And we've just heard that in the English Channel, a ship carrying red paint has collided with a ship carrying purple paint. It is believed that both crews have been marooned.

I spent years trying to get hold of the theme music from The Worm That Turned
and I fucking did it. It was originally the theme from The Hanged Man which was a TV show in the 60s, fact fans.

Fucking terrible.
The Mary Whitehouse Experience = a load of middle class Oxbridge wankers trying to be all edgy & cool.

Give me Tommy Cooper, Ronnie Barker, Frankie Howard, etc. anyday.

Bob Monkhouse's standup was really good

Until I saw him do "An Audience with"

there's a fascinating 'secret life of bob monkhouse' documentary which is well worth tracking down
He was an obsessive archivist and had a treasure trove of otherwise-lost stuff apparently, thousands of hours of it
