I got into the audience for the first comic relief and got a 10 minute blast of L&L in between videos of Lenny Henry being patronising in Africa - I know the beeb shows were naff, but live is a different matter, no matter how naff the tv product these guys were pros, they paid the rent making people laugh and when you were sat in front of them they knew how to make you laugh - Jimmy Saville starting his car ah-uh-ah-uh-ah nothing original, and the studio bods change the lighting to alter your mood, a glowing pink when sid and eddie were on bleach white for lenny in africa, but credit where it's due I s******ed, chuckled and laughed away, if they did not have presence and talent they would not have been able to get to a point where they could make saturday night drivel, prefer them to Ant and Dec who have got f all talent, just brass neck and bullsh*t.

TO YOU maybe

but not TO ME.

As a kid during the seventies i remember Rodger de Corcey and nookie the Palace supporting bear who were very popular with my age group.I have been told that when appering on stage and clubs that the show was aimed at adults with lots of blue jokes and Nookie doing the bos eyed routine when oggerling the ladies in the audience.Feel a bit sad for Lennie henry as i used to think he was very funny but know he comes accross as the Bono of comedy
