Sketch Comedy
DVD
B-

The highlight of this series-opener is Paul bending the laws, including of gravity, about a scene set on a submarine, with Robert Daws (Jeeves and Wooster's Tuppy) appearing as the Captain.  The "Abominator" ad is also quite good.

Robert Harley and Flip Webster return from the first series, while Gabrielle Blunt again plays an Elderly Lady, this time the one in the deck chair.  P.J. Nicholas and Kathryn Pogson make their first of three appearances each on the show, while Ben Miller does his first of six.  Ian Collier had recently played Seppings on Jeeves.  Liddy Oldroyd takes over as director.
