Still the funniest thing I've ever seen. The whole skit was perfection.

Even though I know Bamber wasn't actually in it.

No more conferring then. Handled the show in classy but firm way. None of this come on, come on a la Paxman. RIP now the gong has sounded sir

 

[Dirty Harry]

A real Icon, in the 70’s especially and someone I always remember fondly.
Just hope his lad doesn’t turn up to the funeral with a fishing rod etc

R.I.P Bamber.

I wonder as Bamber was approaching the Pearly Gates, he said to St. Peter -
"I'll have to hurry you"!!!!

From my childhood, always the best quizmaster.....seems these days I've either gained a bit of knowledge or the questions (some of them) are dumbed down.

That whole episode was brilliant, from Motorhead playing in the living room, to the train journey and Mel Smith as the security guard at the BBC.

RIP Bambi.
