>>>I discovered recently (during the VE Day commemorations) that he was in the Guards during the War, as an officer, and was in the road on VE day, either when the K & Q came out to wave, or when Winston came out to take the public's adulation, and can be seen on film sparking up his jazz band in the street. I love the bawdy puns he loves to say, esp. about the lovely Samantha?, the score keeper.

>LOL Never seen a show (although you can apply for free tckets, if it's being recorded in your area - love the way he has a snide remark about wherever the show is too) but I'm pretty sure she does exist. The "laser scoreboard" is obviously a chalkboard or some such too.

The one problem with this particular show is that it sometimes gets a bit too parochial. I say that only as one who listened to the show from elsewhere. The jokes are probably great in the locale in which they're made, but there are some that I simply don't 'get'. Now, I know they probably aren't doing the show for global consumption, but that the other show, "My Word" (if that's what it was called) didn't seem to have the same issue. Neither, for that matter did "Just a Minute". I will say though that the parts I do get (most of the show) are hilarious - even most of the groaners during the ending party session.
