The only records that Manitas and I had in common when we got together were the Kippers' 'Since Time Immoral' and The Goons, 'Ying Tong Song'.... what does that say about us?

I actually stopped in the street and wailed when I saw the headline.... bit of a bugger outside the tube station, but then, most everyone else was doing it too.

During the first ever Comedy Awards they announced that Spike had won the 'lifetime achievement' award and that Prince Charles had written a letter... Spike was asked what he thought of this and replied 'what does the grovelling bastard want now?' The only truly funny moment in what had been a direly unfunny programme.
