by a comedian, whose work I have been laughing at since I was a teenager, to ask if he could interview me in the new year.
He's a regular on the various radio and tv panel shows, and he's doing a radio show for which he thinks I might have something relevant to say.
And people ask me why I left Canada to live in the UK... 🙂
Is this a guessing game? I'm going with Emo Philips.
Well done you! 😁
No. I just don't want to name names until it actually happens.
Alexi Sayle?
Congrats! Emo is great. 🙂
Jim Davidson?
Rod Hull and Emo?
Terence and Phillip?
Is it the ghost of Bernard Manning? Or Les Dennis?
It’s Piers - isn’t it?
It’s Piers – isn’t it?
Piers may be a joke, but he’s definitely not funny!
I’m going with Emo Philips.
Is he still alive? I haven’t heard anything of him for years! I used to love his surreal brand of humour, there was a Radio One comedy slot on early Saturday afternoons which he was on, along with the likes of Steven Wright, who’s deadpan delivery I liked a lot as well.
What is the relevant thing you will be asked about?
Andy Hamilton?
Neil and Christine Hamilton ?
I call Stewart Francis.
Beard of the year award?
Anyway. I was expecting aliens from the thread title - disappointed.
Will you be taking your pipe?
..and the point of this post is...?
A comedian ( who shall remain nameless) has made contact with you to go on a radio show ( which may or may not happen )..
Well that's really made my day knowing that ...( yawn) ..
This new history thing on R4?
Sounds good, tbh. Look forward to it. 🙂
How did they find you?
Jeremy Corbyn?

That'll be Adrian Just, I bet. 🙂
This has a Jeremy Kyle revival written all over it.
Has Rylan asked you to be an expert judge on supermarket sweep?
Roy "chubby" Brown...?

This. So very much this.
why did you leave Canada to live in the UK?
My guess is Frank Skinner.
why did you leave Canada to live in the UK?
to be closer to Bernard Manning.
why did you leave Canada to live in the UK?
Whilst everything in Canadia is betterer!
Jason Mountford - He is/was on every panel show ever.
Even though you're not telling, we'll keep guessing.
Rich Hall? Or maybe Mark Steel...:)

Sandy Toksvig?

Sandy Toksvig?
On a complete tangent, If I ever met Sandi Toksvig, i'd be unable to resist the temptation to call her Ethel and ask her to make me a sandwich.
I know! Ken Dodd? Freddie Starr? or maybe the ledge that is Norman Collier?! Yes!

Bob Monkhouse?
Is it Timmy Mallett? It is, isn't it?
@136stu Timmy Mallet is active on Strava. Worth a follow if that is your thing. He seems like one of the nicest people on the planet.

I wrote it like that, but didn't think anyone would get it 😀
Is it Timmy Mallett?
He did say "comedian", not "children's entertainer"...
Bob Hope?
It was Boris wasn’t it 🤷♂️
