The Mary Whitehouse Experience - Ivan In The Greenhouse
Ivan is the overemotional presenter of Daytime Goodmorning Daytime. Behind his cheerful exterior beats the heart of a violent, emotional psychopath who goes to pieces at the slightest hint of bad news.
Here he is in possibly his best sketch, In The Greenhouse with, as ever, his old chum Colin Ditchmoore. Rob Newman is, as always, absolutely brilliant. One of the most understated comedians of our time.
The Mary Whitehouse Experience - Robert Smith Parody
Sketch from the 1992 series of The Mary Whitehouse Experience.
Rob Newman as Robert Smith singing 'The Laughing Policeman' (a very jolly song indeed) in The Cure's usual style (not very jolly at all), poking fun at the period when The Cure released 'happy' and 'poppy' songs. Brilliant!
