    I watched the aforementioned video last night. I was in tears, floods
    of them, laughing at Lance singing very badly to "Who's That Girl",
    being taught how to sing it by Lee, failing again then:
    
    Lee: You're right, Lance, you are tone deaf
    Lance: Only in English, I can sing in Italian
    
    and then broke into a perfect, fluent version of "Figaro" - not the
    Brotherhood of Man song(!) but the one from an opera. It was obviously
    Paul Whitehouse singing it, obviously wasn't miming, so perhaps he's
    fluent in Italian, which means that he must have sung the Il Postino
    Pat song and also explains why he's so good as Julio Geordio (okay, I
    know he's meant to be Columbian but it explains to me how he can sound
    so convincing).
    
    The tape also includes the bits that went wrong - the outtakes. These
    are almost, if not more, funny than the correct sketches.
    
    Well worth buying if you're a HE & Chums fan.

Paul Whitehouse perfromed this on Harry Enfield's Guide To Opera in front
of someone who trains voices: apparently he hasn't got what it takes to be
a professional opera singer but would be OK in musicals.

    I watched the new series for the 1st time this week, thought it was
    great, haven't laughed so much in ages!

    I think the series has finished now?  Its been the best thing on tv
    recently...Kevins 'growing up' last week had me in tears of laughter...
