For those of you in the group who want to understand why the British members have the strange sense of humour they do, you need look no further than the children's TV they were brought up on. Sure hepled me.

Are you sure this was not a special program made for a certain Mr Jackson?

Somewhere I read that that particular bit of footage was never actually aired. It was made as a joke for a Christmas party for the cast and crew.

Part of the humor of the piece is not just what is said, but what is not said.

It took me two or three viewings to catch the joke behind someone saying "One skin, two skin, three skin, four..." as they peel a banana.
