3x5 - Series 3: Episode 5

March 19, 2004

Gags and jokes this time include a Woody Allen look-alike in EastEnders, a David Bowie look-alike in Learner Drivers, impersonations in Emmerdale, Frank's death in Footballers' Wives, a new character called Clops in The Bill and a drink called Stelberg in Coronation Street. From Channel 4 documentary Who Kidnapped Shergar?, Harry makes fun of the man in charge of the investigation, Chief Superintendent James Murphy (the fact that he wasn't very knowledgeable about what was going on and relied on sources like the news to provide evidence). We also have a sketch called ‘Murphy and Horse' (featuring John ""Huggy"" McCrirrick) where James Murphy and Shergar go around fighting crime. There's also a fight between Paul Michael Glaser/David Soul and Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson to celebrate the release of the new Starsky and Hutch movie to see which version of the 1970s police series is better: old or new and all the usual malarkey.
