<P> A deliberate contrast, on Enfield's part, to show the opposite of' The Old Gits': Two lecherous old ladies who do not care who approaches them so long as the newcomer is male, and good looking . Their catchphrase is "Ooh! Young man!", which they repeat in an attempt to pass themselves off as' nice little old ladies', while comparing young men they encounter to male celebrities of their young adulthood ("You're the spitting image of a young Lester Piggott"). </P> <P> Played by Whitehouse in the style of Michael Caine as parodied by Peter Sellers in his infamous appearance on Parkinson in the early 70's . The parody is in part based on Caine's character from The Italian Job released in 1969 and so loved by British audiences ("I told you to only blow the bloody doors off") and his diction when presenting his lines in many of his films . It relies on Caine's ability to impart trivial information in the same way, starting with "Did you know ..." and ending with "...and not a lot of people know that .". Whitehouse continues in this tradition, talking about extremely dreary things his neighbours were doing such as "do you know, he didn't call that woman back until...approximately two hours later . Would Damon Hill have taken that long to call his mother? I'll be honest with you . I don't know . Not a lot of people know I don't know that, but I don't ." </P> <P> Parody of Mister Ed . A (supposedly) talking corpse (played by Whitehouse) who travels around with his living friend (Enfield) and often helps him get out of troublesome situations, such as in one sketch where he avoids a speeding ticket by pretending to rush Mister Dead to the hospital . The opening ditty is a parody of the original "Mr Ed" song: "He lives in box, he looks like a corpse . He's dead of course!". Additionally, all the characters display a typical southern US drawl </P> <P> An old - fashioned father, looking and sounding suspiciously like Enfield's own, who struggles to accept his son's homosexuality, often making tactless remarks and Freudian slips ("Make yourself at homo...er, at HOME!") or judgements based on stereotypes . For example, going up to a pink Fiat Panda that he assumed was his son's car . Ewen Bremner played the son's boyfriend in some sketches . </P>

Now i don't believe you wanted to do that
