<P> It is this situation that gives Corbett the pay - off line; as the others describe their advantages in the form of "I get...(e.g. a sense of superiority)", his character finally looks up at the others and says "I get a pain in the back of my neck ." </P> <P> The British Film Institute commented, "Its twinning of height and social position, combined with a minimal script, created a classic TV moment ." The sketch's influence has persisted to the present day, having been referred to in 21st - century discussions of politics, sociology, and even football . </P> <P> Ronnie Barker wrote scripts for three further "Three Classes" sketches featuring the same characters, comparing their family life, their leisure activities, and their work . </P> <P> A spinoff sketch was broadcast on the BBC Millennium programme, satirising three eras of English history . Stephen Fry represents Modern Man, Barker a miller from the Renaissance, and Corbett a weaver serf from the Middle Ages . The basic premise of the sketch is no different from the original . The sketch was incorporated into The Nearly Complete and Utter History of Everything . </P>
