SAME SHIT, SAME BUCKET
Pull the chain, gang:
"Hey Hey is devoid of any real wit."
"It's just the same old rubbish."
"It's desperate. It's toilet humour and it should be flushed."

My grandparents were great fans of the Black and White Minstrel Show. I have a certain nostalgia for that. Too bad the BBC won't unlock the archives. That said, Hey Hey was pretty low. Glad we had Spicks and Specks and the like to avoid cultural embarrassment.

It's a pity the Beeb kept the likes of the B&WM and tossed out series one of Callan and Not Only... But Also.

By now I guess y'all seen Harry's disgraceful performance pimping his CD pretending to be a black preacher. But he wasn't in blackface so this makes it OK according to John Michael Howson, that loveable old fruit.
Segue.

I agree with the LOF.
The difference: HC was invited to black up by a black group, whereas the HHIS fiasco was an ill-considered pisstake.
The similarity: both are unfunny.

SIAT. Storm in a teacup for those acronym-deficient members.
Harry Connick Jr was big when Hey, Hey was last around.
End of storm.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree, Ads.
We are unlikely to disagree about last night's Q&A (if you saw it). T-shirt Todd from the Groan Transfer was a complete and utter dick.

I actually watched Dead Famous (about the gangland wars) but missed Q&A straight after. Twas a good recap of goings-on, but probably didn't need the newspaper hacks stylising secret rendezvous phone calls and such to get some points across.

I miss Callan. I was trying to remember the name of his smelly little mate - was it Lonely?

It was Lonely. Or as I like to call him: Billy the Ferret from Minder.

The Hey Hey act was also invited.
Murky.
