Shark Bytes

The BBC show was getting stale and needed a boost of energy, but the SKY TV show was still crap. Even when the characters were funny, like the modernised 50s film stars, the "me! me!" guy and James Bond's brother Rodney the sketches just seemed off in some way. There was a cheap feel to it, and the audience were either total sycophants or the laughter was mostly manufactured. The new "Harry and Paul" show is marvellous however, and I don't care what anybody says!

Was always worth watching, but it was much better when it was on BBC2. When he moved to BBC1 they introduced some pretty lousy characters (Considerably richer, Wobbly Randy ladies, Jurgen the German) and phased out some of the better ones like Mr. Don't and Smashie and Nicey (although the later was understandable as it mirrored the real life redundancy of many DJs at the time). Also Kevin and Perry were overplayed and the film was a bore.

Stesso.

Great on BBC1, one of my favourites. Utterly pathetic as soon as it moved to Sky 1.
What hasn't been mentioned so far is that it wasn't only Harry Enfield that made this show great.Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke were also a huge part of it. After all, what would Nicey be without Smashie? Or Kevin without Perry? Or Wayne without Waynetta? Or only one Old Git? They left when he left BBC1 and it became unwatchable.

Harry Enfield's greatest sketches where the ones with Kevin and Perry. The film was a marvelous carry-on of the series and had real social awareness about it (the clubbing in Ibiza thing was not unrealistic at all). The downturn came when Harry Enfield got 'loadsamoney' when he jumped ship (and shark) and went to Sky.

suppose when it went to sky, absolute rubbish. Utter perfection on bbc,get this, our sociology teacher mentions him a lot. thats how good he is. plus those oldie infomercials, class.

The show jumped the shark when it just became a collection of tired catchphrases such as "onleeeey me", " considerably richer than yow" and " loadsa monee". Or was it always like that.

Kevin the Teenager's dirty trainers have not yet been filled by any character yet - he was just too classic. I suppose his Ibiza clubbing movie had to be the end of him because he finally 'scored'. He and Perry were brilliant, new series' characters don't seem as funny to me.

All I need to say is Harry Enfield and Sky-1

Oh dear, looks like Sky bought themselves a pup when they shelled out thousands for Harry. His new show is a crude shadow of it former self. What made his characters funny was that they were grounded in real life observation. However this new lineup are based on media celebrities or bizarre caricatures which exist in a vacuum such as the Cornish Fisherman who talks about bedding famous women. Being able to make adult jokes this time round hasn't helped at all. And of course he's on Sky One which means hardly anyone is watching anyway.
