On the tv programme Bremner, Bird and Fortune, there is often a sketch based on

It is one of my favourite sketches and the hallowe'en episode was especially
funny to me.


Your post prompted me to tune into BB&F for the first time in quite a
while but it's not changed my opinion that they're at their funniest
when Bremner is NOT doing politicians.

I recall a sketch several years ago when Bird & Fortune were doing
spoof interview with the Chairman of the Channel Tunnel:

"You're losing a huge amount of money" says the Interviewer.

Chairman: "Yes, but it's alright, we're a Public Service".

Interviewer: "But how can the Banks keep backing you? Do you know how
much you currently owe?"

Chairman: "Not really, but I'm sure it's all perfectly
manageable".

Interviewer: "Have the Banks not written to you about it?"

Chairman: "Well, yes, they've sent several letters over the past few
months".

Interviewer: "What do they say?"

Chairman: "I don't know. They're all still behind the clock on the
mantlepiece"


I sometimes feel like that with the Inland Revenue's tax demands -
they might have been delivered through my door, but they're not bad
news unless I open them.
