Sketch
Lou Todd (Walliams) spends most of his free time helping his friend Andy Pipken (Lucas) and taking him to places in a wheelchair which, unknown to Lou, Andy has no need for. The sketches normally have one of two basic structures. One features Lou turning his back on Andy for a moment and Andy stepping out of his wheelchair to do something very quickly such as diving into a pool. Sometimes the sketch will end here and sometimes Andy will return to his wheelchair before Lou turns back, often Lou will be puzzled by something that has changed as a result of what Andy has been doing, such as Andy being wet, but never thinks anything of this. The other structure features Andy making an arbitrary and apparently thoughtless random decision by giving his catchphrase "I want that one", often without even a look at the item in question. Lou normally tries to persuade him to change his mind, often by reminding him of something he has said in the past (in a flowery vocabulary never used by Andy on camera), to which Andy will always reply "Yeah I know" but will remain steadfast in his decision. Lou will eventually concede to Andy's decision with a lispy "Are you sure" only to have Andy change his mind at the most inopportune moment, usually with another of catchphrases "I don't like it".
The characters of Lou and Andy are derived from a sketch on Rock Profile, which featured fictitious versions of Lou Reed and Andy Warhol. Rock Profile was a British television comedy show written by and starring comedy partnership Matt Lucas and David Walliams (both now Lewis Allan Reed (born March 2 1942 is an American rock Singer-songwriter and Guitarist. For the song by David Bowie, see Andy Warhol (song. Andrew Warhola (August 6 1928 &ndash February 22 1987 known as Andy Warhol In the second series, Andy's antisocial behaviour is somewhat amplified (previously the main joke had revolved around him choosing something and then claiming he does not want it or wanted something else) with some of his actions displaying a complete disregard for others, for instance, wiping the contents of his nose on the trousers of a passer-by, or stating that he does not like a woman he is blind-dating because "she's in a wheelchair". Lou also uses the term "kerfuffle" to refer to sticky situations or problems they might face.
In some of the sketches, Andy lives in a dilapidated council house in the fictional city of Herby - the name being derived from the car in the Disney children's film of the same name. The council house is a form of public or social housing in the United Kingdom. Herbie (born 1963 in Wolfsburg, Germany) is a fictional character an anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle, which is featured in several Disney The house shots are filmed at the Cranbrook Estate in Bethnal Green. Bethnal Green is an area in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. Andy buys a snake in Magri's pets (although in the sketch, the sign has been replaced with one reading "Pets and That"), a real life pet shop and buys a birthday card from a newsagents very close to Victoria Park, which may also be where the park shots are filmed. Victoria Park (or 'Vicky' Park as locally known is a large open space that stretches out across part of the East End of London, England bordering parts of Bethnal
Series three final sketches
In the final episode of the series, broadcast on Christmas Eve 2005, the story of Lou and Andy played out over a number of sketches. Christmas Eve, December 24, is the day before Christmas Day, the celebrated birthday of Jesus. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. In the story, Lou's mother has just died, so Lou has to go back to the Isle of Wight for a few days to take care of his father and sort out the funeral arrangements (to which Andy shows his usual uncaring manner while also watching Balamory), leaving Andy with a temporary carer, Mrs Mead (played by Imelda Staunton). The Isle of Wight is an English Island and county in the English Channel between three and five miles (8 km from the south coast of the Balamory is a Live action Television series on British television ( BBC One, BBC Two and CBeebies) for Preschool Imelda Mary Philomena Bernadette Staunton, OBE, (born January 9 1956) is an English actress best known for her performances in the Lou reckons she will be a very nice lady but she turns out to be a rather strict and religious Irish woman who turns off his TV, makes him help clean the house, hits his legs with a candlestick holder to make sure he really is disabled (which, since he can walk, really hurts him, although he manages to keep a straight and emotionless face (albeit with a slight flicker of pain in his voice she doesn't detect) until she leaves before yelling "Ow, Oww OWWWW!" in pain), gives him some stew and fruit for dinner that he barely touches, sings religious songs loudly (which she says is a better method of entertainment than television) and prays. Ireland (pronounced /ˈaɾlənd/ Éire) is the third largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world His antics do not work on her like they worked with Lou.
While out on a long walk near some cliffs, Mrs Mead begins to talk about how she is going to instill major changes in Andy's life which include Andy cooking, cleaning, looking after himself, stop watching TV, eating healthily and getting a job. In Geography and Geology, a cliff is a significant vertical or near vertical rock exposure Andy finally has enough, rises from his wheelchair, sneaks up behind her, pushes her over the cliff and returns home.
Lou finally returns with Andy running to welcome him home (Andy saying "Lou!" excitedly), however Andy quickly sits back down realising what he was about to do and then Lou begins to make Andy's dinner. Andy makes out he does not care, but is secretly delighted that Lou has returned and everything is normal again. This shows he genuinely views Lou as a friend and not just a servant or slave, or it could show that he is just delighted to get his slave back.
Andy's behaviour
Requests
- To go to the expensive Royal Opera House for his birthday. WikipediaWikiProject Opera --> The Royal Opera House is an Opera house and major performing Once there, he shouts "I don't like it!" once the performance starts.
- To wear a Smurf costume to dinner at a "smart restaurant" (Lou's words). The Smurfs ( Les Schtroumpfs) are a fictional group of small Sky blue creatures who live in Smurf Village somewhere in the woods In the sketch, the restaurant appears to be a Chinese one. Once there, wearing a smurf hat and painted completely blue, Andy declares that he "Looks a pillock", and asks the waiter "You do crisps?".
- To have an empty ice cream cone, without any ice cream in it ("What, no Whippy?", "No, Just a cone"). Soon after his request is granted he announces that he does want ice cream after all, by saying "I want a Whippy!" Lou goes back to the ice cream van in annoyance and gets him a double helping of the ice cream.
- To see Pride and Prejudice instead of the simpler forms of entertainments such as action movies he usually prefers. Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, is the most famous of Jane Austen 's novels and one of the first " romantic Lou suggests he gets two, in case he doesn't like it, but Andy insists he wants Pride and Prejudice. When it is switched on, he says "I don't like it. " Lou apologises to Andy and leaves to visit a woman named Maria ("you can expect me back around six"). As soon as he's gone, Andy ejects the video and replaces it with a Monster Trucks video.
- To specifically not go to the toilet before getting into Lou's van, (a rusty white E-reg Ford Escort van) after he drank four pints of beer in a bar. Over the years the name 'Ford Escort' has been used for several models He needs to go to the toilet as soon as he is in the van.

- To take three books out of the library; two identical ones about Chinese history, and one about Chinese language and its origins, despite Lou's suggestion of Stig of the Dump. Stig of the Dump is a children's novel by Clive King written in 1963. He later voids his original, somewhat spurious request once out of the library by stating that he "can't read" (This would make him illiterate, although he has been seen reading an extract from the Bible in series 2). Etymology According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word bible is from Latin biblia, traced from the same word through Medieval Latin and Late Latin Lou goes back into the library in annoyance to return the books. This is one of the few occasions in which, had he gone with Lou's suggestion, his final statement still would've made his decision void.
- To buy a card with the text "With deepest sympathy. . . " for his brother Declan's birthday instead of the more usual birthday card. Leaving the shop with the card, Andy says "It's his birthday! He's not dead!" and throws the card away. An annoyed Lou lets go of Andy's wheelchair when this happens.
- To go on holiday in Helsinki, Finland ("I wanna go to Helsinki"). Helsinki (in Finnish;) or Helsingfors (in Swedish;) is the Capital and largest city of Finland. Finland, officially the Republic of Finland ( is a Nordic country situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe. despite Lou's collection of colourful brochures, suggestions for other more preferable destinations and Andy's previous statement of not liking Finland. We then see the plane taking off with Andy voicing over, "I wanna go to Florida".
- To have a dark chocolate from a box of chocolates that Lou had bought for a visit for Andy's former caretaker, Maria. He says "I don't like it" when he eats it and asks for another "just to take the taste away. " When Lou leaves, he climbs onto a stool and takes the box of chocolates off the shelf.
- To have his room painted red from top to bottom, instead of the blue Lou thought he preferred. A room, in Architecture, is any distinguishable space within a structure Paint is any Liquid, liquifiable or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin layer is converted to an opaque Solid Red is any of a number of similar Colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths of Light discernible by the human eye in the wavelength Blue is a Colour, the Perception of which is evoked by As soon as his room is painted red, he asks for blue, to Lou's annoyance.
- To have a new wheelchair, which he promptly rejects when Lou brings it home by toppling it over.
- To have all his old items, such as books and board games, that he does not use anymore, put on a bonfire and burned up. Of course, once the fire is properly burning, Andy says "I want me stuff back". Lou hastily tries to extinguish the fire.
- To go to the church dressed up as a baby Jesus, including crib. Once there, Andy is apparently scheduled to do a reading. He pauses after a few sentences, saying "I look a pillock".
- To go to France, although he previously requested to go to Chessington World of Adventures. This article is about the country For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic France topics. Chessington World of Adventures is a theme park and Zoo in south-west London, England. Once in France (this section was adjacent to the Eiffel Tower), he then declares that he "Wanna go Chessington". The Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel /tuʀ ɛfɛl/ is an Iron Tower built Lou hastily doubles back.

- To have a breast enlargement operation ("Summin' to play with") after reading a pornographic magazine. On exiting the hospital, he says "I look a pillock". An annoyed Lou doubles back and returns to the hospital
- To have George Michael as a guest at his birthday party instead of personal family, like his brother Declan. Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (Γεώργιος Κυριάκος Παναγιώτου (born 25 June 1963 best known as George Michael, is a two-time Grammy Award winning When George arrives and tries to greet Andy, he declares "Don't like him. Prefer Tony Hadley. Tony Hadley (born Anthony Patrick Hadley 2 June 1960, Islington, London) is an English pop Singer " After apologising to George for Andy's behaviour, George leaves the restaurant with Lou, with Andy telling Lou to tell George of one of his opinions (which was told to him by Lou (see below)).
- To have lots of boiled rice, pilau rice, lemon rice, and coconut rice from the Indian takeaway. As soon as Lou puts all the rice on the plate Andy says "I don't like rice". Lou then proceeds to hit his head against the wall, out of Andy's sight in annoyance. (Series 3 Deleted Scene)
- To have a tattoo on his face (of a spider web). Once the tattooist is finished Andy says "I regret it deeply," instead of "I don't like it. " (Series 3 Deleted Scene)
Apparent Opinions
These opinions are usually voiced by Lou as if Andy had said them previously. The amusement comes when the statement is usually very profound and intellectual (which the viewer would not expect someone of Andy's intelligence to give) in an eloquent style, in contrast to his normal, ungrammatical speech. The even larger amusement comes from the fact that, the more complex and eloquent the statement, the more Andy resents Lou's "paraphrasin'" him.
