american friend introduced me to this recently - UK sketch show with mitchell & webb, matt holness, martin freeman, olivia coleman and other now-relatively famous people. Can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. all episodes appear to be on youtube.

laughed at some of it, not at others. Had to explain to my friend who Alan Titchmarsh was, which was worth it.
