ever worked with who had requested chairs when doing their vocals.
Is that good or bad

This is a bitingly accurate portrayal of how Jacqui O'Sullivan was treated xD
"let's do it without her, she doesn't matter" 😭
Actually, given the fact that this was recorded in the year following Siobhan's departure, I think that she was the target of the joke.
@@Cicilo1983 But Kathy Burke is made up to look like Jacqui.
I prefer Siobhan over Jacqui
@@jakethesnake-eb9zt Hard to disagree with you on that one !
Jennifer and Dawn are freaking comedic geniuses!
And the amazing Kathy Burke!
Having read actual Bananarama's book last year (brilliant BTW if you've not read it) this sketch is very much based in reality 😂 "Pete I'm a bit bottomy"
Looking to get their book for my birthday in July

@@mebeme007 Lanananeeneenoonoo, not Bananarama🤭
@@mebeme007yeah I heard she’s friends with them and Geri Halliwell and Keith Lemons wife is best friends with Emma Bunton
If you watch a 1988 interview with Bananarama it is exactly how they were¡
Do you have the link?
0:16 This should of had a single! This was really good!
Pete Waterman said they’d sometimes turn up to the studio drunk, record for a few hours then they’d all go to the pub after 😂
Believable, According to their dance and face expression in "Venus" 😆
Jimmy Mack was brilliant, that should have been a genuine single.
Jimmy Mack should've been a B side for Help! "12 inch, so cool it is! 💪💪🎼😻👍
Paula Yates 😢, what a sad end for a very talented lady
Indeed!
Kathy Burke ,fabulous.
I miss Paula, such a professional. No one like her today ❤
Love Kathy Burke!

Nah there’s plenty of good stuff still today, we’re just unavoidably biased towards the stuff of our youth.
Oh Paula💖
Great to see Kathy
They have that 80’s look perfected. Lana Lenenoonoo 😂😂😂
They always pull it off
2:10 - "So, Lananeeneenoonoo..." (all three break character)
Simon Brint was a musical genius.
Little known fact, Pete there went on to form the infamous pop duo Raw Sex!
Raw sex was already a thing because this was after Siobhan had left which was 1988. Raw sex was on the go well before then.
They're great they're funny too I like the 0:16 song even though it's short it's great vocals
Legends.
Rip Paula 🙏
lol I also liked their spoofs of Bros and Sonya
Pete, I'm a bit bottomy
🤣
Kim we've already done it.
Lol that Jimmy Mack
Paula was gorgeous ❤

This was the 80s
88 style the same as early 90s style - 88 is practically the 90s @@ed5540
Kathy Burke can’t keep her laugh in , she’s a brilliant actress
Love them
i love that espresso machines are made out of wood

It looks as if Jennifer & Paula had the same hairdresser.
Forever amazing haha
J'adore ❤
Miss French n Saunders 😂❤

HILARIOUS!!!
A complete piss take that is so near to the truth. Kim is obviously Jackie. The girls were so awkward and used the giggle at at everything. Brilliant Parody. French and Saunders at their best
Oh Paula 😔

Really miss these takedowns!
Looooove this video!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
wasn ´t Paula just so attractive and lovely. Sad life later.
vaguely remember this. i was 7. had no recollection of kathy burke being part of this.
Jennifer has said that Bananarama were the hardest drinking band in show biz.
Lol!!! These songs really could have been on their PWL releases !
2:11 dead ahahah
About lananeeneenoonoo the duo reunited with Bananarama the duo for a jimmy mack cover .😂
Paula is dying to laugh
Allison Tyler-Howells so was I at the part where Kathy tells Paula "oh I like hotels". It's hard to believe Paula has been dead for 21 years now.
😂😅

this is when the BBC knew how to do comedy, before woke got in the way 😡. So sad to see Paula, she was great, bless her 🥺
What's anti-woke about this sketch? The fact that u enjoy it?
Paula💔
Oh god 🤣🤣🤣
Are they meant to be bananarama???
Yes, a parody of them.
When did bananarama do this song
Hahaha
the problem being if you also love martha & the vandellas, you'd forever wrong-breath a singalong.
The producer, he looks familiar….🤨
That track just screamed Top of the Pops. Can't believe the Noo's didn't make it. Travesty, really.
Paula Yates....the only one holding her shit together!
Lananeeneenoonoo
I'm american, so the humor escapes me. Unless they're bananarama. They remind me of them.
That’s the point 😂. Jennifer Saunders spent a lot of time with Bananarama.
Yes Bananarama
@@nickpalmer3076 Ooooooh That's hilarious now! Wonder if they got pissed off.
They missed out ‘Jojoba, it’s a sorta nut’.
Kim's gonna be sick again...😅😅😅
😂😅
…all other comedians stand aside
Where's the rest of the sketch? Scandal!
I presume they’ve cut out the actual video at the end cos they dress in Chinese style looks which nowadays can’t be done it seems
Kathy's doing Kevin.
That's how American's sing lol. Too much.
