As Frutos has already posted the hilarious 'That is Torquay, madam' sketch from Fawlty Towers, I'll contribute this compilation from Angus Deayton's final appearance as presenter of Have I Got News For You. Having just been exposed in the tabloids for sex-and-drugs-with-a-prostitute, Deayton endured non-stop p***-taking from Ian Hislop and Paul Merton.
Ian Hislop (reading extracts from the News of the World): '"He made me groan all night". What did you do, read her the autocue?'
My personal remedy for escaping all the doom and gloom is to switch off all the news programmes after 6pm, lie in the bath, open YouTube and find an episode of ISIHAC from the near past (preferably with Humph in the chair, but Jack Dee is almost as good) Nearly all episodes are on there - even back to the time of Willie Rushton.
Even though I know word for word what's coming, this cracks me up every single time. Whenever this episode is on I usually end up rewinding this gag 4 or 5 times.
