The only double-act with two straight men...Mike & Bernie Winters
I have no idea who Arne Saknussemm is, but I know the other two.Just thinking about a few names that would mean something to FOCs, but youngsters wouldn't have a clue about....
Arne Saknussemm
Alf Tupper
Mrs Mills
There will obviously be hundreds more, but I'll bet that each of those three names immediately triggered a memory for FOCs
The Classic in Southampton - 1978, Emmanuel with Sylvia Krystel (she was the star, I don't mean that I took her :-) ) .Where did you see your first X rated film? The Fleapit in Levenshulme for me.

He was actually fucking awful. He was a complete unknown but God only knows why he got the gig to replace lantern-jawed Bruce Forsyth as compere of Sunday night at the London Palladium. He did have two catchphrases which he used incessantly. They were "swinging" and "dodgy" The stupid audience used to fall about laughing.

He also replaced Bob Monkhouse as host for The Golden ShotHe was actually fucking awful.
