Recycled Jokes | BBC Episode Guide
I recently started watching the show for the first time in 25 years and it still holds up. The only problem of watching them back to back is you see how many jokes are recycled. They only made around 3 shows a year over a 20 year period, so it was easy to forget what was done before and the audiences wouldn't remember anyway. Now TV, DVD and easy instant access, you can see the amount of reused stuff is quite a lot, so I decided to make a list of them. Sometimes I don't have all the sketches listed because you don't know it's recycled until you see it again. They aren't always word for word, but give you the gist.
98 so far.
