Quotes

George Dent : What are you two doing in here?

Dave Charnley : Me and my friend are taking part in be a nosy git week.
Alex Pates : [reading document] Cuts will be radical and swift. Staff over 50 must be forced to take voluntary early retirement.

Henry Davenport : Don't be silly that doesn't apply to me!

Alex Pates : [quoting document again] This especially applies to newsreaders, who should be replaced by younger personnel on smaller salaries.

Dave Charnley : Right, everybody down into the shelter...

Henry Davenport : Isn't that bloody typical? They want to replace me with a colourless, pre-pubescent dullard. It's the spirit of the age. I blame... John Major. HOW DID HE BECOME PRIME MINISTER FOR GOD'S SAKE, THE MAN'S A BLOODY HOLOGRAM! BUT HE'S YOUNG! DULL AS AN AMOEBA'S ARSEHOLE, BUT HE'S YOUNG!
