Thanks for posting this.

7:39 you don't say Phillip, you don't say...

[@markbarrett8180]

What I instantly noticed was the smoking - THEN giving Gordon a puff on it. Ha ha ha

[@reggipher]

And then he came out of the broom closet. Oops, I mean broom cupboard.

[@cjlist9731]

The phrase "couldn't keep a straight face" now has a whole new meaning 😉😅

[@rajnirvan3336]

Sarah hinted Phil would co host for next 6 years on Saturday morning

[@hunyesmith03]

I love he talks about Doctor Who being a good show to aspire to even though he was to cancel it shortly after and apparently hated it. 😅

[@dlamiss]

Dr Who ran till 89, Grade left the BBC in early 88

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

​@@dlamissi thought Michael grade hated doctor who not Phillip

[@dlamiss]

@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 Grade was featured at the start of the clip thats who i was referring to but be didnt cancel Dr Who even though he hated it Jonathan Powell cancelled it

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@@dlamiss glad all the classic stories are on dvd so we don't have to go through anything like this

[@AurumEtAes]

Joking about making a glove puppet the next Doctor is a clear demonstration of his contempt for the series

[@matthewpayton]

This was before Going live!

[@neilogden]

This was the day he left the afternoons to go and do Going LIve

[@BattleBecause]

​@@neilogdenAaah, l was wondering.

[@2008giles]

Vince was Mr Bennett in Take Hart, right?

[@neilogden]

Yes (and Hartbeat). Played by Colin Bennett.

[@russellstratton7065]

Dad of the incredible Tom Bennett star of Afterlife, PhoneShop and currently starring as Del in Only Fools in West End

[@billybollockhead5628]

I’d forgotten how much I had the hots for Margot.

[@lucaschapman2188]

That bloke with Philip in the Red coat. I really thought it was Mr Bennett from Take Hart for a moment.

[@neilogden]

It is!

[@lucaschapman2188]

Oh okay 👍🏻 used to find him very funny as a child .

[@TimelordUK]

I used to HATE Mr Bennett. So annoying and unnecessary. He spoiled Take Hart for me

[@neilogden]

@@TimelordUK I think he was there to break things up a bit, something different in-between the serious bits

[@Oddballkane]

Omg Gordon the gopher. Also, Edd the duck and Otis the Aardvark

[@Oddballkane]

@Rob Smith Racing yes Otis the Aardvark

[@cjlist9731]

And now there is no CBBC or CITV on in the afternoons. First it got shoved to digital & now to streaming 😢

[@neilogden]

CBBC hasn't disappeared as a channel yet. You'll still find the brilliant Hacker accompanying a team of 4 at CBBC HQ as it is called these days, located in a studio shared with Newsround. They are on every afternoon and in the mornings at the weekend and holidays.

[@clivet3252]

@@neilogden Hacker is absolutely dreadful. Worse than Basil Brush.

[@MendelsonShape]

Huh. This was on my twelfth birthday.

[@johnd6487]

Aww.. music by Jonathon Cohen.. whatever happened to him?

[@stevedickson5853]

Used to love Galloping Galaxies..and I had a bit of a crush on Sarah Green.

[@andrewbarton2590]

Julie Dawn Cole in the cast of Galloping Galaxies. I think she was the only one of the child cast from Willy Wonka to still be acting at this point - the others had retired.

[@kevinbush4300]

3:16… hard man! Difficult to please!😮😊

[@scottpeacock5492]

Michael Grade say Gorden could be the new Doctor in Doctor Who and he cancel it 2 years later, Poor Gorden dreams was Dashed 1:44 Poor Gorden 😂

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

Yup........

[@makaio9578]

Well grade Did everything he could to end doctor who so

[@Darren79]

@@makaio9578 Grade left the BBC and went to channel 4 at the start of 1988.

[@TimelordUK]

He was always camp. What's sad is he felt it better to hide and deny being gay to work his way up the career ladder

[@filevans]

shame it has a clicking sound

[@neilogden]

Not all of it does, but unfortunately that's the way VHS tape ages sometimes!

[@filevans]

@@neilogden i didn't say all of it had but it's on a lot of the speech personally never had that on any of my vhs videos, so could be the way i was captured

[@wolveshat854]

Ive got the teeth for it 😅😅😅

[@makaio9578]

Dunno Why Michael Grade is offering Gordon to be Doctor who, if it was up to him, Doctor who would of been off air

Look where he is today and the money he gets I always liked him and I don't care if he is gay

[@QPRTokyo]

He looks a little creepy in this.

[@jimjiminy5836]

He is. He got caught grooming a teenage boy on “‘this morning”. He then “came out” publicly to deflect the attention from his nefariousness.

[@billybollockhead5628]

It’s the spray tan

[@markxist]

​@@jimjiminy5836 yup, has to be the next big one outed

[@melgrant7404]

Looks creepy now.

@@jimjiminy5836 and now his brother has got done for it

[@judgeberry6071]

Bit of an insult to the people in the "post room" eh? But I bet they were better at acting lol
