Did you see?

Did any of you watch The Peter Serafinowicz Show (BBC2, 01.11.07.). He did a Laurel and Hardy parody in which he played Stan, using the original title screen and incidental music, and grainy black and white film. It was a really good one. But I am sure it will go down badly with many Sons. Why? After "Ollie" hit "Stan" with a spanner, every sentence of Stan's included a variation on the "f" word. I personally saw that it was a loving parody - not like Harry Enfield's.

I know that some people will be offended by the sketch, but I thought it was hilarious. Cindy, my wife, thought it was hilarious, and I'm pretty xxxxxxx sure that Stan and Ollie would have found it funny too.

I have been watching Blazing Saddles on ITV 4. In one scene the mayor is  making a presentation of  a laurel to someone and  says, "Welcome, and  please accept a Laurel (pause) and Hardy handshake. In another scene, a character says, "He's overstepping his bounds." So, obviously, Mel Brooks or someone was a fan of the Boys.
