Genuine question: did Larry Grayson host that thing, or is this an in-joke of some kind?
When I had to watch it (used to stay at my gran's for a weekend from time to time when I was a kid and a teenager, she loved it. She chose what we watched of course. She also loved “Some Muvvers do ’ave ’em”, which was ok by me) it was Forsyth hosting it. She once bumped into him in Selfridges, he had a face like absolute thunder, I suppose he'd been being bothered by every single tom, dick and harry in the place. She didn't think it was an opportune moment to ask for his autograph.
