Comedy Sketchbook

What better way to exorcise the horrors of BBC Three comedy drama and Keith FUCKING Lemon than some quality BBC comedy courtesy of Comedy Sketchbook, hosted by smug meister Angus Deayton?

Top hits last night included Smith & Jones, Tommy Cooper, Mitchell & Webb and Naked Video.

Somehow Little & Large got in their too, but you can’t have everything…
