Easy job for Bob. Light blue touch paper and retire.

What hurt bob & the series was that critics thought he was his usual persona of being smarmy & insincere but he interviewed tommy cooper & bob hope & his other heroes, & was no more suck up than american talk show hosts today.

Monkhouse was too mainstream for Spike's humour.

I've heard this story 3 or more times, on different shows, but still love it and Spike himself

Milligan’s war memoirs are truly brilliant. You get a better idea of the reality of WW2 through them than from all the learned academic tomes that have been produced highly recommended

I didn't know Milligan could sing...!
