Technically I'm a bit late with this, but....
i love alistair mcGowans show, i think it's really funny in most parts, particularily the Louis Therox and Sven and Gary linekar scenes. i saw the Helen and Paul bit tuther week, and i just thought it was funny. particularily the 'i've lost half a stone bit'.
i read somewhere that Helen thinks the skits of them are really funny, and it's meant to be lighthearted.

I love these!
Sorry, back to topic - it shows that they are still popular if he is still doing skits of 'em, doesnt it? otherwise he wouldn't be able too.
