At the moment it's the IT crowd, watched a few episodes when it was on tv but missed most of them. The full stand up shows thread has some excellent stuff, in particular Johhny Vegas, Frankie Boyle and Russell Brand! Also fawlty towers (repeatedly) and Dyer's deadliest men, some interesting characters in there. Days of enjoyment and i haven't even got on to the second page yet!

Er.. Well, it's me innit?

If you don't know me from other sites, hello. If you do, say hello.

I found a link to this site in a Viz torrent. I've been watching Faceless stuff for years, not found the "main site" till now! So, thanks for everything I've already seen over the years!

hello mr flanflinger - I don't recognise the name, but it's good to know that all those files are still kicking about

I keep meaning to update the Viz thread as I've got another 20 or so issues to add. I'll get that done this week

Yeah you've been capping for years - when did you start? I downloaded some comedy off Kazaa which had an intro saying "Faceless comedy - find it by searching" and I haven't used that since 2003!

Hello phantom, or is that Mr Phantomflanflinger...some flan actually sounds good right now...welcome to the couch. I see that you already have heard of our Mr Faceless, so you shouldn't be too surprized to what we get up to round here. Enjoy!!

The first thing I captured was a short sequence from 'Tommy', The Who musical. That was on the Atari ST back in about 1988 or something, so I've been at this stuff for more than 20 years. Feck.

Around 2001 was when I started doing things on the PC again though - mostly in wmv format because back then hardly anyone could handle full size files.

Uh, you're like, old, dude.

So am I though, or why would I have that as my avatar?

I never had an ST (or Amiga) I jumped from C64 to PC. I started 'pirating' on my ZX81 when I was little. What I'd do is, load the game. Then put a blank C90 in. Then type Save. Not much copy protection back then. Ah, crappy days.

ah right, he was on Tiswas eh? We weren't allowed to watch that as it was on ITV and common. Swap shop all the way for us snobby bastards!

swap shop ???? ...

actually, some of us should have been too old for this stuff. But, apart from the glorious anarchy, it was a great cure for a friday night hangover Smile

and then of course there was Sally James ...

I'm always looking for old clips of Tiswas, but there are very few around that aren't in the Tiswas 3-disc comp DVD and/or Tiswas reunited (like that one).

Someone uploaded a full Tiswas onto various trackers a while back but of course, most of it was chaff: cartoons, adverts, bands, interviews with dead celebs, etc.. Jackie Chan was in it though, that was OK.

That clip above where I meet Princess somebody or other is tech 'ot!

Course, it's all Lazytown these days...
