Harry Enfield and Chums is a British sketch comedy show produced by Tiger Aspect Productions that aired from 1994-1999 on BBC One. The show stars Harry Enfield, along with his regular co-stars Kathy Burke and Paul Whitehouse, who play a variety of different characters in each episode. The show became enormously popular during its five-year run, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential sketch comedy shows of all time.

The show is divided into several different segments, each featuring a different set of characters and sketches. One of the show's most iconic segments features Enfield as "Loadsamoney," a crass, money-obsessed Londoner who became a cultural icon in the UK during the 1980s. Another popular segment features Burke and Whitehouse as "Wayne and Waynetta Slob," a working-class couple who embody every negative stereotype about the British underclass.

In addition to these recurring characters, the show also features a wide array of one-off sketches and characters, ranging from political figures like Margaret Thatcher and John Major to pop culture icons like Madonna and Michael Jackson. The show's humor is irreverent, absurdist, and often politically incorrect, but it is also incredibly witty and well-written.

Despite its often controversial subject matter, Harry Enfield and Chums was a huge hit with audiences, and is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential sketch comedy shows of the 1990s. Its legacy can be seen in the work of other comedians and shows that followed in its wake, and it remains a beloved classic of British television comedy to this day.
