It went back into orbit after it was shared by the good people of @TheLadBible and here is just a little bit of the love people had for it.
I put it to you that in the pantheon of heat comedy sketches, this is “up there”. https://t.co/Yc8z3q1KYQ

I remember watching this episode the evening it aired when I was at Uni, 15 or so years ago!
Signposted from a mile off and a lot of the studio audience laughing as soon as Space Centre was mentioned and yet it still relies on the delivery. And David Mitchell played it superbly.

Saw this years ago before starting surgical training, but….
Turned out the neurosurgeons are way, way worse than this

To conclude …
There is a unique pleasure to a joke that you can see coming as clear as day but is still delivered so absolutely perfectly. https://t.co/GyGlFkDZH7

You can find a few more clips but alas no episodes at the iPlayer over here (although you’ll find a lot more on YouTube).
