  • Jim Sweeney (Comedian)
    Jim Sweeney (Comedian) Jim Sweeney Born Michael James Dominic Sweeney 7 February 1955 (age 63) Bournemouth, England Residence Wimbledon, London, England Nationality English Occupation Actor, comedian Children 2 Michael James Dominic Sweeney (born 7 February 1955; Bournemouth, England) is an English actor and comedian, best known for his improvisation partnership with Steve Steen. When Sweeney was 11 years old, he moved to London with his parents, along with two brothers and a sister. He became interested in theatre and improvisation while attending Clapham College, an all-boys Roman Catholic school. Sweeney spent the 1970s in theatre productions, creating and touring shows with Steen, who was a friend from school. The pairing's first television work as a duo came on the ITV children's show CBTV, followed by the Channel 4 comedy Little Armadillos and resident support comic slots on Rory Bremner's first sketch show for the BBC. In 1987, Sweeney played Samuel Taylor Coleridge in an episode of Blackadder the Third, with Steve Steen alongside him as Lord Byron. He also starred as "The Head" in the first season of Art Attack in 1990. He then appeared in commercials and radio comedies before acquiring a semi-regular slot as a contestant on the Channel 4 improvisation show Whose Line Is It Anyway? from 1991 to 1993. Comedy partner Steen would later join him frequently in these appearances. Sweeney has been in a number of radio plays and sitcoms, including a lead role in Any Bloke alongside Caroline Quentin and Steve Steen. He adapted his award-winning play Danny's Wake into a radio series All The Young Dudes in which he (and Steen) co-starred.

  • STEVE STEEN STEVE STEEN Began His Career at the Oval House Theatre Club in 1972 with His Lifelong Friend and Working Partner
    STEVE STEEN STEVE STEEN began his career at the Oval House Theatre Club in 1972 with his lifelong friend and working partner Jim Sweeney, basically doing shows that sent up all the other shows they had seen that year, a cheap stunt that paid dividends later. He began in earnest the following year forming his own theatre company with Mr Sweeney, they were called the Wee Wees, don't ask, no do.. it'll kill a minute or two. He performed as one of the Baron's minions in a show called 'A Feast of Fools', with such luminaries as Pierce Brosnan and John Ratzenberger, who he? He’s Cliff the postman in 'Cheers'! This transferred to the Roundhouse for a successful London run. He continued his work at the Oval House theatre, squeezing in a couple of Shakespeare productions with chums like Tim Roth, where is he now, eh? He then toured all over the country, pausing to play the Edinburgh Festival, Arts Theatre London, Soho Poly, Jeanette Cochrane Theatre, before taking the ferry to tour Europe, including several Festivals of Fools around Holland, Denmark, Germany and Greece. Steve then returned to perform at the Royal Court in Nigel Williams 'Just A Little Bit Less Than Normal', in 1976, and 'City Sugar' by Steven Poliakoff in 1977. After kicking around Europe, he kicked around England again in the ITV Playhouse production 'It's Only A Game', directed by Les Blair, based on the book by Irish International footballer Eamon Dunphy. It was inevitable that following these performances a spell in prison would beckon, and in 1979 he was duly banged up in 'Porridge' the film spin-off from the TV series.

Lähtökohtana on, että osaa strategioista voidaan käyttää reaalioiden kulttuurisen erilaisuuden korostamiseen, osaa taas tämän erilaisuuden häivyttämiseen. Nämä kaksi kategoriaa eivät kuitenkaan kata kaikkia mahdollisia strategioita, minkä vuoksi myös neutraalit strategiat otetaan tutkielmassa huomioon. Tutkielman aineisto koostuu Suomessa nimillä Ruuvit löysällä ja Pikku-Britannia tunnettujen brittiläisten sketsisarjojen DVD-julkaisuista. Molemmat tutkituista julkaisuista käsittävät yhden tuotantokauden. Formaatiltaan sketsisarjat perustuvat lukuisiin lyhyisiin kohtauksiin, joissa käsitellään useita eri aihealueita. Tämän vuoksi ne soveltuvat erinomaisesti reaalioiden
