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
Yep. I hate that type of person. You might not agree, but I put Phil Jupitus and Bill Bailey in that same category. They spoilt QI when they were on for the same reason. They thought it was all about them.
@@gorber1971 I agree with this, particularly with Jupitus. Can't say it made me dislike him as he seems nice enough but some people just can't function when the environment isn't just about them.
@@gorber1971 each to their own i guess, i think Life of brian & fawlty towers are awesome cult classics, i know some people that just dont get it. I think Phil jupiters is a very loud unfunny turd. I think phil bailey is funny & rsther surreal with his spur of the moment comments. 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. Danny bakers book " going to sea in a sieve" if you love music is 1 of the funniest things I've read. Like i say, each to there own i guess
I remember being behind Bob Mortimer going through the tills at Food Giant in Hill Street Center once. All the time, I was wondering whether it was him or not, and then I manged to catch a glimpse of his card when he paid, and it said Robert Mortimer. I haven't seen many famous people in my life, so it sticks in my mind.
@@gorber1971 well Andrew stuck in the Hills street center it will be hard, maybe try Martin road, Boro fish bar? Or the Europa? 😀 joking, good story! I am local, not taking this Pss, just messing all the best!
Fascinating look in! But why is no-one talking about Will Self's admittance that participation in the show severely worsened his mental health? From 29:30
It is so mad, to see ulrika at 14:17 sandwiched between convicted peedo Freddy Talbott and also, Louise Wiener, from the Britpop band called Sleeper. You really could not, make it up. Well done, Vic and Bobbington, for this post-modern laff that you have created in me!!
Does everyone under 25 go to university.?.Big Night Out started out pretty niche and the 'people that attended university' took to it. Hence the university tour. It was pretty surreal and kinda cerebral. Perfect stoner stuff as well.
@@adriandenton6637 Yes. Stoners and indeed others also liked their stuff. The fact that they appealed to students and in that sense had a student fan base, off the back of which I also guess a university tour was organised, was not an exclusive appeal.
Sounds like You Bet Your Life with actual insanity. Who CARES who wins the game - you're here for Vic and Bob, just like you watched You Bet Your Life for Groucho.
Hopefully, one day, Bob will be left the entire Sky TV empire by Rupret Mydick. Then he'll commission a Vic and Bob channel. Then we shall all die with a smile on our faces.
