Bob Harris (Danny Baker's "Heroes of Television" 1994)

Danny Baker's affectionate profile of Bob Harris's Old Grey Whistle Test years

[@christopherpeden547]

having to sit through seemingly hours of shite to catch a glimpse of the Ramones was my memory of OFWT

[@carlskelton5230]

Love the way Bob pronounces "reckids".

[@trevorsmith9261]

I’ve watched this so many times.

[@olavthehairy]

Get well soon Mr Baker

[@adedamolaadeleke6228]

My birthday nearly around in this actual term

[@taildragger53]

@olavthehairy Yes, and a 'get well' also to Bob Harris. He's been battling cancer for sometime. Danny Baker is absolutely right here.

[@JJONNYREPP]

Bob Harris (Danny Baker's "Heroes of Television" 1994) 1039am 9.12.22 indeed. and that man who sold out cos no one asked me to sell anything... is me!!

[@railwaystationmaster]

Oh i wish Bob Harriss STILL whispered !

[@ysgol3]

Iloved the Spitting Inage sketch in which Danny Baker disappeared up his own arse - Harris could as well I reckon.

Kermode looks like a Glam Jim Morrison

I’m here for the 2 seconds of Stackridge

0:26 "The court of the crimson king" a prog reference i think and sadly not a Dark Tower reference

[@FiveLiver]

'Sugar Sugar' by the Archies was a massive record; it took over radios and TVs for weeks in the autumn of 1969, and was as big as 'Release me' had been in 1967. Danny Baker is having you on kids, nobody knew or cared about King Crimson or the 'counterculture'.

[@pauldunn108]

Congratulations on completely missing the point

[@poppycock31185]

I think what you just said is exactly why Danny Baker used those two bands as examples.😅

[@keep_it_tidy56]

Oh yes they did.

[@adamtzsch]

Kermode 😂👌🏼

[@IndependentGeorge76]

The way Bob Harris presents is the exact opposite of Jools 'look at me' Holland, oh yeah you've got a great band, how about i crowbar some of my own piano playing into it. smug git. sorry, back to Harris, smashing fella.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

I still can't forgive Bob for his smirking put down of The New York Dolls. Tut tut. Most unwhispering.

[@poppycock31185]

Yeah, I've watched that a few times on several of those music or punk "top 100 moments" tv shows. Always makes me laugh. Speaking of put downs, how long do you reckon it would take to deflate Danny Bakers opinion of himself?🤔

[@jimskea224]

Hmmm... nice.

[@Putaspellonyou]

can you imagne him on ecstacy? or xanax?
