    Bob Carolgees and Spit the Dog - turn the volume down a bit - the levels are wrong on this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgoI8_kKnis

    I think the real double act was sooty and sweep, NOT CORBETT. I hate when people give credit to matthew and not to sweep. As has been well documented sooty and sweep, have more cultural significance than lennon/mccartney, jagger/richards, etc.

    In fact to call them a comedy double act is a bit disrespectful.

    I have a lot of time for your blog, but this time you've gone too far.

    anyway izzy,wizzy,lets get busy.

    Anonymous poster, you are far too grumpy to be the Stephen Qua that we know and love. We'll have to assume that you're some kind of crank caller with an axe to grind. We have put our people on to it.

    no Roland Rat?
    I'm sorry - your credibility shot to pieces now.
