'Big Night Out' was just something else. Nothing like it before, others have tried a similar format since but can't.

you either love or hate them i watched their very first Vic Reeves bg night out on channel 4 and loved them immediately

'Friends' 😆 I know which I was watching on Friday nights and it wasn't a US sitcom

Always hated Danny Baker. I've never seen anyone so involved with British comedy back in the day who just didn't get how comedy works. I think his problem was he saw comedy as a competition where he HAD to win and his attempts at one upping a genuinely talented comic were just cringe worthy which is evident at around 21:22 where he completely sucks the funny out of the room instead of playing along. How that man made a living I'll never know

Danny baker when he was on Radio London I think, was very amusing, had many music related anecdotes & was very interesting regarding his life long musical knowledge AND he has saved me nearly a thousand pounds in licence fee too.
