This Armstrong & Miller period comedy sketch just went wildly viral and it’s straight out of the top drawer

Eagle-eyed readers will know this isn’t the first sketch we’ve featured this week from Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller’s BBC1 sketch show and it’s another classic.

It was shared by writer and biographer and much else besides @JamesAHogg2 (follow him here) who is very good at unearthing this sort of thing.

If you haven’t seen it before (and we hadn’t) you’re in for a treat and if you have then we reckon you’ll want to see it again.

“You Sir, I’m going to take you to a……..”

This is truly magnificent.

And here’s just a bit of the love people had for it (and them).

Their WW2 pilots are hilarious too. So underrated, they deserved so much more exposure.

Thank you, sir. I laughed so much that my servants were forced to physically restrain me.

Armstrong and Miller really did some cracking stuff. This, the RAF pilots, the Farmer’s Market, Brabbins and Fyffe, and my favourite “Kill them”.

Behold, an apology.
