I used to go and see then too. At the start, he would run through the format with the audience and get everyone warmed up. On one occasion, "After I've introduced each team, that's when you applaud, don't applaud individual guests, ok?" Lamarr introduces each guest and a few people applaud, ok let's go again, DON'T applaud until I've introduced THE TEAM.....OK, we get it, sorry.....Lamarr introduces a couple of guests and then a few in the audience get it wrong and applaud again "LOOK YOU C--TS, I said DON'T applaud until the WHOLE TEAM has been introduced FFS" This got a big laugh. I always got the impression that ML was only half-joking though. He was a funny guy but seemed unhappy. I heard he's doing the in-flight radio for British Airways now. A bit sad really.

I once owned Mark Lamarr. I met him outside a bar in Edinburgh some years ago, and pretended to get all star struck, which he quite enjoyed because he had a lady with him at the time. Then I deliberately addressed him by the wrong name, pretending to have confused him with Terry Christian. The girl he was with pissed herself laughing and he knew he'd been well and truly got. Good sport.
