it's discussing the myths and legends of Tintagel.

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 05/01/2007 23:45

BF and I were reminiscing about late night R4 shows when we were in our teens. Fry and Laurie did one, and then there was the unforgettable 'Star Terk' (!), and 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'.

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 05/01/2007 23:50

It was caller The Saturday Night Fish Fry - remember the theme tune?
i used to record it.
and there was another one with helen lederer, nick someone and clive mantle... loved that.

We recorded them too. We found the blank tapes, with our teenage scribble on them, along with reams and reams of comedy scripts we'd written! Saturday Night Fry, that's it!

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 05/01/2007 23:53

that's the one! good to meet a fellow geek.

there was also a late night cabaret show called something like 'room at the top' (but not that), which used to make my heart sink a bit cos it was shit.

you know that greeny knows all the words to all the Blackadder shows, don't you?

We used to - but not series one because Ben Elton wasn't involved!

I loved Ben Elton.

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 05/01/2007 23:59

i actually used to think that i would marry him some day. he was funny, wasn't he?
i also taped (on my tape recorder, not a video) series 2 and beyond of Blackadder.
are we actually the same person?

My BF painted me a HUGE black and white portrait of Ben Elton for my 18th birthday.
It stayed on my bedroom wall all through uni!
I finally donated it to (an extremely lucky IMO) charity shop last year - it had been on the wall in the spare bedroom for years.
The children thought it was of some obscure relative!
Did you also worship the Monty Python team?

Saturn74 · 06/01/2007 00:05

Oh, just remembered that we have all the Friday Night Live and Saturday Night Live shows taped - also on audio tape not video tape.
(My Dad was sure Betamax would take off, and VHS was for losers! )

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 06/01/2007 00:05

i did. but actually i went off them when i got to uni and i found out who else liked them. i'd hardly seen any on telly, tbh, i just used to buy the scripts. in fact i can see a copy of the brand new papperbook from where i sit...

OP posts:
AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 06/01/2007 00:07

yep, had them all taped as well. even the ones hosted by tracey ullman and lenny henry, pre elton.
i can't believe how much of a nob he is now.

OP posts:
Saturn74 · 06/01/2007 00:07

don't you mean papperbok?

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 06/01/2007 00:09
