Great to see the first ever Pokefight in full. Ant and Dec tell a great story in their book (and in the SMTV documentary) about how nobody in the crew understood Pokemon or got the joke, meaning the sketch completely bombed in rehearsals and, prior to going on air with it, the people behind the cameras shouted "YOU'RE GONNA DIE" while counting them in. It's definitely rough around the edges, and you can see the nerves in their faces, but give it a few weeks and it'll become the sketch we all know and love. Thanks again for your wonderful uploads, they are much appreciated!

Do you have any stuff through 1998-1999 or do you just have 1999-2000 or 1999-2001 or something?

This was the Pokémon sketch where Ant and Dec had no idea about what to do or how to make it funny enough
