Influential video on YouTube

Hello.What's the name of this movie?Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 10:01, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

You asked this two weeks ago and got no answer. You might get lucky this time, but you should probably ask elsewhere. -- BenRG (talk) 00:00, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

The problem that I can not find elsewhere --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 07:30, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

I want an article about the film.Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 08:23, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Well. perhaps if you found somebody familiar with Indian films, they could direct you to one (hence the link to a specialist forum). The fact that nobody has answered your question here suggests that none of us know the answer. Alansplodge (talk) 16:59, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Catchphrase

Which British comedian of the 1980's had the catchphrase "Too Risky?" 185.69.145.170 (talk) 13:37, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Jim Davidson. Tevildo (talk) 13:44, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) According to this it was Jim Davidson. By the way, I just found this using Google with the search terms "too risky catchphrase". Dismas|^(talk) 13:46, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Specifically, Davidson used the phrase regarding a character called "my mate Alex". He pronounced it "too wwwisky" with a rhotic R. Davidson released a "double A-side" music single in 1980, with "White Christmas" on one side, and "Too Risky" on the other. There is also "The Too Risky Video", a live stand-up performance in 1982, originally on VHS but re-released on DVD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.193.222 (talk) 14:39, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

That's not exactly what rhotic means; see R-labialization. —Tamfang (talk) 21:19, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm glad to say that I don't remember that record. Tevildo (talk) 00:32, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Please be aware the Davidson is infamous for being racist, misogynist and homophobic. Not really someone you want to bring up in polite company. 131.251.254.154 (talk) 10:14, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

There was a perfect example of the non-rhotic a few weeks ago when James Corden hosted the Tonys. He was talking about Broadway actors appearing on a certain TV crime series, hence he found himself repeatedly saying, "Lore and awduh." ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:24, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Surely you mean Laura Norder? She has a distant cousin, Lauren Forcement. Alansplodge (talk) 17:13, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

BBC4 Show order

I just finished Inbetweeners, then Fresh Meat, then Peep Show. Is there a show that logically comes next? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.49.128.58 (talk) 23:05, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Those three shows are from Channel 4, not BBC4. Although two of them are written by the same people, there's no connection between any of them, so how could any other show "come next"? If you're asking for a recommendation for a similar show, please clarify what you liked about these three. Rojomoke (talk) 06:46, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

The first is a British sitcom about misfit teens. The second is a British sitcom about misfit college students. The third is a British sitcom about misfit middle-aged people. It is rather easy to see the trend. If anything, he wants a British sitcom about misfit twenty somethings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B168:6C9F:A9B5:D905:A393:E8D9 (talk) 18:07, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

The IT Crowd? Tevildo (talk) 22:23, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Follwed by The Office? Or perhaps, dusting off the years, and crossing the Atlantic, Thirtysomething. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:19, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Well if he's after misfit elderly people it's "The Last of the Summer Wine" he's after! --TammyMoet (talk) 11:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
