Funniest thing ever?

Whilst possibly not the funniest thing ever, but certainly the funniest thing that I've seen in a long time - tonight we watched 'The Secret Policeman's Ball, which we recorded a few days ago on Sky+. One advantage of Sky+ is that you can watch at speeds of up to x30, stopping and viewing only those bits that look as though they'll be worth watching. We didn't stop often, but thankfully we did stop at the bit where David Armand did his brilliant mime routine in which he acts out all the lines from Natalie Imbruglia’s song Torn. This in itself was fantastic, but when Imbruglia herself came on — first just to sing, then to join in the mime — it got even better, and must have stolen the show.

Sadly the overall effect (and quality) isn't quite as good in the attached clips, but this is still my prescription for anyone feeling depressed - watch it, learn it, mime it - NOW!
