I remember somewhere Frown saying that Stanhope's Beer Hall Putsch special isn't funny. I heartily disagree but I assume he was talking about the football player rape scene closer because that is assertively unfunny. Not because of the subject matter but it's just a failure of a bit that should be an all time classic. The story telling is on point so you're just waiting for the joke to destroy but it continually delivers nothing. And as that is the set piece of the special I can understand it wiping the memory of the rest of thw special.
