      Agreed. I don't know if he ever had a name but I remember one about a married man whose wife was seeing someone else. He just accepted it and you could kind see why the wife didn't want him anymore. Then he ended up living at the bottom of the garden and I felt really sorry for him. It was a great ongoing series of skits.

He was kind enough to stop and pose for a photo under the clock in Marylebone High Street. He pulled “that” leering face as well. It’s one of my favourite pics.

    How lovely to see Harry after sooo long. As to his characters, we’ll; ‘Tim nice but dim’ is now an adjective for me.

Just so many great observations on life and character born from that

    I do think some of these episodes could go on longer though. Also, I do think you could let your guests talk a a bit more about themselves. Don't get me wrong, I love your comical responses, but I do feel like some guests are sometimes cut off early.
    I think this episode might well have at least an hour of interesting footage from Harry which I would love to see as it's so rare to see an interview from him.

    The Adam Curtis spoofing is great on Harry's new BBC celebration thing.

    My dad worked for a tobacco company and when I was six I got a regular tour of the factory and saw cigarettes being made. I was the only kid at school with Silk Cut and Benson and Hedges branded pencils and pencil cases😆

    A nervous Enfield maybe the funniest thing of all time. The fact that Whitehouse could keep a straight face for thirty second proves what a good actor he is.

    Kevin and Perry Go Large is unironically and completely seriously in my top 10 films of all time. Probably watched it 50+ times. Harry is an absolute genius!!
