Not even bad in a good way

... View MoreTwo years after 'Harry Enfield's Television Programme' ended, Harry returned in triumph to the BBC with 'Harry Enfield & Chums'. It trod more or less the same line as the earlier show, featuring the same mix of characters from before such as gormless Tim Nice But Dim, the repugnant Wayne & Waynetta Slob, the evil Old Gits and obnoxious Mr. Don't Wanna Do It Like That. The same script writers, such as Nick Newman and Ian Hislop were brought back to provide the scripts, Kate. St John provided a new catchy theme tune. Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke returned to the supporting cast, though Charlie Higson dropped out to appear in 'The Fast Show'.Some characters from before were given the chop such as DJs Smashie & Nicey ( who by this point had gained their own one-off show - 'Smashie & Nicey: The End Of An Era' ), the annoying Double Take Brothers and Les The Forgetful Barman, though some new characters were created such as the lecherous Lovely Wobbly Randy Old Ladies, the acne-ridden Kevin The Teenager ( who appeared in the earlier show as Little Brother Kevin ), the permanently angry Self Righteous Brothers, the dope smoking Dutch Coppers and the Michael Caine inspired Michael Paine, the nosey neighbour. These new creations benefited the show enormously.Some of the humour could be unnecessarily cruel and unfunny, such as Alf Git cutting a puppy in half with a meat cleaver, but overall the show was more solid than sloppy. It ended on a high in 1998 with a hilarious Christmas special featuring a memorable spoof of 'Titanic'.Sadly. this was the last decent thing Enfield did. In 2000, he fronted 'Brand Spanking New Show' for Sky One which was so bad even Enfield himself never bothered to watch it. In 2001, he gave us the equally bad 'Harry Enfield Presents' as well as the dire feature film 'Kevin & Perry Go Large'. In 2002, he tried his hand at sitcom again ( his first being 'Men Behaving Badly' in 1992 ) with 'Celeb' but it was a critical disaster. Perhaps the worst thing he has done to date is 'Ruddy Hell! It's Harry & Paul'. Fortunately, 'Chums' is still repeated on UK Gold so one can remind themselves how great a comic Harry once was.
... View MoreI can't really remember seeing the normal show, but I saw the Yule Log Christmas Special which was brilliant. BAFTA nominated Harry Enfield is one of the greatest sketch show people I know, and along with Paul Whitehouse (The Fast Show) and BAFTA nominated Kathy Burke it is a really good show. I can't really say much about the show, so I'll say about the Christmas one. The characters that really stuck out for me were: Kevin and Perry the Teenagers (I've seen them on special video, Kevin's Guide to Being a Teenager); Frank and George (who used to be in the Hula Hoops adverts); The Rich Guy ("I am considerably richer than you!"); Honest John; Michael Paine and many other weird and wonderful people. One of the funniest sketches of the Christmas Special for me was the Telecocknies (a spoof of Teletubbies). It was nominated the BAFTA for Best Light Entertainment (Programme or Series). Kevin the Teenager was number 15 on The 100 Greatest TV Characters, Waynetta Slob was number 37 on The World's Greatest Comedy Characters, The Christmas Special was number 34 on The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments, and The Slobs - Brown Baby was number 11 on The 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches. Very good!
... View MoreHarry Enfield and chums was made in 1994, i liked this one totally better than harry Enfield's tv programme that was made in 1990. This one i think was better because it had allsorts of characters such as Harry and Lulu. i give this one 10 out of 10.
