Once of the funniest UK comedies to date It's bizarre and off the wall, but classic, and features some of the funniest sketches and characters of all time. www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/fastshow/If you're a fan of the Harry Potter movies, you may be interested to know that Mark Williams (who plays Arthur Weasley) is one of the main "stars" of The Fast Show, featuring in some of the best sketches such as the "Suit You Sir!" guys, and "Jesse's Fashion Tips", etc...

That was classic "Look... just make me a f**king suit!" But he likes going "Ooh!" with the others That really needs to come out on DVD, darn it... my b/f has series' 1, 2 and 3, but we need the next one... we had to get 2 and 3 from the UK though, because only 1 has been released here, unfortunately...

I love the Fast Show,but it since I've starting obsessing over LoG, I haven't paid it much attention. I have got the new Fast Show Live DVD, so I'll come back and have a rave once I watch it.
Ted and Ralph were my absolute faves, and will always have a special spot in my heart. Did anyone see their movie length special? It's so sweet, and also great to see Kathy Burke as Mrs Ted!

I'm a bit sad that they continue to plunder the Fast Show for adverts. There's a new one for Burger King or something featuring the two tailors. Why can't they just leave it alone?

The two tailors as in Paul Whitehouse and Mark Williams, or two actors playing the tailors? My heart is sinking either way... Ooh I might get a chance to see it then, hehe!Only four months to go if they do show it, Sailor! I'll try and remember to check my TV guides!

Heh, I just watched the Fast Show Farewell Tour, and there was a fan dressed up as Swiss Toni in the front row. (And two girls dressed as the tailors, on bloke as Rowly Birkin, and a guy dressed as Ted.) John Thompson was absent, but Rhys Thomas had bigger roles than in the show. He played Competitive Dad's grown up son As much as I love the Fast Show, I think I'm glad they laid it to rest, I don't think they had anything new to say - though if I had a chance to see them doing it live, I'd jump at it! ;D

Ooh a live show would be cool to see More Rhys Thomas you say...? I like the thought of that! ;D But when are they going to release all of the "last Fast Show" on DVD? They have 'part 1' or something stupid... Hmmm!

I think the DVD of the last Fast Show is pretty much it. It's been shown on UKTV and on SBS, and all they showed (to my knowledge) was the same sketches as on the DVD. The DVD had a bit more, actually - cos I don't think the TV eps had the big farewell from all the characters. There's a fun behind the scenes doco on the Farewell Tour DVD ;D Filmed in Blackpool!
