Several years ago on Mock the Week, they were discussing a sausage mascot which looked like a giant member with eyes. Some bloke in the audience shouted at Dara “It looks like you!” It was pointed out “The 100th program, and the 1st time we’ve been heckled by the audience.” And ever since the game ‘What Does Dara Look Like?’ has been a staple feature. And the rest, as they say, is history.
This was just what I needed, thanks. I always liked the crazy presenters the best - Brian Blessed, Tom Baker, Bill Shatner, Bruce Forsyth (not crazy, more manic).
I can’t find it on RU-vid, but when Brian was interviewed by Russell Howard (which was a surprise present for the host by the crew), his story of meeting a polar bear had me in hysterics for ages.
Brian blessed should’ve been in far more movies, what’s character and personality…. He even did well in Flash Gordon 😂 He has a wonderful presence and should certainly have never been off tv
It's long overdue to recognise and accept that correct pronunciation and clear enunciation is NOT 'posh', any more than accurate arithmetic is 'posh'. Poor pronunciation and unclear enunciation is lazy, moronic and 'bogun'.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-POO4lrTclNY.html
