I used to hate Monkhouse growing up - but seeing his career in more context, and another documentary leading up to his last gig (or something like that) gave me a lot more appreciation for him. I’m with you. Thought people like him and Brucey were lame as a kid. But after I got older I appreciated how great they both were, especially Monkhouse. That last gig he did when he knew he was dying, with a whose who of comedians showed you how beloved and respected he was in comedy. Edited August 21 by Hannibal Scorch Sod off bacon boy Quote

Is that the one where he did an interview with Mike Yarwood partway through? Quote

I find him fairly inoffensive but yeah don't really understand how he's carried on getting work. I always thought it was because he's a good looking bloke but he's popular on radio 2 isn't he? So must be something about him. Quote
