Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 Skinner was actually one of the best Room 101 guests before he took over as well. His bit on Shakespeare was superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bit on Shakespeare was superb. I've never been able to track it down (I think I have it on an old VHS tape recorded off telly somewhere), but Mark Lamaar was always my favourite guest of the Hancock era, I remember him getting almost every choice in. I miss Mark Lamaar, i might just have been late to his stand up career, but saw two live shows of his which to this day are amongst my favourites, Uncensored and Live and the latter which was I think absorbed into the 'Leaving the 20th Century' series in the late 90's. Anyway, as you were... Office talk this morning is that Kay needs a bone marrow transplant or something? I've not seen that anywhere online although been busy over the weekend, but stated quite categorically round the biscuit table earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 Baddiel and Skinner were like an 80s tag team. Skinner was so much funnier than him it was quite painful some nights. Especially on unplanned, when you had Skinner who was so quick on his feet and Baddiel who ... wasnt. "eh, Frank, that person looks like me on my wedding photo." There was one occassion someone from the audience asked that very question about how Frank carries him through, and Skinner didnt even try to banter with him. He just said. "I dont think we should answer that, because its such a twatty question." Thought it was a great response to such a snide wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 Funny thing is, when I first started watching Fantasy Football League I didn't have a clue who Frank Skinner was and was drawn to the show because Baddiel was in it. I liked Newman and Baddiel in my early teens, especially the History Today sketches. Didn't take long to realise who the real talent was in Fantasy Football League though. It was clearly Jason Lee.

Keith Houchen Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The thing that I loved about Fantasy Football was it was unashamedly by football fans for football fans, it wasn't a TV show with a football theme for a casual audience. Everything Soccer AM wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 Even to this day I get the song they played when Ray Stubbs was a guest stuck in my head. # Ray Stubbs, he's the man who fills in when Des Lynam is awaaaay # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 Am I making this up or did Karen Brady complain about John Motson being a bit to friendly with her on set or something? I'm certain he tried his luck off camera or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGIT Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Anyone else get mixed up and think a young Peter Kay played Big Boy Barry from Games World. My family thought that for a good ten years. He's his double. Anyone remember Games World? I can only half remember. I think I had an episode on tape with a recording of Summerslam 93.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted December 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 Was Gamesworld the one that had David Williams running round stark bollock naked and, more importantly, Jet off Galdiators dressed as a dominatrix, or have I been having those dreams again?

Aye, that's the one. Big Boy Barry organises retro game expos these days. Saw him doing a talk last year, he's a very engaging chap indeed. Definitely not Peter Kay though.

The amount of double entendres wouldn't fly on a show predominantly aimed at kids nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
