I put money on Brian Conley turning up in the jungle next series (watch this space!) Or in Corronation Street to replace Bradley Walsh. What about Phil Cool. Just done a search for him and he has a DVD out!! Didn't know he was still doing anything at all. |

Phil Cool did do a small tour arround March this year, that's probably where the DVD evolved.
Only found that out though when it was over with!
I've still got a live VHS of Phil's 'Cool n Hot', he does his Terry Wogan "Wibbly Wobbly tipty toe" and all that stuff. The encore was a Rolf Harris singalong (I think)

I used to love Phil Cool, but nowadays everyone looks at me as if I've just announced that Gary Glitter is the king of pop when I mention the fella. I used to love him doing the Pope. That's doing on impression of him, not giving him one up the Gary  |

[ORIGINALLY POSTED BY COLUMBO]EMU  What were the last words Rod Hull said to Emu? "For f*ck's sake... grab hold of that gutter!"Ah yes... tasteless and now a VERY old joke... but that aside - what became of Emu after 'Big Rod' joined 'de worms'? Famous as a duo and seen the world over... particularly on 'Parky' - people often assumed that Emu was simply a puppet, and Rod just some perve who used him as an excuse to grab hold of people in order to be sexually inappropriate with them - although why anyone would want to grab Parky's crotch is beyond me. Anyhow - for those who know that Emu was REAL... like Mr. Spoon, the Borrowers and Neil Innes - we want to know what happened to Emu. Anyone know, pleade reply here!  N.

[ORIGINALLY POSTED BY COLUMBO]DUNCAN NORVELLE Remember him on British TV in the 80s? "Chase me" was his catchprase. I wondered - "What's he doing now?" and found out... Have a butchers at this...  His catchphrase is copied by hundreds of other Comedians, and Impressionists throughout the United Kingdom, which is no surprise when you just look at the TV shows Duncan has appeared, on a regular basis :
The Des O'Connor Show
Summertime Special
Wogan
Bullseye
Celebrity Squares
The Royal Variety Show
Add this to all the regional TV shows and it is easy to see why Duncan is a household name in the UK.
With the swing towards alternative comedy, Duncans appearances on TV became fewer, while his live performances grew in number. For while the alternative comics could perform for 10 minutes on a TV show, many of them have not had the grounding of some of the UK best loved comedians, and struggle to give a twenty minute performance never mind a solid hour plus.
This is why Comedians such as Frank Carson, Bobby Davro, Norman Collier and Duncan Norvelle are still going strong today. It is also why today's TV producers are again looking to these comics for their shows. These are the true funnymen of the UK.
Duncan Norvelle is one of the UK's most sort after Comedians, popular on the Corporate circuit, Cruise Lines, and in the re-emerging club scene in Britain. Duncan can soon be seen on a full UK theatre tour this Autumn and Spring 2002 with Frank Carson, Norman Collier and Jimmy Cricket. This will feature many national TV appearances as well as National Press and Radio as the tour takes in over 80 UK theatres.
His agent also has the following people on the books: Tony Hadley
Paul Carrack
Victoria Wood
Jim Davidson
The Human League
Alvin Stardust
Jamie Cullum
Mixed Feelings
Cavern Beatles
Voulez Vous
Kid Creole & The CoconutsSo now ye know what happenened to him!  N.

Link not working! Try This OneI heard about this a while ago, I think it'll probably work for a new generation of Emu fans, but to us, it won't be the same... It'd be good if they brought back 'Croc'. The crocodile with a speech impedement! (And one of my first ever 'good' impressions I used to do [and still can!])  "Pleash mishish Grotbagsh, pleash don't bashash me with your bashasher!" |

CHRIS QUENTIN....  Not to be confused with Quentin Crisp  One's a very camp homosexual, the other played Brian Tilsley in Coronation Street. |

I like crisps... never had Quentin flavour!
There's a cue there... come on, pseudo-homo gags at the ready - a shiny sixpence to the boy who gets his in there first!
Ho! And another - they're coming thick and fast!
tee-hee - this stuff's funny - so good it HAS TO be fattening!
