Somone on another forum is trying to find the name of a sketch show, which has got me genuinely interested in it. Anybody have any idea what this might be:


"I saw this show a couple of months ago, I can only recall two bits from it. I tried to google it but failed horribly. It kind of reminded me of the League of Gentlemen, except two men did all the skits.

One skit involved a man going into a jewelry shop, except all the jewels are actually potatoes. The shop keeper (one of the guys in drag) and the man speak in fluent French and the men eventually settles on a shiny new potato.

The second one I remember was the two men playing flamboyantly gay paranormal investigators. They were investigating an old mental hospital or something and seem oblivious to the bleeding walls and creepy noises. They eventually get killed by a mutated monster/ghost that jumps onto their backs.

It looked like a fairly recent show. "
 
Cardinal Burns was great. I only caught it after seeing a clip on Something For The Weekend once.
I think it is probably a bit marmite and not all of the sketches work but the intro scenes were all good as was the office flirt.
Hope they make a second series but judging by the lack of chatter doubt there will. :(

All on 40D btw.
