Funny.
And they reckoned Ron didn't have a SoH.

[darren woolley]

That's the funniest thing I've seen for a long time.

[Mazrim]

Did he miss... Diane?

Gunna need to watch it with sound when I get home

Who's Benny from Crossroads for the benefit of us younger viewers?

[The Laughing Policeman]

Here you go. Two of Britain's finest actors at work.

One of the great characters in British soaps (and his goat Moses!)  Paul Henry who played him used to be gaffer at The Actress and Bishop down the Jewellery Quarter. The reporter was John Swallow who did the funny segments after Chris Tarrant left ATV Today . We had an occassional drink with John Swallow in the Night and Day he was not at all  happy at ATV for a reason I have now forgotten. It seems local TV treats its establised staff in a poor way.

Alan Towers and Suzanne Virdee spring to mind.

[The Left Side]

Bizarre indeed!

Paul Henry's son went to our school and knew sod all about football. Also, he was a complete twat.
