So lovely to see Jimmy Savile back on our screens - much missed!

I loved watching this as a kid. Was it on at the weekend? I'm sure I remember watching it at my grandparents.

I can see why Alternative Comedy had to happen.

This really typified the kind of show Granada were making in the 1980s that only got a network slot because it was Granada. Just take some lousy act from the local working men's clubs and stick them in front of a camera, they seemingly made thousands of the flipping things - a lazy, complacent company at times. This would have been old hat in 1975. I thought it was grim in the early '80s... I'd forgotten they were still making it a few years out from the' 90s!

There's a Writing Supervisor listed in the credits, but, apparently, no actual writers would admit to being involved.

A Savile impersonator.

Loved this at the time but go easy on my folks, I was 10. Pretty sure you will say that is no excuse.
