I feel a right cunt now. R.I.P. Bazza
They repeated an episode of this on Sunday evening channel 5 under the title "A Tribute To Barry Chuckle". I expected Dave Benson Phillips or someone paying tribute but it was footage of a racoon rummaging in a skip.

A 1991 trailor with a rubbish predictable gag pops up here (after A Man Called Horse falling off the air)

I'd much rather have that as Saturday night viewing than the all Strictly Bake Off The Voice bollocks. God, I sound like one of those YouTube commenting old cunts. Sorry.

Possibly peak Cooked and bombd - somewhere there's an episode  of an failed & forgotten proto-Big Break snooker gameshow featuring Geoff Capes & Little & Large & Stuart Hall as host.

That is beautifully worded:

"On one show, Denis Law had two team-mates also called Dennis, namely Dennis Taylor and Dennis Waterman. No doubt a few laughs were created as a result!
Another show featured Geoff Capes and the comedians Little and Large..."


Law, Taylor and Waterman = laughs.
L&L = ???

Wow. Is that really the only page on the entire internet that mentions anything more than the title of Pot The Question? I mean it got a whole series on terrestrial TV, it wasn't just an a pilot or screened by some tiny cable channel.

Must do better, the internet.

"Thursday 4 May 1984
18.40 Pot the Question
..."This evening the emphasis is on little and large - literally! - as Syd Little , Geoff Capes
Shirley Strong and Eddie Large team up with resident captains, Denis Law and Patrick Mower
Two ex-World Champions, Ray Rear don and John Spencer , join in this entertaining 30 minutes, and making sure of fair play is resident referee, Len Ganley."

eta: scrolled down a bit too far & I'm now bewildered by the sample/teaser dialogue for
a '77 episode of Survivors.
"When a cannibal entertains you to dinner you don't sit by the pot and ask him who's cooking.
He might interpret it as criticism. And then guess who's on the menu the following night? ' "

'Stage name of Cyril Mead', or something to that effect, was one of the options on Pointless the other day. Richard Osman mentioned his restaurant too.

A deserved bump following the L&L clip and discussion on the latest Chart Music pod:

From about 1:35:00ish, but the whole thing is fucking ace.

In 1991, on Wogan, Syd unveiled an impression of John Major that was literally just Syd's normal face. No attempt to imitate Major's voice or manner.

How must Mike Yarwood have felt when Eddie was still on telly doing Deputy Dawg starting his car in 1991?

Clip, or it didn't happen.

(In other words, I'd quite like to see this, please).

This'll have to do for now.
