Jokes you dont/didn't get in the Dwarfcasts.

[MANI506]

Listening to the Dwarfcasts while watching the episodes is (Kevin Eldon voice) a really good idea, but there are a couple of references I don’t get.

‘There should be legislation’ (various Dwarfcasts)

‘sweeping away’ (Gunmen)

Where are these quotes from?

Sweeping away. That’s Hippies isn’t it. I think.

I watched Hippies recently but it looks like I need to watch it again!

[Ian Symes]

Sweeping away is indeed from Hippies – Ray (Simon Pegg) embarking on a long and elaborate metaphor, with props.

“There should be legislation” is even more obscure, but is a particular favourite of mine and Cappsy’s – it’s from a sketch in the first edition of Lee & Herring’s eponymous 1FM show from the mid-nineties.

HERRING: It’s tantamount to slavery! There should be legislation.
THE ACTOR KEVIN ELDON: Slavery *is* illegal.
HERRING: Well… good.

I should have got the Lee and Herring one because I live their radio one shows. That is pretty obscure though.
