It is a good accent he does, when he was young his family lived in Droitwich Spa (where Mrs Wimp comes from) so I guess he heard many a B'ham accent.

Not the best attempt at the Brummie accent!

RIP Andrew Sachs.

Manuel was just the most perfect character, especially as he was an animal lover. Basil the rat's appearance in a biscuit tin never fails to make me cry with tears of mirth -

Saw this sketch a few weeks ago for the first time. Just had to share it with you all.

(For non-British forumheads who might not have heard of the Open University - it's known for enabling people to study by distance.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_University

It used to show a lot of its lectures on telly, very early in the mornings. You could switch on at the crack of dawn and learn about the most niche topics. This sketch makes affectionate fun of the type of lecturer and subject you were likely to see if you happened to catch one of their broadcasts in the early '70s.

Not comedy sketches or anything, just some nice studio bloopers, but I laugh so hard every single time (and I’ve watched them a lot). They’re essentially the same thing, just the second one has some animated drawings that are hilarious and cute too. Enjoy:

A bit silly, but Eric's great fun in this.
