momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    I was too young to appreciate Not the Nine o'clock News first time around but I watched a lot of them a couple of years ago and as well as still being damn funny it was apparent how much of an impact it would have had at the time as a topical series. Made me wish something similar was still around.

    Sad news for his family.
    60 is better than 59, not as good as 61 though. :cry:

    It was a shock to hear the news, he was really funny and also a talented producer, responsible for bringing Alan Partridge, among others, to prominence.

    It was a Macaloon inspired ruse to cheer up Frenchfighter in Pro Race - it worked quite well. :lol:
