I ask this question because my plan for when I get into comedy is to do a sketch show that is similar to Naked Video, so comedy could take a break from the Armstrong and Miller-type sketch shows that seem far too common these days. And so I wanted to check that if I did get to do a programe like this, would it appeal to anyone?
There are 60 million people in the UK and I can't speak for all of them but I liked Naked Video.
1 down.
59,999,999 to go.
I have never seen Naked Video.
I think it's the question everyone is asking. I'm not sure of the answer though.

I like them both.
As regards whether it would appeal...
Naked Video was a bit Corny But they had some great performers & got away with it.
I suppose it would depend on how well it was done.
Naked Video was class, but a bit cheesy. IIRC a lot of the scenes required no dialogue, so can be quite easily syndicated internationally. Mr Bean made a load of money in countries where people don't speak English as a first language.
If you're looking for credibility you'd have to go down the M&A way, top sketches, and a bit high brow, so might be less marketable overseas.
Depends on what you're after really.
Pulp Video was the one.

Well... yeah... but.... er. Okay Naked Video was better. 
Haha
I understand the reference now.
Shame you can't get any scenes on YouTube.
The only thing I remember hearing or seeing by yourself apart from your showreel & Richard Griffiths lovely monologue was something about a urine test.
Although next time I go on Holiday I will definitely take one of your Novels for the Beach.
Last time I was in Dagenham Library Death Row was on the Hotpicks stand

Haven't you got a link for that Cracker parody sketch you wrote? That was very good. (Go on, you know you want to...)
