Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke made that series funny. National treasures, in my opinion. I think Harry Enfield is a really good writer, but his delivery leaves a lot to be desired.

I think you will find that most of the character creation and writing was by Whitehouse from the very beginning

I'll bow to your knowledge on that, Lion. But do you agree re: Whitehouse & Burke?

Absolute stars

I haven't seen any of the recent stuff - but it must be difficult to maintain the same standard for 25 years

Paul Whitehouse is a genius -I remember seeing him live near the Angel Islington late 80's - most of the characters were based on people who he knew in Hackney

He did a good little series a few years ago. I think he played a psychiatrist's patients - the psychiatrist was played by that Chris wossisname who got banged up for child porn.

And the ads he's doing for Norwich Union at the moment are very good.

Could do that with the cast of inbetweeners, great programme. Loved the lads chat up line to his bird last night "Im going to f**k your f**king fanny off you twat".

Has to be one of the classiest chat up lines ever!!! i mean what woman could resist
