The premise

Here’s the bit.

Biffy and Spud, two RAF pilots who speak entirely in modern youth/chav slang, have spent two years supposedly cracking the Enigma Code. When called to deliver results, they reveal that Hitler has personally been sending messages commenting on their war efforts — much to the pilots' delight. The sketch satirises WWII heroism by juxtaposing 1940s RAF culture with contemporary street slang.

Say it with us

Epic war fail

Detail I'd never noticed before: the pilots have risen in rank over the seasons...from Flight Lieutenant to Group Captain

I've got bone spurs and I'm not even lying!

Behind the scenes

The people who made it.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The RAF Pilots sketch is the show's most iconic recurring segment, appearing across all 3 series. The pilots speak entirely in contemporary youth/chav slang despite being WWII airmen. Their ranks visibly increased each series as they outlived peers by avoiding flying. BBC programme page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wswb4

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
