Watson and Oliver: A Sketchy Start

The eyebrow sketch
It’s been 372 years since the BBC commissioned a zany comedy series from a pair of ladies so the new 6 part series written by and starring comedy double act Watson and Oliver should be big news.

I got that bit wrong, not ‘comedy double act’ I meant ‘female comedy double act’, who would have thought, in 1987 when French and Saunders were commissioned by the BBC that the term ‘female double act’ would still be required because male is still the default.

Last week I wrote about roller derby being under consideration by the Olympics for inclusion as an Olympic sport. Did I sound like I knew what I was talking about? I think I’ve hammered it home in various posts how I am not a sporty person, I was an arts student and it shows in my language. I don’t have job interviews, I have auditions. I don’t point out those runners training; I shudder at the idea of rehearsing at 6am. Those people sitting in the stalls? Sorry stadium. Why, that’s the audience not spectators. Basically what I am trying to say is this: I don’t play sport and I don’t watch sport.

On Saturday I think I got tricked into watching a sport. I don’t know what you call a write up of a sports event, so I’m calling it a review.

Seems I’m not the only one who has issues with how to greet people and human contact. I’m in the company of Jo Brand who struggles with air kissing, PDA and greeting people, in spite of her totally friendly persona. So she’s back on the Beeb taking us on her journey through kisstory in Brand on Kissing.

First stop is with Dr Paul Taylor, who lectures in Communications Theory, to discuss if the value of the kiss is being lost. Yes, the pair conclude, although they don’t get off to prove any kind of point. Instead Taylor makes the point that “the upside of repression is it’s all the more exciting, whereas now…5 Red Bulls and vodka and everyone’s at it”.

Dr Taylor also commented that in the Judeo-Christian world life begins with G_d’s kiss of life to Adam, Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss. Now we round off a text or e-mail with an X. Whatever your beliefs are or aren’t there is some bathos about that.
