When Dawn French told Pat Kenny to fcuk off in reply to a lame quip he made about her weight.

This is a clip of it, I remember seeing it live but seems I was mistaken about her swearing. Mandela memory syndrome.

^^Kenny came out with a few beauts over the years, remember when he said to a kid he should black up his face if he wants to be a dancer or something to that affect

Who was it that got Pat Kenny to put on her knee length boots on the Late Late?
I think she may have died since.

Freddy Starr came onto Kenny Live with a battered brown leather suitcase full of big dirty white Y fronts with skid marks. He told Kenny to try them on and he did. Starr who famously scared the sh*t out of Muhammed Ali couldn't believe Kenny actually did it and cracked up laughing. For the rest of the interview Starr couldn't hold it together. He was laughing and laughing.

I remember when Boris Yelstin was so drunk he couldn't get off his plane at Dublin Aiport. Albert Reynolds was Taoiseach at the time. He was very amused and the whole thing was called off.

Another time a defrocked Irish monk hijacked an airplane demanding to be told the Third Secret of Fatima. Reynolds was I think foreign minister at time and he was interviewed by the press pack and told them about the guy's demands. A British journalist asked whatever the 3rd Secret was? "You tell me!" Reynolds replied.
Anyway a group of French commandos stormed the plane and overpowered the hijacker.
Reynolds was filmed on the phone giving Charlie Haughey the good news! Reynolds was a nice guy.

I remember him making some reference to “ The Japs”
There a bit of an intake of breath from the audio, and he said something like
“Sure isn’t that what their called”

This was Channel 4's live sports chat show that ran for a couple of seasons in the magic post-pub slot. I remember a few prank calls making it past the producers by starting off totally normal like "Hi Danny, I just want to say I think Arsenal should consider swapping the flat back four for three centre halves with wingbacks and fúck you you fat cúnt."

The thing that Steve Coogan done a few years back that upset the BBC when he done his IRA pisstake, I can't find a Youtube link but the Belfast Telegraph has the video on their page. Funniest thing is the character next to Coogan is a army weapons specialist who worked in the North during the troubles and Coogan jokes with him, calls him Feckin 007.

Freddie Starr was referring to Bruno's penis with the black and decker comments.

Contrary to popular belief, several people went to the police about Savile over the years. There was never any action taken against him.

Not really related but I remember in the late 90s seeing one of those Loaded type lad mags on the shelf of Easons or wherever and one of the cover stories was "I did a sh!t that looked like Frank Brunos leg".
That always pops into my head anytime I see his name mentioned.

No , thats not correct

what was said went something like this

Albert ( minister for foreign affairs at the time ) fielded questions from a bunch of journalists from various countries

a plummy accented british scribbler asked the longford pet food factory owner what were the demands of the hijacker , to which the following exchange took place

Albert Reynolds - " he wants revealed " The Third Secret of Fatima "

baffled upper crust British journalist - " what on earth is that "

Albert Reynold - " thats a religious secret "

Albert looked at your man as if he was some sort of idiot or heathen , being a good country reared catholic boy from a particular era , he couldnt understand how someone might not be familiar with " the secrets of fatima "

What is the masonic handshake then?

One thing though is that people’s sense of humor was different in the 80s or 90s. If you worked with a charity for kids it was far more acceptable to make dumb jokes about you did it because you fancied kids. I wouldn’t totally take what Phil does with his eyebrows and affectation of voice to mean Bruno was a genuine threat to children.

That's exactly right . Reynolds acted as if he knew what the secret was, but wasn't going to reveal it to the likes of a Prod. Embarrassing stuff.

That’s a comedy sketch so wasn’t a live disaster and the other guest is really an actual Daniel Craig impersonator and photographer Steve Wright

My favourite bit was “ who have you brought with you “ “I brought the cousins”

It was a pre-recorded show. The BBC were not "upset", they signed off on it.

Asked if there was much resistance to the idea from the BBC, Coogan said, "No, no. It's an in-joke for us but it works comically because Alan Partridge plays a member of the establishment who is appalled by it and that’s where the comedy comes from so artistically it’s entirely justifiable but it also makes me have a private chuckle."

Savile used visit Sutcliffe in jail quite often... Nothing known for sure, but it's thought they would discuss their escapades

i bet he got some stick from his collegues.

most of these sort of events need just the right set of circumstances for it to happen. he got real lucky that the cop knew nothing about his apearance and when he asked questions on the radio they knew just as little
its amazing what a bit of confidence can do

If you listen carefully he slips up and gives the cop two different first names. If he was on the ball he would have twigged him there.

That clip is on Reeling In The Years. Sam Smyth, the journalist, prompts Albert's answer, from over his shoulder.

It's a hard question to answer because the Third Secret of Fatima was still a secret, back then, afaik. I thought he fielded the question well, with Sam's help.

i copped that. it was fairly obvious. i dont know how the cop didnt pic up on it.
combine that with all the cuts and scrapes on his arms and legs it should have been obvious. the diference between new scratchs and a few day old ones is crazy.
