And Now for Something Completely Different

Jonathan Ross had the comedian and game show presenter Roy Walker on his radio show last weekend. They kept talking about a famous blooper from Walker's show Catchphrase that everyone had seen on YouTube. Well, I hadn't seen it, and I had to bring it to all of you.

The version below kind of condenses the action ... they also have unedited version on YouTube. But this really happened, even though a censored version is what aired on ITV back in the 90s.

Red Dwarf memories

Podcasting has to be the biggest boon to Aglophiliacs since PBS started importing Britcoms. Today is Saturday, so a new Jonathan Ross radio show is up. I suggest you subscribe in iTunes immediately.

Ross has been on a roll lately ... a few weeks ago he had David Tenent, then Paul Weller. This week he had Patsy Kensit (ex-wife of both Jim Kerr and Liam Gallagher!) But last week was a real cracker. You can listen to it here.

The show features both Noman Lovett and Hattie Heyridge -- the two "Holly"s from Red Dwarf. Now, as "Wossie" (said with love) describes it, the average Red Dwarf fan is somewhere between the age of 12 and 14 1/2. But what he doesn't realize is that so many of us stateside didn't discover this amazing show until we were proper adults and we still loved it.

For those of you who don't know about it, you're a smeghead (that's meant to be funny to fans of the show). Red Dwarf was an inventive comedy set 3 million years in the future and it follows the adventures of the last human left alive -- a 22nd-century curry-loving Liverpudlian who's been in stasis as the millenia past by.

And since it is Saturday, many of you have seen last night's Doctor Who by now, which was a real cracker, wasn't it?
