Private Notes
Merry Christmas from the Fast Show! This episode shows Christmas antics of such classics as Jazz Club, Ralph and Ted, the Greek TV personalities, and more. And in the end, the show goes off the air as the Greek TV personalities tell us the story of the birth of Christ, and the Geezer has a revelation.
The Cast and crew of The Fast Show talk about their experiences on The Fast Show.
Unaired sketches.
A festive farewell to the Fast Show begins with a special guest star appearance as Johnny Depp looks to buy a suit.
The Fast Show's last hurrah continues with Swiss Toni's explanation of fishing and a nice bit of Cuban Jazz, alongside other comedy favourites.
The last episode of supposedly the last Fast Show series ever features Competitive Dad's dad, Ron Manager's final piece of punditry and Colin Hunt's ultimate wacky prank.
Recorded live at London's Hammersmith Apollo in 1998, The Fast Show Live features all of the original cast of the highly successful sketch series (Caroline Aherne excepted) including Paul Whitehouse, Simon Day, Charlie Higson and Arabella Weir and practically all of their myriad characters and catchphrases. This live show effectively marks a last hurrah for The Fast Show team, with routines like the Coughing Bob Fleming singalong reworked from the series. However, as a feat of inventive stage management and quick costume changing, they do manage to maintain the Fastness of the TV series live.
Ralph is told that he needs to get married before his 35th birthday or he will lose his country estate.
There's Dave Angel Eco Warrior, Ted & Ralph, Arthur Atkinson, Jazz Club, Bob Fleming (coughing his way through the final Country Matters Show), Dave The Hairbrush & The Cardinal - "you mug, you slag, you muppet" - in the spoof film 'A Right Royal Cockney Barrel of Monkeys'. It's also your chance to say goodbye to Ron Manager who, fed up and shagged out, is leaving the Beeb to join the greed-filled scum at ITV. Oh, and there's, ooh sir, Johnny Depp, trying his very, very best in a 'Suits You' sketch.
