DAVE THE CARDBOARD BOX !

a mate at college, a proper geezer, he was, from catford... thinking about it, 'dave from catford' or 'catford dave' would've been perfectly acceptable too, but we alternated between this (the jasper carrott) & 'do-what-dave', because his standard surprised-interrogative was 'do what?', & upon being furnished with a satisfactory answer, he would usually respond 'on my life!'

lovely lad. left the course to be trained by BT instead. no idea what happened to him, but now I've come over all nostalgic.
he had a canary yellow triumph spitfire, & in the summer we'd take the top off it, & four of us would go to chislehurst caves of a sunday afternoon.

The Glam Metal Detectives

Most people seem to shit all over this show, but I feel fond memories because of Colin Corleone, the piss poor spoof commercials, and me and the lady still say " 'APPY 'OUR" in an angry bouncer voice whenever we see mention of a happy hour.

It was decent, that. Deserved a second series.

Re. Dead Boss: Sharon Horgan and Aisling Bea have just started shooting a new comedy where they play sisters again. Penned by Bea rather than Horgan and Holly Walsh this time though. Still, better than nothing.

what's he look like?

thirty five years ago... jeez.... blonde curly hair, suspiciously like it had been coloured & permed, which he vehemently denied. cheeky grin was his default face, which often made him seem slightly pass-agg, though we wouldn't have called it that then. I wish we had pictures. no-one took pictures back then.
I can't remember his surname either. he was just 'dave'.

DAVE THE CARDBOARD BOX !

Yes! Possibly the best bit of Carrott's Lib. Didn't actually get to see it until 1994, when UK Gold repeated the lot. Was quite odd at the time to see early 80s topical gags in the context of the Britpoppy mid-90s. A very underrated (and not even really remembered) moment in Rik Mayall and Lise Mayer's careers.
