Smashie & Nicey: The End of an Era (w/ Ricardo Autobahn & Rob Gilroy)
On the 17th Sep 25, an event happened of such earth-shattering proportions that it would shatter the earth to its very core. Yes, BritCom goes to the Movies, did a Smashie and Nicey: End of an Era mid-season special.
Harry Enfield's beloved characters (well, not by Radio 1 DJs) were to be retired after a changing of the guard at the BBC's flagship music station rendered their very specific brand of satire almost irrelevant. Some of these new DJs coming through the door at the broadcasting house were so young they were still in their thirties. But messers Smash and Nice wouldn't go out without a fight, and what transpired was one of the greatest stand-alone pieces of British television comedy history.
Using the Matthew Bannister-led cull of out-of-touch disc jockeys as a backdrop, End of an Era recounted the history of Smashie and Nicey's careers, poking fun at just about every real-life radio presenter ever to take the mic in the UK up to that point in the process.
Joining Rob and Guy for this cultural high point, culturally-wise, in an English cultural high point sense, are two of the most popmongous former guests of the BritCom Goes to the Movies back catalogue and huge Smashie and Nicey fans, Rob Gilroy and Ricardo Autobahn. It promises to be Good. Clean. Family. Fun.
