Page "French and Saunders" Paragraph 9

The show also featured meta references: an awareness that the viewer was actually watching a parody.

Unlike many parodies that are done in a straightforward manner for effect, French and Saunders uses the viewer's awareness of what is going on to further stretch out the joke.

In their parody of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, an encounter by Frodo and Galadriel is thrown off when Saunders delivers her line: " I have passed the test, and now I will diminish, and go to the West and remain Galadriel ", to which French responds: " You will what, sorry?

" and Saunders replies: " I will diminish ...

I don't understand, it's in the book.

" Other characters that make a recurring appearance are the bald, fat, perverted old men (" Begging for it, she is!

"); Star Test ( most memorable character is Sonia, played by French ); and Out and About (" I bet she dos tricks ").

The love child named Jean is a prominent feature in many of their sketches.
