      You re-watch the old HIGNY series and see him pop up a number of times, he's not particularly quick-witted but there's something likeable about him.....
      This is a decent example of what power does to people.

      And it was the Bristol Stomp, remade by the Late Show in the 80s. Great song.

    Really thought it was Ian first time I saw this.
    I'm a '60's girl myself
    but I do like the song.

    this makes me think...
    what if David Lloyd George, or Prince Edward (not that one) or
    (ahem) "Churchill" ,
    had had the opportunity to appear on this show?
    how iconic would they be?
