Doctor Terrible's House of Horrible .
Originally broadcast in 2001, Dr Terrible's House of Horrible is a six-part pastiche of 1970s Hammer Horror from Steve Coogan's Baby Cow production company. Each episode is topped and tailed by Coogan beneath a mass of prosthetics in a high-back leather chair as the avuncular, flatulent, faintly morally debauched Dr Terrible. "That was truly diabolical", he concludes of each show, a verdict with which one or two critics unkindly and unfairly concurred.
Coogan also stars in each as six different characters. In "And Now the Fearing...", for example. he plays rat-faced, unpleasant millionaire Denham Denham; in "Frenzy of Tongs"--a mickey-take of the Fu Manchu films--he's the insufferably suave Nathan Blaze, a Jason King-a-like; in "Scream, Satan Scream", meanwhile, he superimposes a parody of Peter Sellers over a lampoon of the Vincent Price film Witchfinder General.

Although most of these episodes are elaborate period pieces and genuine care has been made to render them as scary as possible, the real period detail has been in recreating the luridly quaint, over-acted, hammy feel of the 70s productions to which these episodes pay affectionate homage. Although hardly a perfect series, the camped-up daftness of the entire enterprise, a star-studded cast that includes Honor Blackman, John Thompson and Ronnie Ancona, some nice scripting and Coogan's versatility all make for a programme that's hard to dislike.

Richie decides to challenge Eddie at playing some games, including "How much Custard can you put in your underpants" and Chess. Richie and Eddie decides to play Chess by using various items in the house to replace the missing pieces.

Cheers for that Vic. The face that Rik Mayall pulls when Eddie says "You're completely insane" is one of the funniest things ever ( I see you've included a pic of this )

Some great Comic Strip stuff there too. Those original Comic Strips are still some of the funniest things they've ever recorded. Also really liked 'Eddie Monsoon - A Life?' and my favourite of the lot 'Dirty Movie'. There are so many laugh out loud moments in this one I lost count

Lesbian Vampire Lovers of Lust (Hammer Horror parody, especially the Karnstein Trilogy)
Hans Brocken and his lovely new virgin wife Carmina are on their honeymoon when they encounter a castle owned by the mysterious Countess Kronstien. She and her ladies seem unusually interested in Carmina.

Those of us trying to erase the memory of seeing Lesbian Vampire Killers,the Corden and Horne spoof,would do better to watch this much more camp and funnier Hammer spoof,great sets and outragous characters.
