NOT NINE O CLOCK NEWS: American Express sketch!???
dbf
where people would ask for something, get refused, then show they had an
AMERICAN EXPRESS card and get treated royally, culminating with Pamela
working at an airport asking if the AMX card holder would like to "squeeze
her tits as well?".
I have the BBC tapes and seen other tapes and watched the BBC reruns and
never seen this sketch again...was it removed because they used the
original AMERICAN EXPRESS company name in the sketch?
Just curious....

Wasn't it "put your head between them and go blubble blubble blubble
with American Express"?

The released tapes are only compilations of the "best" material from
(er...) 21 episodes. They may have left out that sketch for legal
reasons, or just because it wasn't as good/relevant as the ones they
included. The AmEx campaign they were spoofing was a long time ago
now, after all.

It was shown in one of the previous batch of reruns over the winter so
it's either due again, or I've lost cunt of the number of "Made In
Wales" parodies they did.

Typo? What typo? :-)
I don't remember Pamela Stephenson getting that out in a sketch...
