S Easter Special 1999
The nineties crime drama Silent Witness made it into the repertoire, becoming Witless Silence. Jennifer Saunders took the part of the forensic pathologist made famous by Amanda Burton and performed with understated relish. All the ingredients were there: the despondent shrug, that ponderous stare and, since Burton is from the Emerald Isle, the obligatory, "Har are yer?" But despite her skill in the morgue, our heroine can never quite manage to get her relationships together, despite those smugly arched eyebrows.
While in the mood for bringing down giants it makes sense to go the whole hog, and next in French & Saunders' sights is the mighty Boyzone. A short, sharp shockingly funny Mickey-take out of the boy band that grew up. Perfect in their roles were Dawn as down-at-heel Steven Gately and Jennifer as frontman Ronan Keating. Together, much as in the real thing, these two singers make up the five-piece band.
Alanis Morrisette - a respected artist whose music is memorable and poignant. An ideal candidate, then, for treatment by Jennifer Saunders, although this time as Aimless Morris Minor singing Bless You (formerly Thank You). The said treatment is to remedy over-dependence on a thesaurus.
Our spring concert closes with Dawn French (herself born in Holyhead, North Wales) masquerading as Catatonia-cum-Catantonic frontwoman and First Lady of Welsh pop, Cerys Mathews. Not only back to her roots but back to the local pub belting out Cymru Pride in a smoke filled, disco-lit bar. An altogether different kind of Welsh Assembly.
