Tear Jerker / The Fast Show

• Rowley Birkin QC, in his brief moments of clarity.
• Can be combined with a Drinking Game to get a Funny Moment.
• Ralph deciding to burn some of his things from when he was a student at agricultural college:
  Ralph: You remember I never completed the course.
  Ted: Oh, Sir, I came to visit you in the hospital, Sir.
  Ralph: Yes. Now Ted I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. As you know, a lot of people are frightened of, em...of mental illness.
  Ted: Your parents told everyone you had the flu, sir.
  (Both wipe their eyes)
• When Ted and Ralph turn to leave the graveyard at the end of series 3 episode 8, Ted suddenly hunches forward and needs to be supported by Ralph as they walk away.
• The sketch in which Archie the Pub Bore reveals that he has often thought about killing himself.
  • Along with the sketch where he finally finds someone who likes Frank Sinatra too, only for the man to run away when he goes up to the bar. The look on his face when he realises the bloke is gone is heartbreaking.
• Unlucky Alf finding out his whole village hates him is pretty depressing.
