In the final installment sharing my favorite Comic Relief skits, I bring you Richard Armitage doing comedy. If you've never seen The Vicar of Dibley, well what are you waiting for? That show is freaking hilarious. The first time (to my knowledge, anyway) that Dawn French's Vicar filmed a Comic Relief special was the "wife-swap" themed episode featuring Sting and RICHARD ARMITAGE. :) Happy times...
In poking around YouTube, I also found another Dibley special featuring JOHNNY DEPP! Never saw this one before, so that was a great surprise. I think it must pre-date the R.A. special though...
David Tennant, Catherine Tate, William Shakespeare, and Doctor Who references? Yes, please. Besides the fact that David Tennant as my English teacher would be a DREAM COME TRUE, this skit (also from 2007) is absolutely hilarious! David Tennant and Catherine Tate worked so well together on Doctor Who, and their screen chemistry is glaringly apparent in this laugh-out-loud special.
Since the newest Comic Relief skits (Doctor Who, Uptown Downstairs Abbey) broke on the internet last week, I've been inspired to look up some old favorites. First up is the skit from 2007 where James Bond, a.k.a. Daniel Craig, falls in love with Doctor Who's Donna, a.k.a. the hilarious Catherine Tate. Enjoy!
I've always enjoyed many of the BBC's Comic Relief sketches, and this year was no exception. With the wild success of Downton Abbey and the relaunch of Upstairs Downstairs, this Uptown Downstairs Abbey spoof is priceless.
