Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders can be seen in 'The Nearly Complete and Utter Guide to Everything' this Tuesday on BBC1. This is the last of a two-part show, which began on Sunday, which celebrates history with sketches from stars of British comedy.
French & Saunders' part in the show will be their skit, first shown in the small hours of New Year's Day, where they play the part of two performers at the Millennium Dome's Body Zone. They are dressed as human eggs, in spherical costumes embellished with, er, 'tadpole' shapes. Appearing with them is Joan Bakewell, the presenter of the ethics and moral debate programme 'Heart of the Matter'.
Also featured are Richard Wilson, Helena Bonham Carter and Caroline Quentin and the show is introduced by the unflappable Angus Deayton.
'The Nearly Complete and Utter Guide to Everything' is on Tuesday January 04, 2000 at 10.20pm on BBC1 (UK viewers only).
UPDATE: 04 January 2000 -- French & Saunders' Millennial skit was last night seen again, as reported, in 'The Complete and Utter History of Everything', the conclusion of a two-part show which began on Sunday as 'The Nearly Complete and Utter History of Everything'.
Their guest Joan Bakewell stole the show (and no doubt surprised a few people) by breaking into a performance of pop terrorists Steps' hit song '5, 6, 7, 8'.
