CTF sketch used to clip show

I thought people might be interested in this ...

Last night, Sky One (or Two or Three or whatever) had one of those clip-show things. This one was called "50 Great Politically Correct Questions" - it looked back at things like the "Black & White Minster Show" and "Mind Your Language", and asked 'where they actually racist?'

There was also a bit about gay stereotypes, and comedy reinforcing them (cue footage of "Gimme Gimme Gimme" and Duncan Norvelle, the "chase me" 80s comedian who was actually straight). They also showed the "Night Chug" gay sexline sketch from series 1 (I think) of CTF.

It's always been one of my favourites - and it was nice to see it getting a wide airing.

Has CTF popped up in clip shows before ("50 Greatest Sketches About Lighthouse Keepers" perhaps)?

PS - Much as I like Kiernan and Hemphill, someone posted a photo of them online on the comedy forum "Cooked and Bombed" last week, and had written underneath: "Hale and Pace" - which I must admit, made me smile!

Actually, I've just realised, a clip-show on Sky 2 isn't really a "wide airing", is it?

Hey-ho. Still, it was nice to see it again!
