Smith And Jones

After Not The Nine O'Clock News, two of the cast members, Mel Smith and Griffith Rhys Jones made their own sketch show, "Smith and Jones", closely following and extending the style of the successful predecessor. The show run in ten series between 1982 and 1998, and therefore it is extremely difficult to select. I have finally decided to include four of their many sketches. The Predictable Lighthouse Keepers is the first one, and I think no better summary than the title is possible for this one. Somehow this sketch reminds me of Ibsen, I am not sure why, but that was the first name that came to my mind when seeing it... Then a nice little sketch, Survival, about the circumstances of an aircraft accident. The next one shows you how far we can go to avenge ourselves over some "small" offence. And finally, you may participate in a frantic ceremony of a family dinner in Holy Satan... There are much more that I like and would like to include, but... let that be enough...
