In a two-minute scrap of what looks like British sketch comedy I found on disc 599 in my classic collection, three women present young medieval characters. The only names I caught were Guinevere and Morgana, and they reference a friend of theirs, Juliet, whom Guinevere said is just so stuck up and full of herself she wishes she'd just throw herself off that balcony already.
Guinevere admires Morgana's tall pointy hat with the stocking trailing from it, and she says "Oh, do you like it? It's my damsel in distress look. Check this out: 'Help! Help!' Isn't it great?" She got it at "Ye Olde Spotsy Girle."
Guinevere asks "What do you think about Madonna?" and pulls out an icon featuring Mary and Jesus. The other, heavier-set young woman is into music. She's got a lute and is planning to go to the Chaucer concert, drawbridge up at 9 p.m. There's a poster on the wall advertising "Prince."Immediately before this sketch was a second or so of one set in a garret bedroom where one of the blonde actors in floofy pink pajamas sits on one bed with a set of bongos while the other two face her, sitting on the other bed. I grabbed two pics from that, below.
Adding a bit more by way of context, this sketch was recorded after the "Grey's Anatomy" fourth season finale in May of 2008 on ABC and the SciFi rebroadcast of Steven Moffat's "Doctor Who" episode "The Girl in the Fireplace," which of necessity aired sometime after October of 2006.Everything I recorded was from DVR at that point and reruns abound so the sketch could've been produced any time since the advent of color television, but the Madonna and Prince references would seem to narrow it to the mid-1980s at the earliest.
If any of this sounds familiar or if you recognize any of these scenes or actors, I'd appreciate the help. Please contact me at tjaman1970@yahoo.com. Thanks!
