- Ricky Grovers superb character 'Bulla', in a rare fleeting bit of 90s TV footage from the sketch(y) series 'Comedy Nation', which I used to watch out of boredom. Glad I did, as I caught this priceless set of sketches.
Parkinson is superb and plays it as if for real.
At the end is an early telly appearance on the same show from Mitchell & Webb, who, as we all know, got considerably better.
I don't own the copyright, blah, blah....
It sure is a gem. Ricky Grover is such an under-rated comedian! Thanks for sharing 😂
"I always remember something that my old Grandad used to say to Ronnie and Reggie - 'ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!" 😂
This character was and is genius. Wish someone had taken a proper chance on Grover as I love him to bits.
BigSeany1979 he’s just been on radio London. Trying to find his new RUclips Bulla channel.
Big fat gypsy Gangster
I watch this at least once a week, great character, a lovely guy too.
Johnny Vaughan did, when he became the Uk's highest paid TV star, and attempted to break into sitcoms.
Even when the critics savaged ''Orrible', they praised Grover for his performance, and berated Vaughan even more, for wasting his talents.
@@Paddy.C I think orrible is fuckin brilliant... it must be ok Cos I don't usually watch shit.
parkinson held on like a pro, that bit where he said he clumped someone with an ashtray fucking killed me, bulla/ricky grover is quality
Thanks for this John, different gear.
love you ricky, so so underated
“There is times in life where you have to bat and bowl” - classic response 😂😂😂😂
Your putting it on me! I fcking loved that. Michael didn't know when he was being serious or having a giggle. Proper bulla
Ricky Grover is brilliant! :D
He could have been another here today, gone tomorrow stand-up but he created and developed the Bulla character to make it truly his own. “I’m a lovely guy …”
I've still got this and all the comedy nations on vhs ,Love it
Absolute Gold...
Just brilliant
That Mitchell and Webb bit was so like Fry and Laurie that it must have been a tribute.
Bring Back Buller And Make Britain Great Again!
Comedy gold!!! 🎉😂
I met him about ten years ago (I was playing in Bad Manners would you believe?😆) and he turned up to a gig to interview Buster about obesity, he was filming for a section of Trevor McDonalds programme, forget the name. One of those probing report things. Mentioned that I had a small group of friends who are obsessed with this footage, we usually tell each other to 'go back to the sand' if one of us requires a put down. He was really chuffed, such a sweet fella.
Hi John, I was wondering if you could possibly send me an email on -
channel8t8@gmail.com I'd love to talk to you about the footage from the episode of Comedy Nation of Bulla & Parky. We just uploaded an episode on our channel too.
@@channel8t8archive hello! So sorry just seen this, have emailed you, speak soon
Ricky is a true star
i used to gig around london and i met loads of these characters
When the camera was on Ricky, you could hear MP sniggering and laughing.
Ricky is a TOPMAN!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Canning Town's finest...he knew all the faces..Bill the Bomb etc
He had a bulldog called Bronson
Brilliant man. Love and peace ✌🇬🇧🏳️🌈🏴✌🙏
Pair of diamonds.
Saying that's me and love ya all the time is spot on with these supposed hard nuts
There’s only one Bulla!!! 😮.. if your wise.. you won’t mess with him..he’ll help an old lady cross the road.. he’s kind to his mum..😊… but when he loses it..Zoom Zoom.. a left and a right.. and it’s good night!!!..Hell have a whisper in your ear!! Kenny!!!!! 😮..😂😂😂😂 we need Bulla Back.. he’s a lovely guy!!!!!
He would swim the channel with a barge on his back just to buy an old dear a big of cheese 🧀 think about that for a minute 🙂
I remember sadam when he used to be a mini cab driver on the old Kent road
He reminds me of Ray winstone in nil by mouth
He's a nice guy, but very, very naughty.
Psionikman 😆👍 'I need this! I said no screws'
I say, to me, send Lionel Blair over there!
To be honest initially I took this at face value as I wasn't aware it was a skit. Lol 😂
AAAAARGH!!!
Ashgan84 Claret everywhere...
Look up the story of him giving Josh Widdicombe a lift home from a gig. I won’t repeat it here because obviously it’s so much funnier when Josh tells it.
Can't find one :/ you got a link?
@@JohnDoe-dx7bu it was on the television show that Alan Davies did called ‘As Yet Untitled’ where Josh was a guest. Haven’t found a link yet but I’ll post one if I do.
@@CycolacFan thanks for a decent reply, usually you get "find it yourself". Genuinely is nice to receive a decent reply. Thanks
@@JohnDoe-dx7bu thank you. I’m now even more determined to find it 😄
So funny.
He was over Cheshunt Park walking his black Russian terrier, didn't know who the bloke was, but he seemed like a nice enough bloke, but he has made his money now and moved somewhere better
Barking mad …
@@LANCSKID Nice bloke, wow 3 years ago eh, I bet a Little Chef waitress moves faster then you. Is that even possible ?
@@aleccap5946 Barking mad refers to a TV advert Ricky did a while back with a dog tucked under his arm, but then … you knew that. Are there any Little Chef waitresses left? I had an affair once with one … her honey and mustard relish was really quite something …🥸
@@LANCSKID 3 years refers to the ridiculous slow time it took yoy to respond 🙄
@@aleccap5946 Only just come to the Bulla content on YT. There are two versions of the Parkinson interview time length wise. Yoy?
'Saddam, go back to the sand.'
You know it was just a random guy who looked like him
Why do random scenes from another program keep cutting in?
Because it was a bbc 2 sketch show and the whole bulla interview was chopped up into 1.5 or 2 minute section over a 30 min episode
Hi Steven, sorry it’s just lazy editing, I did it on my dvd recorded I think, straight off the vhs then copied it on my laptop using MPEG Squareclip, could have been a bit smoother but couldn’t be bothered, I’m not a professional AV technician, just a sax player! 😅
And as Adz mentions, those bits are from the same show. I’d like to think the whole programme was dedicated to Bulla sketches but alas they aren’t.
@@johnoneill5884 Do you know who the girl with the tight curly hair is? And what was the sketch show?
I’ll answer my own question … it is Tracy Ann Oberman and the show is Comedy Nation.
Nice video mate, I've never seen that before...that was a young Michell and Webb.
Knew Ricky from the Tom Allen days.
He was saying that. 😄🤭😅
KENNY!!!!
This interview, I'm sure most of it was ad-libbed, it could have been alot longer too. Ricky and MP could have got a good 30 mins from this. Shame it didn't pan out this way.😢
sadam's a lovely fella but he can get a bit saucy
The truth about Rod Hull at last.
He sounds the double of ronnie kray 😂
Zoom
I love Ricky Grover but that Mitchell and Webb bit in this was so shite lol
Bulla should have been bigger
Redcoat 😁
KENNY.
He's only down the wing...
🤭😄🤪
Your name deserves a like. That is funny 😂
“Understand what I’m saying?” Nope
😂😂😂 exactly, vague violence 😂😂😂
Dya understand worram seyin
I was going to share this and for a laugh say it was my favourite Parkinson interview. But then for some reason it has these stupid interruptions in it of clips not remotely connected to it???
Hello.
I’m the person who posted this video, so I might offer an explanation if I may?
These clips are edited down from an episode of a show called ‘Comedy Nation’ which wasn’t great, despite featuring some great actors such as Ricky, Tracy Ann Oberman, etc. I didn’t bother trimming the clips preceding or after the Bulla segments to make sure I definitely didn’t lose any of Ricky’s work. Plus it serves as a reminder of the superiority of his sketches over the rest of the show, including the very early example of Mitchell & Webb at the end, who, as I’m sure we all know, upped their game after this to become amongst the countries top comedy writer/performer teams. I’m not here to entertain, this is pure documentation of a piece of very underrated work.
@@johnoneill5884
Thank you for the explanation John AND for uploading it!
I was wondering the exact same thing and I thought the uploader must be a nut job who’s having a laugh because it is so bizarre.
Thanks again🙏
Tv back then would never be aloud today.
i guess you have never watched 'It's always sunny'
it was always noisy
1st sentence saying pansy....banned
didnt quite hit the mark imo..banter wasnt sharp enough
Needed canned laughter.
exactly, Ricky fluffed his opening bit and didn't seem well prepared. Still a few good moments though!
