I seem to remember a TV show from the late 90s or early 2000s that was filmed entirely in Black and White. I am almost certain in was shown on BBC 2 in the early evenings. I think it was only 10 - 15 minutes long, but not entirely sure.
It had 3 main characters (2 men and 1 woman). I think it was a parady of very early television programmes from the 30s and 40s, which is why it was shown in black and white. I cannot remember hardly anything else about it.
I have had a look at some old tv listings from around that time, but had no luck. Can anyone else remember this programme?

Mr Cholmondley Warner!! (apparently that is how you spell... 'Chumley')
That was early 90s but was in black and white as well.
Oh yes, I remember that! I'd like to see that again.
Just googled it and I can't believe it was as long ago as 1989, finishing in 95.
I did think it could have been this, but it was later than 1995 when I saw it. I checked on an old TV archive sight and Ferdinand de Bargos was not repeated after 95. It was quite similar to this though, from what I can remember. It may actually have been an old show from the 40s or 50s that was repeated, rather than a parody. Maybe I am just imagining it?
Must be an American show then because it is ultra rare to see a UK TV show made in the 1940s or 1950s to be repeated or even exist.
Thanks for reminding me of this one!
