"ted And Ralph"

[Answerprancer]

Who remembers the above from 1990s BBC "The Fast Show"?

I remember some time ago catching a film length presentation based on the short sketches featuring both of the main protagonists played by Charlie Higson (Ralph) and Paul Whitehouse (Ted).

I was expecting variations on a theme but was pleasantly surprised by what I saw; a brilliantly sketched small story reminiscent of Kind Hearts And Coronets, both funny and sensitive in parts.

My question is this: does anyone know where I can get a copy other than E-bay where the DVD seems to be a rarity and prices are high.

Reminiscences and comment welcome :-)

I loved Ted and Ralph. I remember the Christmas episode of the Fast Show when they got together

Remember it well, one of the best things on TV at the time.

That might be it, was it longer than usual?

There was never an official BBC release of jusyTed and Ralph.
though I expect someone has sliced all the clips together, have you looked on YouTube

[Answerprancer]

Not yet, I was hoping to find another source.

What I saw was a complete story not a compilation of clips.
Maybe someone has broken it up into parts and put it on YT.

Ah! ...Part one :-)

I adored Ralph and Ted - both Mr Higson and Mr Whithouse's finest character acting.

The essence of all great comedy is a character or characters trapped in their situation - Hancock / Fawlty / Meldrew/ Steptoes, and so on, and also the wafer-thin line between comedy and tragedy and R & T managed to tick all the boxes. It was so subtle, with pathos and humanity - just wonderful work in a wonderful series.
