"The French and the Saunders"

I saw this late last night and it was pretty funny. One woman from AbFab (Saunders) and someone else do a quick 30 minute parody on the Fellowship of the ring. As I type this, it starts in 10 minutes on BBC America. Some funny sight gags, like "wrong forced perspective" and stuff like that.

Anyway, if you get this channel, I reccommend you check this out!

I really wish someone else had gotten to see this. It has some very funny moments (and I am a staunch Tolkein purist).

I saw it last week... very funny. Same team that writes Ab-Fab.

The wizard fight with the wire-fu spin was a riot. F&S isn't as relentlessly funny as the best of Ab-Fab, but when it hits it hits hard. My favorite eps are when they do Bergman and another when Helen Mirren does a guest spot.

I saw it and it was as good as french and saunders normally are.

I loved how his name changed the whole time, dildo dodo, bobo,
and the blue peter badge was a real nice touch :D
