I think it's great when older people give it a go. None of it's difficult, let's face it. Some of them just fear new things I suppose. My Nan's had a mobile for ages now, and she's nearly 80.

No, nothing professional.
If you're aware of the 'Janet and John' things that Wogan does, it was sort of the forerunner to them.
Wogan used to rely very heavily on his listeners to provide the material for the show, and mr b3th was one of the most prolific. Some of the recordings of the 'gang' pissing themselves with laughter and not being able to get through the whole sketch are classic.
