Mary Whitehouse Experience

Anyone remember it?

yesssssssssss, vaguely, lol.

Memory-jogger

Newman and Baddiel,Hugh Dennis and Steve someone?
That's your girlfriend,that is!!

Steve Punt.

Only one out of the 4 that I've not seen live is David Baddiel. Met Punt and Dennis when I was about 13....

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, lovely.... milky milky.

Ooooh, and Jarvis... Well helloooooooooooo.

Rob Newman was the one everyone fancied wasn't he? Or was that just me ?

I did, til he grew his hair long and got weird writing strange novels Punt and Dennis were much more unashamedly mainstream, i.e. appeared on Jasper Carrott. I remember their classic sketch: every year an area the size of Belgium is destroyed in the Amazon. Why not just destroy Belgium?!

I went to see Newman & Baddiel in Brum - might have been the smae tour Fio? I so fancied Rob Newman

On a similar subject, does anyone remember Trevor and Simon, who used to be on Going Live? I remember going to see them at Leeds Poly (as twere) and us all having to sit cross-legged on the floor in the manner of school assembly.

He was really quite fit - or was that just when he was standing next to the other three trolls?

he was fit scootergirl, without a doubt...

Yep - remember Trev & Simon too

Don't tell me you fancied Trev and/or Simon? You'll be after the Chuckle Brothers next you sick bunny!

god yes
there was a classic sketch about rag and bone men, which still makes me pee myself.
it loses something if I explain it though...
Baddiel was always a twat but funny, yes Rob Newman was a bit fit

[PUKE emoticon] at the Chuckle Brothers! Would rather shag a Tellytubby!

No, just reminiscing about comedy acts seen in days of yore. I used to go to the comedy club place - erm, Comedy Store? Where the improv guys used to be on all the time - Paul Merton et al.

Imagine the days when comedy didn't just consist of weird Justin from CBeebies trying to goose SarahJane in Higgeldy-Piggeldy House...

hey, I met the Chuckle Borthers

in fact it was my job to look afterthem one summer at Butlins
bet you're all jealous now

Mmmmmmmmmmm Rob Newman....

I still have a t-shirt somewhere

I once had to review a Chippendales show and got put in a special enclosure at the back with all their 6ft glamourous girlfriends - me 5ft2 fresh from nine hour day at work wearing not a scrap of makeup and trousers with the hem coming down. How to feel really hapy with yourself... not!

I certainly remember the show, in fact I remember it being on radio (4?) before it was on tv.

Very funny.

There are virtually NO comedy programmes on tv any more. Or music programmes.

Another Rob Newman fan here . I read an interview with him recently about his writing, very political - didn't recognise him in the photo!

In fact I went out with someone who looked remarkably like him around the time MWE was popular.

Is the resemblance to RN why you went out with him Betty Go on, admit it...

I went through a phase of liking men with long, dark hair (Rob Newman, Daniel Day-Lewis, the ex....I'm sure there are others but can't think of them)

In fact I think I'm still going through that phase (Johnny Depp being the current one!)

Well, that's completely normal - what about Ben from X-Factor?
