Hello Cheeky was a Sketch Show that ran on The BBC between 1973 and 1979. The main cast and scriptwriters were Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer and John Junkin, with supporting roles and piano accompaniment provided by Denis "Charmer" King.The format of the show was loose at best, as it was entirely focused on jokes. However, a typical episode would consist of twenty minutes' worth of quick sketches, puns, and jokes, with some novelty songs thrown in for good measure, and the last ten minutes would be taken up with an extended sketch, usually under the heading "Armpit Theatre presents..." Either that, or a series of Twisted Echo Cuts taken to their logical extreme by "playing three programmes at one and the same time", which resulted in jokes, puns, and Double Entendres as the dialogue in the programmes were cut together to form sentences.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In 1976, the show was adapted for television by the Yorkshire branch of ITV. More or less everyone agrees that no great steps were taken to make the material more visual. This version lasted for 13 episodes before fading away.Counting the twelve surviving episodes of the TV show and the five seasons of the radio show, coupled with three Christmas specials, more than 70 episodes were made, all-in-all.

Analogy Backfire: Not so much 'exposing another fact about an analogy' as 'exposing why it couldn't possibly work':Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Accidental Misnaming

comment
Accidental Misnaming: John casually referred to Barry as "Fatty", and Barry usually responded with "Baldy". In one episode, Barry calls him out on it, explaining that he's gone on a diet and is no longer fat — John complies, and calls him "Skinny" for the rest of the episode. In a stranger example, the gang would sometimes refer to each other casually, using names or nicknames that weren't theirs — for example "Vera", "Babs", "darling" and "George".
