But it's unwatchable due to adverts every 3 minutes :P

"Shut that lid". Funny (but Larry Grayson would be saying that, several years ago...)

What's the betting that Private Eye's in-house obituary poet EJ Thribb will write in the next issue something like:

So, farewell then
John Inman.
Your catchline was
"I'm free"
but now you really are.


You heard it on YakYak first!
