I consider them the classic lineup

I always supported Emlyn.

Willie Carson deserves an honourable mention.

I wonder if she'll have the same annoying laugh, which I seem to remember had been lost or toned down by the 90s.

I guess "risqué" is too much of a risk these days.

I'm glad I have a lot of episodes on DVD. Although a handful of those had been edited for music copyright.

Back in the days (not that long ago) when the likes of Anne Robinson and Jeremy Clarkson could say almost anything and were actually appreciated for it. But I'm not sure Channel 4 2021 will be the right home for her. She'll probably be hounded out by young activists before she's even started.

Steve Coogan to play Jimmy Savile in BBC One drama

The Reckoning, a mini-series, will tell the story of the presenter's rise and the sexual abuse scandal that emerged after his death.

The BBC said the team behind the drama had worked closely with those impacted by Savile to ensure their stories were told with "sensitivity and respect".

Coogan said he had not taken the decision to play Savile "lightly".

I can actually imagine Steve Coogan saying "Now then, now then". :happy :

He used to, back on Spitting Image.
