Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

There was a programme (old repeat) on telly the other week which was like a Porridge revisited comedy. Old faces giving 'in character' interviews etc. It wasn't very good, even though it featured an ageing Ronnie Barker. But I learned Lukewarm's (Biggins) name.

Have you seen the latest Show Me The Funny?


Load of jobbie. I know when I was a kid of that age we were telling naughty jokes. It would have been better if they'd let the kids tell jokes instead of the 'comedians'.

My money is still on the Welshman, the copper and the woman Ellie.

Having said that, we have only been shown edited highlights of each set.

One thing which crossed my mind was "Why don't the experts show us how it's done?"


I wonder how Manford and the idiot Davies would have fared in front of each audience?
