It was only screned a few times but I remember reading about another skit when he was spoofing on the King's Road drug dealers ("Have you got any Yellowben Teenes? What about a Clarcky Cat?"), they actually filmed at least one other when he was dressed as a foppish 19th-century "gentleman about town" in a fucking horse drawn carriage, apparently he pulls up and asks them if they have "any tincture of laudanum, my good fellows?"?

      @@kevinhansen9258 The BBC pushes a lot of agendas, and strangely, not all of them are in line with one another. BBC news is the most obviously biased part of the corporation, but it is elsewhere.
      1) Royal Family - since the BBC is established by royal commission, its news coverage of the royal family is nearly entirely favourable even with the recent example of Prince Andrew. You will see occasional swipes at them on comedy shows, but the news coverage is one sided.
      2) BBC news is a good barometer of British foreign policy, especially when it comes to military activity. I am almost certain the MOD has direct influence on an unofficial level. I remember trying to watch coverage of the Christchurch Earthquake some years ago, and there were seven minutes devoted to it, as opposed to twenty minutes going on about Libya. A couple of weeks later, and the RAF etc were out bombing Libya.
      3) The BBC is institutionally biased against Scottish independence. The BBC has traditionally provided a poor service to Scotland, in areas such as sport, culture, politics, history and so on. But since Scotland has 10% of the UK population, and it is funded by a TV licence, the BBC stands to lose millions if Scotland becomes independent. That's before we get into the personal biases of its staff.
      4) The BBC also fails to represent Wales and Northern Ireland properly and has been biased in its portrayal of their culture, politics, sport etc, especially the Troubles. It does not represent Northern England well, except in comedies.
      5) Wokeness - this has definitely been a controversial issue of late. This is a battle between those who see it as social engineering vs those who see it as fairness and equality. It is often not the latter and can be very anti-working class.
      6) In the past, the BBC has pushed various government agendas including the contradictory notions of privatisation and nationalisation at different points. It also faked footage during the Miners' Strike (1983) by reversing it - i.e. during a police charge, they made it look as if the miners were charging the police instead of vice versa. Right now, the BBC is pushing the government's Covid agenda/handling pretty uncritically - and this was confirmed by a leaked internal memo.

      @@thursoberwick1948 excellent summary of the BBC.
      It's senior staff are very close to the conservative political party. Often the leader of the BBC is directly from the conservative party, such as an ex senior minister. Current prime minister Richie Sunak has his old boss from his banking days as the current leader of the BBC.
      The BBC needs to become politically independent in order to represent Britain fairly and accurately. At the moment it's severely controlled by the conservative party and this is damaging for democracy in Britain.
