Bob Monkhouse Tribute

[Jemble Fred]

One of those rare moments when I agree with Jimmy Tarbuck, you could really have done with a full series on Bob, rather than just one tribute.

Very surprised to see Coogan interviewed (from the set of Around the World In 80 Days?) and being so gushing. And it was also very pleasing to see Jimmy Carr be quite so unfunny, and then Jack Dee walk forward and score with every line.

I thought it was a great tribute and the night was made even better by my buying a video entitled 'Bob Monkhouse Exposes Himself' the day before. I didn't get a chance to watch it on Saturday - it's one of his very rare recorded live shows, possibly the only recorded one, and it's almost entirely made up of blue jokes - so I watched it just before the tribute and it certainly reaffirmed the instincts I must have already had when I once flipplantly claimed that Bob was my personal hero. He still is. '...but I didn't know it was a gay church until I turned round and noticed that only half of the congregation was kneeling.'

RIP Bob
