Talk:The Fast Show

Cast

I believe that it's about time this page was cleaned up, so I have decided to do what Father Ted and Little Britain pages have one and tidy the page up by creating a new page for smaller characters. I will keep all the major characters on the page (most are Paul Whitehouse's) of course FOxearth 23/3/2006 (UTC)

Channel 9

Is there any evidnce that Channel 9 is mostly Italian. Surely it is Spanish or Portugese. THe map Paula Fisch uses is of Iberia after all.

I'm editing the "mostly South American channel" part, since Chanel 9 is obviously Meditteranean-focused. The BBC website describes it as that as well. Jack the Stripper 14:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

L

Is this the wrong show or did this have "L is for Labour, L is for Lice"?—Preceding unsigned comment added by SimplySouth (talk • contribs)

I think that was Harry Enfield and Chums. Plenty of cast overlap there, but two different series entirely. ~Matticus ^T_C 17:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Scorchio merge

I agree with the proposal that Scorchio should be merged with this page. NotMuchToSay 00:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Scorchio should be merged with the Chanel 9 page if anything.

Redirect ?

Why is this article redirected from "Arthur Atkins" when there is no Arthur Atkins in the article? There is a "Arthur Atkinson" mentioned in the article.

Number of series

The text says there were four series plus and Christmas special, plus The Last Fast Show Ever, in three parts. However, I've only been able to find DVDs of three series, plus only part one of the Last Fast Show Ever (as is also mentioned in the available DVDs list). Are the others available anywhere? Were they ever released? Or is it a mistake and there were only ever three series and only one part of the Last Show Ever? 81.129.128.99 19:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Characters

The characters section is missing the bloke in the pub, who, when engaged in a conversation, always agrees with the last person who spoke, even if he/she contradicts his last opinion. JIP | Talk 20:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

What's going on with the Fast_Show_characters page? If there's a whole page for it, is there any need for a list on this one? --90.218.205.227 (talk) 22:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Tippo-Magico

What about the series of Chanel 9 adverts 'Tippo-magico' in which the usefulness of an articulated orange plastic device is enthusiastically, if not very clearly, demonstrated in a latin and greek-based mock 'foreign language' - all rather reminiscent of the UK television advertising of some K-tel products.

Errors, extra info

I took the liberty of correcting some small mistakes and adding some extra info on the characters "Competitive Dad", "Roy and Renee" and "Monster, Monster". The errors were as follows:

• Johnny Depp did not appear as a customer of the "Suit you!" tailors in the Season 2 Christmas special. Instead, he appeared in part 1 of "The Last Fast Show Ever" after expressing the desire to appear in the show and revealing himself as a huge fan of the show in an interview broadcast during "The Fast Show Night", an all-night BBC special.
• Rowley Birkin's unexpectedly touching delivery of his incoherent rambling monologue wasn't in the final episode of the show. Instead, it was in the final episode of season 2 (not including the Christmas special, which was broadcast after this episode, but is also officially a part of the second season). The character also appears to have died somewhere between the third season and the final episodes, like John Actor.

Shooting Stars

"The show produced two national tours, the first in 1998 with the cast of the BBC spoof quiz show Shooting Stars"

Why should they tour using the cast of Shooting Stars rather than their own? Does this mean they did a joint tour, or what? Britmax (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

According to the Bruce Dessau book about Reeves & Mortimer, the joint tour is what happened--TimothyJacobson (talk) 23:25, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Foster's Reason for restarting Fast Show?

I notice the references to Foster's Funny, but there is no reason why they decided to take the Fast Show on. Should there not be a section for this? I would not do that as I am not professional :) but could someone take this on, maybe? 92.21.209.218 (talk) 18:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC) (c/o Daylon124 becuase of security in a public libary)

Fosters Funny Series 2

Since it's not possible to add in a YouTube reference due to Wikipedia's spam filter and I'm unable to find another source online then it's a fact that will have to go unreferenced for the time being. It's easily verifiable by watching the end of episode 6 where it is announced, so as such I'm going to add it back in Fraggle81 (talk) 05:00, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
