Of mice and men

[mickd1961]

Rowan Atkinson’s speech on free speech is excellent and well worth a watch.

On an aside, in his speech he mentions one of my favourite sketches of all time from ”Not the nine o’clock news”: ”Constable Savage”.

Constable Savage has repeatedly arrested a man due to ludicrous charges, such as:

Loitering with the intent to use a pedestrian crossing

Looking at me in a funny way

Smelling of foreign food

Walking on the cracks in the pavement

Urinating in a public convenience

Etc, etc

The man arrested is a Mr Kadogo, and when Constable Savage is asked whether Mr Kadogo is coloured, Savage replies: ”Not that I have noticed sir”.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A truly brilliant sketch Thomas.

When the inspector says……”Savage….your a biggot” and Savage replies….”thank you sir”.

“It’s not a compliment Savage” says the inspector !🤣🤣🤣


Not The Nine O’Clock News is the best sketch show of my lifetime……stuff like this is sorely missed these days.


My favourite all time line from the show was when Pamela Stevenson was pretending to be one of our then famous news readers Angela Rippon quoting Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher……


“Mrs Thatcher is concerned about the number of out of work young black people…….there simply are not enough of them!!” 🤣🤣🤣

Rowan Atkinson is a genius.
