Sweet suffering JC.
How better to honour a genius than to get a talentless, unfunny, worthless piece of cack to play him!
I despair.

Do you remember the series that Spike Milligan did in the late 70's called: 'There's A Lot Of It About'?

Yes- a Johnny Speight production.
Spike blacked up to play a Pakistani Irishman. Why?
Even in 1969, LWT pulled it after 2 episodes. Yet we still remember it.
