+Thomas Dawson Yep same conclusions. Heavily exacerbating situational drama in those periods also. This sketch is deviantly layered I have to say.

+Chris Harden It is said they had to nail it to the wall to stop its escape attempts.

Yes, that's it, and they also make fun of television shows from the era, featuring spies who always had to very carefully explain the basics of espionage to each other so that the viewers could follow the plot.

Yeah, you can kind of see that. but Hue's is playing it too straight there's no indicator that he's trying to be deceitful, it's not funny unless someone is ignorant and the audience needs to know or see it otherwise it's just two guys talking...

That's interesting way to interpret the sketch.  I disagree though.  I think that the joke in the control and tony sketch is the juxtaposition of what they do with the overly exaggerated cheerful and simplistic way in which they communicate.

I'm not sure that you're right.  There are many different sketches featuring Control and Tony.  Each one uses the same simplistic and almost cheerful tone but each addresses some different aspect of their spy life.  The series of sketches eventually ends with Tony being laid off due to downsizing in the department.  Not revealed as a spy or anything, just... being fired.  BOTH are heart broken at the event.If I had to wager a guess, the actual joke here isn't that Laurie is a spy.  Instead it's poking fun at the popular Hollywood and fictional literature portrayal of the Cold War.  Instead of a cut throat world of secrets and daring espionage and secret codes, it's portrayed as simplistic, slow paced, and even charming.  There's one sketch where Control sees an enemy agent across the street with a telescope and solves the problem by calling him on the phone and asking him to leave (which the agent does.)

Hm. Somehow I thought they are both spies, and they try to convince each other that they are British, by speaking this way.

I didn't get that, but their unnecessary explanations about every single thing were quite funny.

+dewinthemorning I didn't get that either, and I've seen it at least four times :/

+Jamie Doesn't Care No, no, I was sincere! No need to apologize!Lol, we sound rather like a bit of Fry and Laurie now, don't we?

+dewinthemorning ah I didn't mean to make my comment sound like an insult to people that didn't understand it. Apologies to you and/or anyone who may think I did.

Oh, thank you. If you are right and that was the joke, I was rather thick 'cause I didn't get it. :)

Yeah, I was waiting for that. Or at least once one of them said smth wrong, the other would call security to lock him up.
