Bremner, Bird and FortuneSeason 142008 · 4 episodesEpisodes1Where Did All The Money Go?The two Johns use their "George Parr" sketch to explain the mindset of investment bankers "Everybody asking all sort of difficult questions...nit-picking like 'Where the money gone?'... as if I'm supposed to know," "Stupidity and incompetance...that's something we can be very proud of" and there is even a sketch based around the South Sea Bubble, showing how little we had learnt since the early 1700's. Rory Bremner spoofed Gordon Brown, Robert Peston, Dr Rowan Williams, and George Bush, and he has some good lines in his standup (or desk-bound) comedy, laughing at bankers around the globe while explaining the insanity of it all: "Stan O'Neil left Merrill Lynch with a heavy heart, but a heavier wallet." "I happen to know the White House is going to be repossessed any day now." There are apt comparisons with 1929 and the cautious 1950's as well.2The China Syndrome3Till Debt Do Us Part4A Modest ProposalThe final part of the satirical series in which the trio have played the current financial crisis for laughs, but have also conducted a crash course on the head-in-the-sand mindset of the world’s highest-paid bankers as they traded in large amounts of debt.Season 1Season 2Season 3Season 4Season 5Season 6Season 7Season 8Season 9Season 10Season 11Season 12Season 13Season 15Season 16
