What's the deal, Fosters?

The Fast Show is back, and Fosters are picking up the tab, which is good of them. Again. The question is, why are they doing it? Surely their motives for resurrecting our favourite comedies can't be completely altruistic. First Partridge, then Vic and Bob (admittedly they never really went away) and now The Fast Show. Why? It can't be selling that many more beers? WHAT DO YOU WANT, FOSTERS? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING, YOU SHITS?

Incidentally, before you all start accusing us of selling out (again) it's not even like we want them to send us any of their beer, just answers. We're genuinely curious.

Anyway. 

The pics above are from the premiere of the new online series of The Fast Show (which apparently starts next Thursday, the 10th), and because they're a bit tedious, we thought we'd just list our 10 favourite characters from the show instead. Oh, how we laughed. Unfortunately, we then realised there were only about 15 characters in total, and being in the top 75 percent isn't exactly an award. In fact it's pretty much the equivalent of getting a low F in Sports Science at school. So we chose a top five instead. That's a B in Geography.

1) Ted and Ralph

2) The drunk family

3) Competitive dad

4) Rowley Birkin QC

5) Billy Bleach
