Can't sleep with indigestion so watched a bit of telly on Challenge...... Bob's Full House with Bob Monkhouse, filmed in 1989.

Puts to shame 99% of current gameshow hosts.

I'd forgotten just how quick witted and smart he was.

Check out "The Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse" if you can find it - really, really strange.

Brilliant mind, but the smarm put a lot of people off.

A mate went on that show, said it was all scripted and rehearsed.

I'd have no doubt it probably was as all shows are to a fashion, it was his quickness and piss taking (the episode I watched this morning one guy got just 1 question right in 30 mins while the other three got 12/13 correct) it won't have been scripted for that.

Remember my parents tell me they saw him at the palladium many moons ago, plenty of blue jokes which wasn’t the norm in those days…..

Words are great and spot on but the AI generated images make my teeth itch.

If it can fit on the fireplace then the fireplace is the place for it :)

Loved these carriages, felt like you were going somewhere when you used them.

Sat there looking out of the window having a ciggie and watching the world go by.

My Mum and Dad saw him at Pontin's in the late '70s.

I remember Dad telling his mates, when we got back home, that the jokes gradually got bluer and bluer, until the audience stopped laughing and Bob brought them back to where they started laughing again.

It takes a true professional, to be able to do that.

Who actually saw a wheel tapper? I saw one once, just once. Shunters were easy to spot if you went to a match at Burnden Park where the open end had a shunting yard right behind it. They used to drive an engine to the spot and watch the match from there.

In my younger days I saw a few of them with their long wire handled hammer and big block of chalk. They always gave us a cheery welcome of " Hey you kids, Fuck off"
