Meh
Nothing is as good as it used to be. We should get Stuart Maconie et al to do some talking heads for a nostalgia show about what /ot used to be like "back in the day".
Actually I think we are long overdue for someone to go nuts, have a major breakdown on here and start flinging their faeces around.
Failing that, bring back Bert.

Peter Kaye's your man for nostalgia.
He's really good at remembering things, according to Rufus Hound.

Reeves & Mortimer's pisstake of him was inspired.

He doesn't seem to be well respected in comedic circles, does he?

If he'd have died after series two of Phoenix Nights I would regard him as a genius.
It's clear from his later stuff and execrable Cannon-and-Ball style standup that he desperately need the darker edge that 'Ray Von' and 'Jerreh' must have contributed. Phoenix Nights is genuinely hilarious, though, in my opinion, and stands up to repeated viewing.

Thank Dave Spikey for that, surely?

He is an unfunny cunt of the highest order.
I have seen his stand up a couple of times and he died on his arse.

Seems the co-writing team for Phoenix Nights functioned well together though.

Bit like STAY-SHUN out of the second Bill & Ted.

Some of those are excellent.
