Election Night got to run it close.

Live TV don't you just love.

David Dimbleby goes over to a minor correspondent in some minor ward for a result..........correspondent stares blankly at screen cos he can't hear Dimbleby..........fiddles with ear cos a director is shouting in his ear.

Switches back to a dumbfonded Dimbleby who now looks like a rabbit caught in some car headlights........& stumbles everywhere.

You have to laugh!!

it was 75?

[Wink Wink]

What was 75 steve?

[magoo]

Pheonix Nights, The Office, Brass Eye, I am Alan Partridge, The Young Ones. One or two Comic Strip Presents depending on who wrote them. Eddie Monsoon- A Life with Ade Edmonson as a washed up druggie, alchoholic former kids TV presenter in a rehab unit was not bad (Ades wife Saunders later stole the name Eddie Monsoon for use in Absolutely Fabulous which was a crap show). Mr Jolly Lives Next Door with Peter Cook and Nicholas "Cunt" Parsons starring alongside Rik and Ade as two disgusting alcoholic male escorts paid to "take out" Parsons.

And probably a few others I forgot to mention.

Interesting that S56 mentioned Chance In A Million. It was on C4 in 1983 or !984 and starred Simon Callow and Brenda Blethyn both who later went on to be big names in Hollywood films. I wonder why its never been repeated.

Oh yes, Jack to Nurse Ratchett in Cuckoo's Nest. Nice one, Steve

[Ace]

Was Simon Callow that Army Officer who was Camp Manager in Hi-di-hi, which was okay-ish for comedy, apart from God-awful Su Pollard.

[steve56]

that was simon cadell .

Thanks Steve, why 'Ask Jeeves?' when we can 'Ask Steve?'
