"Harry Enfield's Television Programme" Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 17 January 2017 6:03 AM, PST NEWS trailers and videos full cast and crew trivia official sites memorable quotes Overview 5 out of 5 people found the following review useful: "Now I Don't Believe You Wanted To Do That!" 20 February 2007 *** This review may contain spoilers *** It seems like only yesterday that Harry Enfield was the brightest comedy star on British television. His appearances on 'Saturday Live' ( as 'Stavros' and 'Loadsamoney' ) and 'Filthy, Rich & Catflap', as well as the brilliant 'Norbert Smith - A Life?' seemed to confirm him as the natural successor to the great Peter Sellers. In 1990, he departed Channel 4 for the B.B.C.

'Programme' was a traditional sketch show in which he played characters as diverse as the revolting 'Wayne Slob', the toothy 'Tim Nice-But-Dim', the irritating pensioner 'Mr.Don't Want To Do It Like That', the '40's public information film presenter Mr.Grayson, the over-excited 'Little Brother', the Alan Freeman-inspired D.J. 'Dave Nice' ( Freeman could not have been offended. He later guested on the show ) and of course, one half of the decrepit and senile Old Gits. Within weeks of its debut, the show's catchphrases were being repeated in schools and workplaces all around the country. All of the characters had some small grain of truth to them; haven't we all encountered someone as ghastly as 'Don't' at one time or another?

Some fared less well than others; 'The Double Take Brothers' used to react with exaggerated excitement each time the unexpected occurred, and caused me to press the 'mute' button on my remote, and the first series featured a superhero spoof which fell embarrassingly flat, but there were enough good characters for Enfield to develop over two seasons, and into the spin-off 'Harry Enfield & Chums'. For instance, 'Little Brother' mutated into the miserable teenager 'Kevin'. Earlier I mentioned that this was a 'traditional' sketch show. By that I meant the show owed a great debt to the late, great Dick Emery's long-running Saturday night series. By his own admission, Enfield was a big fan of Emery's, and intended 'Programme' as a homage. Writers included Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, who had worked on 'Spitting Image', and Charlie Higson, later to create the popular ( but inferior, in my view ) 'The Fast Show'. Special mention must be made of the fine supporting cast, in particular Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke. Many of the best sketches featured pairings either of Enfield and Whitehouse or Enfield and Burke.

But it was with Whitehouse that Enfield really shone. Whether it was as idle garage mechanics 'Lee and Lance', 'The Old Gits' or 'Smashie & Nicey', Whitehouse and Enfield were one of the funniest comedy teams I can recall seeing. Its not every day that a television comedy show panics a radio station into dumping its presenters, but 'Smashie & Nicey' had that effect. With their cheesy patter, outdated fashion sense and over-reliance on the hit 70's record 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' by The Bachman Turner Overdrive, the aging disc jockeys were a stinging criticism of the old school of Radio 1 broadcasters. The consequences were devastating: Dave Lee Travis famously resigned on air. Simon Bates, Alan Freeman and even Gary Davies were shown the door. Luckily for Tony Blackburn, he'd moved on a long time before. In recent years, Harry Enfield has become the 'forgotten man' of British comedy. His series for Sky Television - 'Harry Enfield's Brand Spanking New Show - was so bad even he admitted to never having watched an episode.

It was recently confirmed he would be teaming up again with Paul Whitehouse for a new show. If it will be as funny as this one, I can hardly wait. Was the above review useful to you? 1 out of 1 people found the following review useful: Harry Enfield is a quiet surprise find in America from United States 18 January 2015 Since there is only one review of this on IMDb in 8 years I thought I would comment as well. Enfield's sketches are hit and miss, but a review of his work over the last 25 years shows a great honing of his wit, and when his skit is on, it is deadly. Some of the sketches require a bit of knowledge of British culture. For example, the Smashie and Nicey sketches are a send up of the BBC Radio One DJ's of the era. You wouldn't know, for example, that Paul Whitehouse as Mike Smash moaning on-air about his wife leaving him and playing the same record over and over again is a joke about the real life broken-heart goings on by Tony Blackburn on BBC Radio One in 1976.

Even not knowing the origins of the sketch it's quite hilarious, but knowing it makes it wickedly funny. Enfield and Whitehouse, being older now themselves, target an older crowd for their barbs, and it fits them better than doing routines like Kevin or LoadsaMoney. Nevertheless, there is plenty in the 1990's era Enfield that is outstanding. I only found Enfield accidentally through YouTube; I suppose the inside-joke nature of their British targets makes it difficult to translate over to a broad cross section of American audiences, but I find it devilishly dead-on. Was the above review useful to you? ''Is that what you want because that's what'll happen!'' from Wallyford, East Lothian, Scotland 13 October 2015 *** This review may contain spoilers *** Like many great comedians, Harry Enfield first shot to fame in the 80's after providing voices for 'Spitting Image', as well as making regular appearances on Channel 4's 'Saturday Live'.

It was on 'Saturday Live' that Enfield conceived a host of memorable characters such as Greek kebab shop owner Stavros, loud-mouthed Cockney Loadsamoney and drunken Geordie lout Buggerallmoney. In 1989, Enfield played the leading role in 'Norbert Smith - A Life', a mockumentary charting the life and times of a fading British actor and by the start of the 90's, Enfield had gained enough respect from viewers to be awarded with his first weekly comedy show - 'Harry Enfield's Television Programme', shown by BBC 1. 'Television Programme' was a big step for the likable comic. It was here where he first introduced us to some of his best comic creations such as the revolting Wayne & Waynetta Slob, obnoxious know-it-all Mr.

Don't Wanna Do That, buck-toothed Tim Nice But Dim, The Old Gits, The Scousers, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore inspired Lee & Lance ( who first appeared as car mechanics and then later as flower stall holders ) and ageing disc jockeys Smashey & Nicey ( both of which were based on real-life disc jockeys Alan Freeman and Tony Blackburn ), who ended each sketch by playing 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' by The Bachman Turner Overdrive. Smashey & Nicey became cult characters, later landing their own one-off show, 'Smashey & Nicey - The End Of An Era'. Some sketches fell flat such as those containing the annoying double-take brothers ( who would react with exaggerated surprise whenever the unexpected occurred ) or Les The Forgetful Barman ( ''Maureen, its getting a bit busy down here, my love!''. ''Les, you're not married!''. ). Fortunately, many of the sketches hit the target more than they missed. As well as a strong production team behind him, Enfield was also backed up by a fine supporting cast who included Paul Whitehouse, Kathy Burke, Gary Bleasdale, Joe McGann and Jon Glover.

Guest appearances included Martin Clunes, Caroline Quentin ( both of whom Enfield worked with on the first series of 'Men Behaving Badly' ), Kate Robbins, Doon Mackichan and Alan Freeman. Kate St. John wrote the show's excellent theme tune. Two series were made in total, concluding with a Christmas special in 1992 entitled 'Harry Enfield's Festive Television Programme'. A year and a half later, 'Television Programme' was revamped as 'Harry Enfield & Chums' which, if anything, was even funnier. 'Harry Enfield & Chums' retained many of the original characters but also introduced some new characters such as Kevin The Teenager and The Lovely Wobbly Randy Old Ladies. Enfield seems to have lost his touch with comedy these days. His Sky One series 'Brand Spanking New Show' unsurprisingly never made it past the first series and his latest effort for the BBC entitled 'Ruddy Hell, It's Harry & Paul' was so poor it gave me the urge to stick my foot through the screen. Thankfully, we have repeats on UK Gold of 'Television Programme' and 'Enfield & Chums' to remind us of how great he once was.

A pity about the continuing delay of the DVD release though. Was the above review useful to you?

Saucy old ladies and the gas man harry enfield and chums bbc comedy Early life Born in Horsham, Sussex, England, he is the oldest of three children, the son of English television, radio and newspaper journalist and presenter Edward Enfield. He has two sisters. He was educated at the independent Arundale School in Pulborough, Dorset House School, Worth School, Collyer's Sixth Form College (all in West Sussex) and the University of York, where he was a member of Derwent College and studied politics. He worked for a while as a milkman. Career Enfield first came to public attention when appearing on Channel 4's Saturday Live as several different characters created with Paul Whitehouse. These quickly entered the national consciousness. Among these characters were Stavros, a Greek kebab shop owner with fractured English; and Loadsamoney, an obnoxious, Cockney plasterer who constantly boasted about how much money he earned. The Loadsamoney character took on a life of its own and sampled the song "Money, Money" from the musical Cabaret to spawn a hit single in 1988 and a sell-out live tour.

In May 1988, Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock used the term loadsamoney to criticise the policies of the Conservative government of the day and journalists began to refer to the "loadsamoney mentality" and the "loadsamoney economy". As a foil to Loadsamoney, Enfield and Whitehouse created the Geordie "Bugger-All-Money" and in 1988 Enfield appeared as both characters during the Nelson Mandela Birthday Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium. In time Whitehouse and Enfield became disturbed that Loadsamoney was being seen in a positive light, rather than as a satirical figure, and they had him run over during a Comic Relief Red Nose Day show while leaving the studio after presenting host Lenny Henry with "the biggest cheque of the night"—a physically huge cheque for ten pence. Enfield created "Tory Boy", a character which portrayed a young male Conservative MP. In 1989, Enfield realised a personal project, Norbert Smith - a Life, a spoof on British theatrical knights slumming in the film industry.

He also provided voices for the British satirical puppet show Spitting Image, and starred as Dirk Gently in the BBC Radio adaptations of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. TV series In 1990, Enfield developed his BBC sketch show, Harry Enfield's Television Programme, later called Harry Enfield and Chums, with Whitehouse and Kathy Burke. Eschewing the alternative comedy style prevalent at the time, both versions of the show were indebted to early '70s comedians such as Dick Emery and Morecambe and Wise. Enfield and his co-performers created another group of nationally recognised characters for these shows, such as Stan and Pam Herbert, who use the catchphrase "We are considerably richer than you" (in an exaggerated West-Midlands accent), Tim Nice-But-Dim, The Scousers, Smashie and Nicey, Wayne and Waynetta Slob, Annoying Kid Brother, who grew into Kevin the Teenager, and two old-fashioned BBC presenters, Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Grayson.

Sponsored Links In 1991, Enfield played Dermot in the sitcom Men Behaving Badly along with Martin Clunes, Caroline Quentin and Leslie Ash, originally on Thames Television. Enfield left after the first series, and was replaced in the second series by Neil Morrissey as Tony. Enfield is a professed fan of opera and fronted a Channel 4 documentary series on the subject.

His current comedy series Harry & Paul (originally titled Ruddy Hell! It's Harry & Paul) started in 2007. In September 2013 Enfield appeared in the BBC Three comedy series Bad Education as Martin, the father of Jack Whitehall's character Alfie. In October 2014, Enfield and Paul Whitehouse returned to the characters of Frank and George in a sketch for Channel 4's testicular cancer awareness comedy show "The Feeling Nuts Comedy Night".

Films In 2000, Enfield appeared in his first leading film role playing Kevin alongside Kathy Burke, who played the character's (male) friend Perry—roles originally created for Enfield's television series—in Kevin & Perry Go Large. The film charted the pair's attempt to become professional DJs by travelling to the nightclubs of Ibiza and pestering their idol, the DJ Eyeball Paul, played by Rhys Ifans, while gaining love and losing their virginity. Enfield also appeared as King George VI in Churchill: The Hollywood Years (2004), a satire on Hollywood's tendency to change elements of history. In 2012, he starred with Simon Callow in the film Acts of Gordfrey, which opened in UK cinemas on 27 January. He reprised his role as Martin in The Bad Education Movie, released on 21 August 2015.

Video games In 2012, a likeness of his character Loadsamoney, named "Harold Lott", was released as a DLC skin for the game Killing Floor. A sample of the character 'Loadsamoney'(Shut Your Mouth and Look at my Wad) is used in the 1989 Game "Blood Money". Commercials Enfield appeared in some television commercials before becoming famous, including one made in 1987 for Heineken. Enfield's commercials include a series made in 1996 for Dime Bar. One commercial in this series had Enfield as a yokel refusing a Dime bar—smooth on the outside, crunchy on the inside—because he preferred armadillos—smooth on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Later Enfield, with Paul Whitehouse, starred in a series of commercials for Hula Hoops as The Self-Righteous Brothers, characters from Enfield's television show. In 2004 Enfield starred in a series of commercials for Burger King in the United States as Dr. Angus, a character intended to promote the company's newest hamburger.

Two more characters from Enfield's TV series, Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Grayson, also appeared in commercials, for Mercury Communications. Also in 2004 Enfield provided the voice of "The Roaming Gnome" character used in Travelocity's U.S. advertising campaign.

Harry Enfield - Artist - Deckchair Dreams - Royal Parks Foundation Royal Parks Foundation About Harry Enfield Harry Enfield is a BAFTA award-winning comedian, actor, writer and director. His television comedy career began in the 1980s on Channel 4’s Saturday Live where he appeared as characters Stavros and Loadsamoney.

He went on to develop his sketch show, Harry Enfield’s Television Programme with Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke, which introduced the nation to new characters who would go on to become household names, including DJs Smashey and Nicey, Wayne and Waynetta Slob, Tim Nice-but-Dim and Kevin the Teenager. His TV comedy has continued to include Harry Enfield’s Brand Spanking New Show, Celeb and Harry & Paul, and he has also appeared in sitcom (Men Behaving Badly), drama (Skins) and feature film (Kevin & Perry Go Large). Enfield is married with three children and also has a lifelong passion for ducks. Deckchair Design Harry donated a deckchair design for Deckchair Dreams 2013. Harry told how he feels about the Royal Parks: I use a Royal Park daily - the great thing about London is it's so green. I try to get to St. James once a week and go to Regents Park and Hyde Park most days. Harry also told us his inspiration for his deckchair design: I used to sit on a deckchair in 1982 overlooking the Serpentine writing my first rubbish in the late but hot autumn of that year.

I loved the ducks there, the mallards, Tufteds, and these Pochards. "Hello Ducks" is your traditional cockney greeting. Harry's limited edition deckchair is available to buy from our online shop . All proceeds help to support the Royal Parks. Harry Enfield Character Assassination Harry Enfield describes his new series for Sky One as experimental. So just what has he got planned for an unsuspecting audience? Elise Harris tries to find out. Tim Nice-but-Dim, Wayne, Kevin, Tory Boy - Harry Enfield says they're dead. Probably. Gone to the great comedy heaven already inhabited by Stavros and Loadsamoney. But he has more than 25 new characters waiting to take over, including a sports presenter obsessed with the voices in his head, a dying man who imparts Viz-tips inspired last words before making a complete recovery in time for Countdown, and a offensively tactless South African chemist. And there is a whole new set of supporting actors to help out, including Gwyneth Strong ( Cassandra in Only Fools and Horses) and Jason Hughes (Warren in This Life). So why the move to Sky?

"Everything was going to be all new and there was no Kathy and PauI. I wanted to do it more low key. People like what they know. If they don't know it takes some time to get used to it. Sky were very supportive of that." The new series also features a number of real-life based characters, such as Paxman, David Beckham and "Chris Great" - a red-headed disc-jockey who takes delight in humiliating his sycophantic team. Harry says, "Anyone I offend can get their own back. I mean the only person I really offend is Chris Evans and he can offend me relentlessly every day - it's not like it's a soft target." Paxman, is based on Jeremy Paxman, obviously but not completely, "It's kind of what you'd like him to say. It's not entirely him because I'm not very good at impressions." He also does a James Mason/Captain Nemo character. Only instead of a submarine the action takes place in a Renault Espace, and Nemo is obsessed with running Ford Escorts (blue ones) off the motorways. The series also gives some historical insight into why Hitler was so obsessed with big blond Aryan boys.

So what was he thinking there? "That was Richard Coles from the Communards idea. But I'm a bit unsure. It seemed funny at the time," Harry admits. "I enjoyed it at the time but then afterwards I'd think ah well. Maybe I'm not too good at camping. But that's what this is about you know experimenting." Despite a reputation for "being political" sometime in the deep and distant past, Harry says that's all behind him. "I don't really get accused of being political. I mean occasionally I'm political, but not very. But I don't really mind - I don't take a line. If I'm political I'm just horrible to everyone. I've taken the piss out of both sides." There is certainly no political agenda in the new show. There is however the opportunity for more adult humour than he was allowed on the BBC. There is swearing, and one of the sketches features a bored couple having sex while doing crosswords, watching TV and making phone calls. "I quite like that it's very black. It's what marriage is like. Not mine obviously," he says. The Mancs features a gun-toting, drug-taking Manchester family. A cross between The Royle Family and Reservoir Dogs.

And Cornish Ladies Man boasts about his many celebrity conquests (including Zoe Ball and Germaine Greer). He's not too worried about shocking people, "If they don't want to be offended they can turn over." Out of all the new creations Harry's favourite is "People -think-we're-sisters" a nightmare mother who insists on dressing like and talking for her teenage daughter. And sleeping with all the daughter's boyfriends. He also enjoyed Kenneth and Richard, in which he plays an angst-ridded actor who can't cope with decisions like "what coffee to have from Starbucks". Whatever happens with the series, Harry's attitude is just wait and see. "I'm not ruling out anything," he says. "Might do a film, might do another series might do a telly special. Might not." Asked if it's flattering to be used as a benchmark for so many up and coming comedians, he says, "I don't know really. I didn't know I was. Oh well, that's nice." Well, the self-effacing thing seems to have worked so far.

Comedian Harry Enfield makes £10million from his Notting Hill home comments Laughing all the way to the bank: Enfield as Loadsamoney in 1988 Comedian Harry Enfield has lived up to one of his early catchphrases and made 'loadsamoney' from selling his Notting Hill house for about £12m. He defied the credit crunch to make a near £10m profit on the property in the heart of a conservation area, nine years after buying it. Enfield, 47, and his wife Lucy, a designer, paid £2.5m for the house after selling their previous home in Primrose Hill for £1m. The couple, who have three children, are believed to be moving to a smaller property nearby. The townhouse, a stuccoed building with several storeys, is near the house used by contestants on The Apprentice, which is worth £12m. Other neighbours include Tatler editor Geordie Greig and Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy. The comedy star is very involved in the community, performing in the annual local celebrity-studded panto, and his son Archie attends the nearby Notting Hill Prep school.

Enfield, who also has a home in Buckinghamshire, is best known for his Nineties TV sketch show Harry Enfield And Chums, which included the characters Kevin the Teenager, Tim Nice But Dim and, with Paul Whitehouse, Smashie and Nicey. Enfield rose to fame in the Channel 4 show Saturday Live as Stavros, the kebab shop owner, and Loadsamoney, a loud-mouthed plasterer who boastfully waved wads of cash around and was seen as a critique of Thatcherite values. Profit: Enfield's townhouse in in Notting Hill sold for £12m Although Loadsamoney - along with his catchphrases of 'bish, bash, bosh' and 'shut your mouth' - was a huge hit, Enfield eventually decided to kill off the character because he feared it was being mis-represented. Loadsamoney met his end when he was run over during a Comic Relief Red Nose Day show, while leaving the studio after presenting host Lenny Henry with 'the biggest cheque of the night' - a physically huge cheque for 10p.

He has more recently been seen playing the father of Nicholas Hoult's character in the controversial Channel 4 programme Skins, and has been working behind the scenes as director. Last year he reunited with Whitehouse in Ruddy Hell! It's Harry And Paul. He is now filming a new BBC show. Harry Enfield and wife Lucy defied the credit crunch to make a near £10m profit on their property nine years after buying it Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse at the Clyde Auditorium Tickets: £32.50 to £37.50 Get Tickets After 25 years of TV comedy, Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse are bringing their first ever live tour together to Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium in autumn 2015! Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse have announced details of a UK tour. A host of the comedy duo’s famous characters will take to the stage at Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium on the 3rd of November 2015, in their brand new ‘Legends!’ show. The duo mark 25 years as a comedy partnership for their Legends! tour, which will take in 17 shows across the UK in the autumn.

Starting in Plymouth on the 24th of October, the tour will also head all around the UK including one night in Glasgow’s Armadillo. The tour will end at London’s Eventim Apollo on the 15th of November. The pair have worked together since the late eighties and are responsible for some of the most famous and much-loved comedy characters and most memorable catchphrases. They include Loadsamoney, the Old Gits, Smashie and Nicey, Kevin the Teenager, Tim Nice-But-Dim, Wayne and Waynetta Slob and The Scousers. Harry Enfield and Chums, originally shown on BBC Two in 1990, quickly became one of the UK’s most popular alternative comedy shows. Most recently the pair collaborated on the BBC One sketch show Harry and Paul which ran for four series. The tour follows the announcement of a TV special marking their quarter of a century of satire, in which the pair will caricature real-life personalities such as the late prime minister Margaret Thatcher and actor Mark Rylance.

Despite working together for 25 years, this is the first time they will have been on tour together, and they are promising quarter of a century of classic comedy characters and old favourites. Audiences can expect to see their favourite characters, and perhaps even find out what’s happened to Kevin? Has Loadsamoney still got the dosh? Does Smashie still do a lot of good work for charity and love all the Lidl people? Does Nicey still have his knighthood? Tickets will go on sale next Monday (April 20) at 9am.
