I choose skin and Slovakian based on last years story about the Slovakian guy who got that full body snake tatoo...hence shedding his skin.
Plagiarism it certainly is not but if someone else has thought of "Shedding Skin" as oppossed to "Shedding load" then I apologise.

Didn't see the Skin Shedding sketch or whatever it was though on the link, I may download some episodes though, looks a bit dated compared to some of the more recent shows on the box.
Still funny though, not sure I like the format and I don't recognise any of the cast, I remember someone once told me to watch a show called Not The Nine O'Clock News once and I did and to me that was very old indeed and though funny it was too old fashioned, a bit like this show.
Thanks for the link and introducing me to show though.

The Day Today has to be one of the best shows ever. Brass Eye was great too, but TDT is a little less mean-spirited.
Some classic headlines from TDT:
Headmaster suspended for using big-faced child as satellite dish
Where now for man raised by puffins?
This the news, God I wish it wasn't
TWAT! That was liquid football...
Child made of paint wins by-election
Disgustingly old woman sniffed to death by puppiesPosted 10 months ago #
