The Fast Show is one of the newer classic British comedy shows. The principal people behind the show is Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson, both began with Harry Enfield before moving on to do their own thing. The result of this is the excellent fast show a programme consisting of small sketches, with lots of differant characters mostly drawn from real life people, you see most of them walking around or know of them.

The skeches had paul whitehouse, charlie higson, simon day mark williams john thomson arabella weir and caroline aherne as the actors playing the central characters. These skeches range in style and complexity also some are only a few seconds long and others last for a while.

I will try and describe a selection of the characters you will meet when watching the fast show.

The 13th DUKE of Wybourne a bit of the ladies man who always finds himself in unsuitable locations with lots of ladies. Catch phase " with my reputation, has nobody thought of the consequences"

Roly Berkin a sozzeled old barrister recounting memories through a drunken haze, you can just make out the odd sentance from his recounting such as"ah Tigar".

The Offroaders simon and lindsey who try all manner of dare devil things or just back out of them their famous catch phase is "ITS GRIPPED, ITS SORTED, LETS OFF ROAD"

The Suits You Tailors Ken and Kenneth who started a generation of "oh suits you, sir". The sex obbsessed pair attack customers with their inappropiate surgestions and actions.

Competative Dad We have all seen this person in the park with his kids not allowing them to win and gloating at beating the kids at any game he can.
