Just seen a few of these clips, going to go and listen to the full podcast now, me and my mates loved bo selecta when we were at school, always dropping quotes and getting funny looks off teachers or thrown out 😂😂 proper interesting content to learn about the masks etc! Thanks for taking the time to do the interview 💪🏻

@@MrandMrsDIY Hope you are well. It was strange that it just came into my head (wonder what Craig is doing now). I don't watch normal TV so don't have a clue what's going on really. But watched TV back when you did Big Brother and was glad you won it.

Quality content mate... Am I right in thinking Avid was pre-Borat? Avid character had legs... Borat later filled the gap but maybe Avid tested the water for him? 🏆

@MrandMrsDIY 2 месяца назад

Thanks mate, not quite, Borat was mid 90s for some sketch shows which Cohen kept doing in other areas, Avid was born in approx 2000! Still brilliant though!

@@MrandMrsDIY In todays society you just would t get away with this material. It’s a shame. The spirit of true comedy has gone. Bo Selecta, Father Ted, Balls of Steel. Grew up with them all. And we’re all funny and me laugh

@@MrandMrsDIY A tour that I didn't even know happened. So popular. Obviously he'll sell out small venues he has a large enough fan base. Doesn't for a second mean he didn't orchestrate his fall from the spot light with his pathetic agendas.

@@MrandMrsDIY come on Bo selector was incredible.. it was clever it was brilliant.. but more important than all that it was just funny.. but sadly he gave in to the wokerati and went on screen apologising for dressing up as Micheal Jackson and Trisha.. I have no idea why he did that.. just my opinion

@MrandMrsDIY kaufmans character wore a neck brace after he wrestled lawler and he had another character that was from the Netherlands or somewhere from around that area and leigh francis combined the two.
