You did say CULT gambling show, didn't you?

I did. Not my words, though, just what I read in the tv listings. You're right, though. For it to be a cult, someone would actually have to watch it.

Now, celebrity Russian Roulette on the other hand...such possibilities.

You're missing the big issue here. Comedy God (or at least God-like) Stephen Fry will share breathing space with total post-11 o'clock show shitbag Ricky Gervais! It's the end! Like when Elenor Bron was in Hippies, or when Chris Morris in I'm Alan Partridge. What next? Spike Milligan in Gimme Gimme Gimme? Eric Sykes in The Fitz? John Cleese in Third Rock From The Sun? Er, hold on...

What do you have against Third Rock From The Sun? OK, it's not Seinfeld, but then again it's not My Family, thank God.
Although I can't understand why it's the only US import that the BBC will show at a decent time.

Peter Cook sitting at the bar in 'Time Gentlemen Please'...in the 22nd episode. Will anyone really hang on that long?

God, Eric Idle in Suddenly Susan. Forgot about that one (and with good reason).

...Michael Palin in Home And Away (but he was taking the piss).

Oh, and hello again to kinder surprise. And if its Peter Cook embarassing himself, you need look no further than 'Supergirl'...

Sad but true. You could see the pain in his eyes. Although I think that Craig Ferguson special, that Frankie Howerd was also blackmailed into being in, was even more embarrassing for Cook. I can't remember enough about the US sitcom.
