Used to love this as a kid. They are showing reruns of it on d'telly.

Bloody awful it is.

I didn’t watch any full episodes but I saw some clips of the dead stuntman. It had me laughing and laughing, even for hours afterwards.

Some things don’t age well - watched all the young ones episodes there recently and while still pretty good just didn’t think it had aged that well

I always thought the sketches could be hit or miss on The Fast Show. Watching it today, I still get a bit of a laugh from the ones I found funny in the 1990s.

Yeah a few can be amusing but I'd say 70% is utter dung

The 4 South Americans with the pan pipes for exampleConfused 
Jesse's dietsConfused

The competitive dad is funny and some sketches things that don't rely on catchphrases

The unlucky Al stuff still makes me laugh, and a lot of the Caroline Aherne solo stuff is quite good. The Christmas Episode is still very good.

Yeah I was the same. Harry Enfield was far better. 
And like the Fast Show plenty of that ages badly but still plenty of good sketches when viewed today 
It would damage this forums' reputation

Some great characters in the Jazz club my favourite plus the Duke of Wynbourne, Chris the Cockney theif, Ted and Ralph also class. Some awful unfunny rubbish as well ED Winchester, The pan pipers ( what's that about),  Jessie diet's ( stupid), family always in a hurry ( cannot understand).
