I watched this sketch again the other day and to the best of my memory I think it was written by Reece and Steve -and it struck just how brilliant a sketch it is. When watching it, it seems like one of those gags that has been around forever, the setup is so wonderfully written.

It feels like a Two Ronnies sketch that with a sinister dollop - fabulous :) I can almost imagine RC and RB doing it.

I think so too. As far as I remember, Reece or Steve or both have mentioned in one or more interviews that they've written Geoff, Mike and Brian.

I love Mau Mau! Everything about it is just so BRILLIANT! I know it inside out but I laugh every time I watch it.

It is simply hilarious. And to think how young they were when writing it!

Oh yeah, absolutely.

And consequentially Jeremy thought they were bastards for having thought it up! Funny.
