      There is something life-affirming about his comedy; I think it's his willingness to talk about hating his figure, which is more usually a subject for female comics, as well as his incredulity at how his life hasn't exactly gone down the wife and 2.4 children route (where most comics his age have family now and are doing riffs about being bamboozled fathers) and yet although he's honest he's never bitter, angry or smug about it. It is pretty common to see comics doing the man-child schtick, but his unusual twist on it is that he's still got the vestiges of the alpha-male Mr Gilbert aura hanging around him, which makes it a bit different. Plus he clearly adores his bonkers family so he never leaves you feeling he's unfairly using them as comic fodder. I still find it fascinating to imagine how his conversations with Liz Kendall might have gone.

    Just a beer drinking Swede here with no real knowledge about this Guy. wiki: Weakened by torture and aided by the hangman, Fawkes began to climb the ladder to the noose, but either through jumping to his death or climbing too high so the rope was incorrectly set, he managed to avoid the agony of the latter part of his execution by breaking his neck.[37][55][56] His lifeless body was nevertheless quartered[57] and, as was the custom,[58] his body parts were then distributed to "the four corners of the kingdom", to be displayed as a warning to other would-be traitors.[59]

    Fawkes jumped (or fell) from the ladder up to the scaffold and broke his neck - ending his life. Avoiding the full punishment - as he would have been hung to the point of death, let down before he died, then whilst still alive would have been drawn and quartering - basically cut to pieces whilst still alive.
