I hate
to be all, “Ding-dong, the sketch comedy show is dead,” but… let’s just say I’ll
be glad to move on to a new project. While
not as unenjoyable to me as Rab C.
Nesbitt or Unhitched, the best
word I have for The All New Alexei Sayle
Show is “unimpressive.”
Anyway,
we’ve got one last “Drunk in Time” sketch.
For their final adventure, the under-the-table duo are sent back to
biblical times. Jim Carter plays Herod,
and Salome is dancing for the head of John the Baptist. If you’d like, you can watch it here.
Final
tally for “drunk” synonyms:
- Sloshed
- Inebriated
- Alcohol-soaked
- Intoxicated
- In the bag
- Wasted
- Smashed
- Potted
- Under the table
For a
total of nine! (I make my own fun.)
And
with that, let’s unceremoniously bring The
All New Alexei Sayle Show to an end.
Accent Watch
RP for
the Sherlock Holmes sketch in series 1, Scouse for Doug in series 2’s “Drunk in
Time” sketches.
Recommend?
In
General
– Naw. Too meh.
PC-wise – I’d recommend the
Sherlock Holmes sketch. “Drunk in Time”
just isn’t terribly funny and doesn’t give PC much to do, so you can easily give
those sketches a pass.
Warnings
