Myself, I say Collins & Maconie. They imitated more talented people in a smug and not-very-good way, and that perfectly captures what life was like for millions of people like me.

Shakey. Lives in the past and gets drunk.

Oh great, I'm too old for this thread. Thanks guys. (Can I still vote for Guru Josh on this one?)

I'm too young for this thread (just), but I'd like to say Steve Lamacq. His book's excellent, by the way.

Damn you Stuart! Damn you and your taught-skinned ways!

Taught skin, eh? Getting-on-a-bit-Janet?

Who teaches skin?



















Spelling lesson: taut

True, anonymous, true. I am duly chastened.
Yawn. It's not just me getting on, so is the time. G'night.

(Mind you," taught skin" may well be a term to apply in the orgy thread. )

Wouldn't Helen Robinson be the spokeswoman for Janet's generation?

Jamie Theakston and Zoe Ball would like to be the spokespersons for my generation (those born 1975-1979), but they won't be.

DJs of the future will be appearing on clip shows twenty years from now to say "Jamie Theakston and Zoe Ball - they were so nineties, weren't they?"

Do you think the 11 O'Clock show will appear in the 2020 version of 100 TV Moments from Hell?

No, the 2001 one. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

For pity's sake!!!!! Shut the fuck up about that bloody programme.

1970 - 1974?

The best episodes of Monty Python's Flying Circus, surely.

>Do you think the 11 O'Clock show will appear in the 2020 version of 100 TV Moments from Hell?

It should do - it's like "The Word", in that the mass public are turning a blind eye to it now, but they'll be calling it godawful in years to come...

Except that, sometimes, "The Word" was quite good.

Have to agree with the Corpses on this one. No-one will be able to add instant irony to the 11ocs. But Meet Ricky Gervais is worse. Much worse.

Who do I think should be spokespeople? How about Stanley, Wiggs and Cracknell from Saint Etienne? (Although they were all born in the 60s)

Douglas Coupland, Natasha Walter, Jonathan Meades, Paul Morley

Don't know their birthdates but they make the grade for me...

PS - that last one was me.

(Bet that surprised Justin...)

Natasha Walter, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

To qualify for the role, does the man/woman have to have been born between 1970-74, or earlier in order to have some valid recollection of 1970. Maybe someone born in the mid to late sixties?

In which case, Lee and Herring?

Erkan Mustafa (I won't stop until he's Pope).

Dave Gedge

Noel Gallagher, cos most of our generation are thick.

Who the hell is Helen Robinson, Jon? Is this some Neighbours reference? If so, can I nominate Bouncer instead? (The only Neighbours star to ever lick me.)




Oh hang on, I may be wrong on that one...

Helen Robinson was the really old Robinson in Neighbours.

Guy Pearce is now a Hollywood star, but what happened to Annie Jones, who played jane Mangel? She was alright.

She's kicking around doing theatre or something. I remember seeing her name somewhere.

(For the record, she is one Neighbours star who has never licked me).
