Mash and Peas is from 1996 and the Paramount Comedy Channel. Matt Lucas is Danny Mash and David Walliams is 
Gareth Peas. They present a televisual spoof each week in a similar vein to Rock Profile did with musicians. There
were nine episodes made and they are, unsurprisingly, very weird indeed! Paul Putner and Samantha Power from the 
Little Britain radio and TV shows appear, as do very familiar ideas that will get honed and used again in the future.

Episode One: Sex TV. A spoof of sex discussions, a sexuality-based spoof of the old Frost Report 'class' sketch.
Peas: "I dun it once on my own and once with someone else."
The non-stereotypical gays: "We do like Liza Minnelli though, she's sublime."
The David Furnish Rock Profile line is used here first: "He's a tremendous giver… give, give, give. He won't take, I've tried." The lesbian lesbians: "Lesbian, lesbian, Les Dennis, lesbian, Les Dawson, lesbian, Lester Piggott, Les Miserables..."

Episode Two: Prime Time. The very Irish 'Late Late Show', 'Barry Moore', travel show, 'Victoria Wouldn't'.
George Michaels isn't Irish and has no Irish relatives and has to do the Riverdance as punishment. "Bejesus to a child!"
David is Barry Moore, who does silly walks and nonsensical catchphrases, scaring Samantha Power and Paul Putner.
Matt is Victoria Wouldn't: "Is she northern? Is she retarded? Is she a stereotype?" Matt actually likes the real Ms Wood.

Episode Three: 'Gary British'. Matt is Gary British who hosts a late night TV review show and likes culture and homosexuals.
Gary: "Wake up, ITV! We don't want straight camp comedians, all our camp comedians should be proper homosexuals."
Gary spots a mistake: "In Eastenders when Frank asked Fat Pat if she wanted tea or coffee she replied "vagina."
Cockney soapstar visits: "I got poppadoms. Indian for crisps." He resembles Lou Todd and Lou Reed. And cockney filmstar: "I knew both Womacks. Womack and Womack. They ran the East End with a rod of iron, a rod of steel and a rod of papier maché."
Cockney Soapstar: "I watched Tootsie twice on video in one day."

Episode Four: American sitcoms. As seen on Channel 4's sitcom weekend around the same time: spoof US sitcoms!
Each sitcom has the same set, mad canned laughter and the same joke. Which is rubbish!
The sitcoms are 'A Puppet Lives In My House,' 'My Gay Dads,' 'Only Jerks And Horses,' and 'I'm Bland Yet All My Friends Are Krazy.' David Walliams plays Roderney, the only Brit in an American 'Only Fools And Horses' remake.
My Gay Dads: "Your dads are gay? What are you? A lesbian?" 
These sitcom sketches feature the League Of Gentlemen and Jessica Stevenson, who later went on to make her own crap sitcom!

Episode Five: Boyband. Scary old manager Kim is making a boyband, like in those documentaries on the telly.
Kim on his boyband idea: "I was in the bath in a hotel in Germany and it just came up."
Matt plays Aaron the lead singer, Paul Putner plays Owen and David plays Donald, who is Howard Donald from Rock Profile!
The boys' stylist: "I thought line, I thought shape, I thought colour, I thought High Street, I thought jigsaw, I thought blue, I thought movie, I thought bacon, I thought eggs, I thought I saw a puddy tat…"
The first single is a version of the hymn 'He Who Would Valiant Be' and the video idea is them on chairs being poked by forks.

Episode Six: Kids TV. 'Pray Away' (religious Playaway), 'Take Heart And Party', 'Why Don't You', and 'Jackanory'. All very strange!
Toe Knee Heart draws on a large piece of card and holds it up: 'help me, I've been taken prisoner.' Putner is Morph, Walliams is Mr. Bennett.
'Why Don't You' with scary bickering teenagers Daffyd, Gay, Owen and Dafydd. Recipe: "Banana paper pie, just like grandma makes it." Gay (Samantha Power): "Two bananas, four sheets of A4 paper, some toffees, some treacle, some honey and some syrup."

Episode Seven: Gaz Stop! Spoof of dreadfully edited late night mayhem shot on location, mostly catchphrases.
Gaz: "Total Fernando!" "…here in a tiny village in Cheshire called London."
New sport man (David): "I'm not Robert Powell… although I have done three series of 'The Detectives' with Jasper Carrott."

Episode Eight: Late night TV. 'Very Little Picture Show' with Mariella (Matt) , 'Cue The Musak', 'John Little Richard' (David).
Mariella is a bit Sir Bernard Chumley / Geri Halliwell: "give us a kiss and cuddle… be your best friend" (to Cockney Filmstar) "Superman 2, Chelsea nil." Mariella is rather self obsessed: "Competition: Who is this person? Me."
Cue The Musak: "Kew Gardens, Queue here, Kuwait… ""Some of them took up papier maché and made an island out of Thunderbirds."
John Little Richard: "You couldn't make it up! I've got quite a limited imagination." This sketch is quite dreadful, actually!

Episode Nine: Strange Phenomenons.
Not seen it! Boo hiss boo!
