Gordon's Alive!
What a fabulously wonderfully laughing evening!
Managed to secure a ticket to see the filming of the British topical news quiz show Have I Got News For You and it was brilliant!
The host was Brian Blessed, yes, of Flash Gordon acclaim! We all knew it was going to be a riotous evening when he sat down and complained about the chair with him having a tight foreskin and that his wife had told him he had to behave!
Mr Blessed was as giggly as a school boy about being on the show and the usual two suspects (Mr Ian Hislop and Mr Paul Merton) had no idea where Mr Blessed was going or what he was going to say next... even saw Mr Hislop gob-smacked and Mr Merton with his head in his hands!
On TV this screens for 30 minutes with four rounds of questions... it took about an hour for them to get through the first question! Everyone seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves and Mr Blessed's outbursts of 'Gordon's Alive!' or WHWOAR (with the appropriate arm gesture) had us, the audience, laughing so hard that the seats were shaking!
All in all one of the best TV filming's I've seen, and that would be better than Absolutely Fabulous! Very much worth standing the hour and a half in the queue to get in!! Wicked!
Here's a link where you can not only learn about the show, but watch it! Enjoy!
