Extras - S2 E4 - Chris Martin

Mandy Cane Lane

I love how she was so unaware/unfazed at how it was really expensive for him 😅🤣

Danny

I must say i did have a big smile when you said "is she gonna get Pretty Womaned", knowing what was coming up. Knew you'd like that 😁

JokerDanny

It doesn't affect me badly, only on like hot days when I get out of breath.

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha, this was making me sad until I laughed at the end. 😅 I feel your pain Danny!

Mandy Cane Lane

🤭🤭🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

Interesting the loop holes people find! Haha. And the pretty woman call was easy but I was not expecting the music! 😅🤣🤣

JokerDanny

I have a deviated septum so I'm with you on not being able to breathe properly, I literally sound like a bulldog when trying to breathe through my nose, if I get out of breathe I actually pant like a dog when breathing through my mouth because of my underbite. Maybe I'm just turning into a dog. lol

Lewis

Are you having a laugh? Is he having a laugh?

Hi Mandy, 2:50 Chris Martin: “Plus, Gwyneth’s making drumsticks” Name-dropping his then wife Gwyneth Paltrow. 5:26 Funny you should mention live music performances sandwiched in an episode of a sitcom, “The Young Ones”, a 1980s British Sitcom used to do exactly that in every episode! For the cunning reason: it forced the BBC to categorize the show as "Light Entertainment" rather than "Situation Comedy”, which meant it got a budget, because no budget was available for further sitcoms 🧠 And yes, the live band performances were as random as you might expect, little or no effort made to weave them into the script, but still performed on the same set. 8:18 Did “The Crazy Frog” ringtone make an appearance in Argentina? 1 sec… its on a YouTube video with 3.9 billion views, Argentina must have been disconnected from the world entirely if you hadn’t heard of it 🤦‍♂️ 9:07 Mandy: “Is she gonna get Pretty Woman’d?” Wow, instantly nailed it! 👏 16:49 Mandy: “Is she famous?” Yeah, Davina McCall is a tv presenter, best known, in my opinion, for presenting many seasons of the UK “Big Brother” reality show. That’s actually stock footage of the 2006 Bafta awards though, so footage just used with permission 😕 17:25 “And the Bafta goes to… Jamie’s Prison Dinners” That voice-over sounds like Rob Brydon to me. 29:11 Aww, that sounded like a special performance of the end credits by Chris Martin himself, I was just getting into it. Fry and Laurie have been entertaining since the 80s, so yeah still relevant in 2006. Marvellous G

Feathers McGraw

You should keep it that way.

Mandy Cane Lane

It is on my list but I have no idea who it has or what it's about 😅😅

SynphamyMusic

That was hilarious though, you looking all confused with the silly organ music just going on and on!🤣 That cracked me up so much

Feathers McGraw

Well I just feel content and highly satisfied after that. 😊. Such a great episode. You know, if you enjoy that sort of randomness like with Chris Martin in this, you are gonna have a ball when you get round to The Young Ones. It better be on your list.

Rusty Dog

This is the video showing the very end of Cat Stevens saying "The only person missing here today is....", then the video starts. It's a quick one. Lovely song even though it's short at 1m06s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaCvHrr--Bs

Mandy Cane Lane

I have had bad experiences like with Monty Python The Holy Grail 😔

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! Does he have insurance? 👀 Maybe it is the same company that ensures Leland in "Along Came Polly" 😅🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Story of my life Joeb. Everyone is able to upload certain videos and mine get blocked, everyone's embedder works and mine doesn't, almost everyone can breathe air properly and I can't, and the list goes on... 😔

Mandy Cane Lane

And the fact that they play along is such fun!

Mandy Cane Lane

Ricky is 62? Huh, thought he was a bit younger. Time really does fly! Also, had no idea who Cat Stevens was so I was quite surprised to see a man when I googled 😅🤪

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Yes its a sitcom aimed at students in the 80s,they would be doing a scene when one of them would just look at the camera and say something like bloody hell its Motorhead and bang Lemmy 🤣

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Also the little town i live in had a band called 'The Houghton Weavers' this is a song about Uncle Joe's mint balls 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFDgoPgS-LU

Maximes was a nightclub it was dance music most nights but i used to go to friday rock nights

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHAA! Thank you for explaining! Brilliant stuff!!

Mandy Cane Lane

Also, what is Maximes? 👀

Mandy Cane Lane

I used to go by the Quakers factory by bus and the smell of warm oats would linger for minutes 😅🤢

Mandy Cane Lane

Aww, love that the sweets factory is called Uncle Joe's 🤗🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Lol, was it a sitcom? I can't imagine how they would play that off, so out of place 🤣🤣

Jeffrey44

Why don't you just watch all programmes right until the end? You never know what you are missing.

David Baker

Couple of questions/thoughts for you Mandy. Who is it who is Tom Cruise's Health Insurance Provder? and What in the Hell were they thinking!

Joeb Rogers

A new development in the embed case - video embeds are working fine for me for videos of a different patreon I'm subbed to 🤔

Lee Dellbridge

At the end it was newsreader Moira Stuart who the Bafta guy was asking Ronnie Corbett if he got his drugs from her. I just love how this show just makes famous people the complete opposite of reality lol.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

You're right but Bolton really is chav central Wigan town centre is like Q gardens compared

Danny

I think their later show "Bottom" is a bit easier to watch as ridiculous as that sounds, Young Ones is like an acid trip at times 😅

Danny

Ricky loves Cat Stevens, he used to always play his stuff on XFM. I'm sure Ricky loved that shout out

Danny

Used to love going past Uncle Joes and you could smell all the minty sweets cooking. The treacle toffees are my favourite. Maximes became chav central about mid 2000s. A proper sordid dump. It changed hands several times and was always getting shut up for people using it as a drug den. It shut up for good a couple of years ago, its storage units I think now

Tony Mingoia

The lady in the end clip is Moira Stuart, a newsreader of the time. When Ricky, Stephen and Ronnie are being interrogated about the drugs, the official says "Where did you get them? Was it Moira Stuart?" Turns out it was, and she's got Ricky marked for revenge. 😅

Rusty Dog

Classic scene with Steve peering over the toilet door with his goggle eyes :) There's a recent video come out on YT where Cat Stevens is live on stage and wishes Ricky a happy 62nd birthday to the crowd, then plays Tea for the Tillerman (his song from Extras).

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Uncle Joe's top notch sweets I'm from Bolton i have crawled out of Maximes club many times in the past.

Danny

Hah the factory in When the Whistle Blows is in a place called Wigan. It's like my 2nd home town after either working or going college there for about 10 years or so. Known for its Uncle Joe's sweet factory, which has been there over 100 years I think now

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Could they be holding the album 😆another great reaction cheers Mandy. The old 80s TV show 'The Young One' used to have a live band randomly in the middle of the show. The comedy is a bit out there but you might enjoy it.
