>Or, in other words, a big fat advert for the big fat success of Dom Joly.

Bah, didn't even realise it was on, loved the UK version of Candid Camera but UK Gold reruns proved the series to have dated rather badly.

Though I am surprised because I thought that Dom Jolly was hailed to be a unique perfomer and now C4 are likening it to a show as old as the Benny Hills?

The talking horse, though. Fantastic.

Paul Ross, though. Fucking cunt.

I hate these retro shows where they wheel out a contributor:

a) who has nothing to do with the source material, and

b) who has just been shown a clip-reel by one of the researchers of the stuff s/he is about to be questioned on, and then conveniently "remembers" it as if it were yesterday.

Cheerio

Talking of which, Stewart Maconie turned up on yet another 'reminiscences' show last night, this time ITV's 'Top Ten'-style look at pop ballads. Now whenever I see him doing this I can't get the image out of my head the the Corpses have planted there, that of him hiring the equipment himself, then sitting alone in a room delivering the material slightly off camera to give the illusion that he's being interviewed. Heh heh heh...

And Maconie wrote the script for the Candid Camera doco, did he not? Presumably why they had Paul Ross in it, rather than the 'Cone.

Cheerio
