Advantages: Funniest thing on TV., Ever

Disadvantages: It's over

Sadly it is no more. But it probably was time to call it a day, the final episides didn't quite have the same spark that has managed to tickle my funny bone for the last few years.

It stars Paul Whitehouse, Chris Day, Charlie Higson and, up untill the last series or two, Caroline Ahern. Each of them have their own memorable characters, with their own memorable catch phrases and eccentricities. From the Suits You guys to Ted and Ralph, they've produced amazing characters, all endearing and special in their own way. Knowing what's going to happen only makes it funnier.

Paul was originally a writer and performer with Harry Enfield. The Fast Show is basically a home for the scripts that were rejected by Harry, which is funny seeing as it's much better than the comparitively dull Harry Enfield's Television Programme. It gained a large following a few years back, but this didn't last long as the quirkiness and repeated jokes were'nt exactly made for the masses. It has managed to keep a loyal following through the years, which, in my experience, is made up of funny and witty people.

Here's a few quotes you may enjoy:

' You know, putting up a tent is like making love to a beautiful woman. You undo the zip, pop in your pole and slip into the old bag.'

' Aren't horses brilliant? They're just like old-fashioned cars... but without windscreens.'

' Aren't horses brilliant? They're just like old-fashioned cars... but without windscreens.'

' Aren't horses brilliant? They're just like old-fashioned cars... but without windscreens.'

'In a hole! In the dark! With an owl! In the fog...'

How can you not like that? If you missed the show when it was on BBC 2, it'll proabably be replayed on UK Gold.Don't bloody miss that time aswell,.....made entirely out of rubber!
