Television tonight: what's worth watching?

[Nuncio]

I wonder if you've conflated a couple of Fry and Lauries.

Here they are, spoofing Robert Robinson (but not the families).

And here is Fry, surveying a quantity of Laurie's whilst dancercizing

My best friend at school was on Ask the Family (father a solicitor).

There's something called "Quiz Ball", some horrendously complicated quiz for teams of footy players with celebrity backup, hosted by a teenaged David Vine.

I remember Quizball. I remember not understanding the rules but still being fascinated by it.

Dopesick on iPlayer.  Brilliantly acted and shocking.

Weren’t all the contestants on “Ask The Family” quantity surveyors* or was that some comedy show spoofing it?

* including the children

When BBC2 was 50, Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse did Story of the Twos and mercilessly sent up many BBC2 shows, including Ask the Family. Probably not on iPlayer, but it used to be on YouTube and is well worth a watch. Simon Sharma is done to perfection...

Fry & Laurie were the first thing that came to mind for me. I'm sure they did other Robert Robinson-based sketches besides that one.
