This at a guess:

Not watching personally. I hate all these "top 50 <whatever>" programmes because you always spend hours into the night waiting for number one and it invariably is a completely inappropriate and disappointing "winner"!

e.g. top TV moments that was on over Xmas!

You know it's bad when your top 10 come and go down at number 30 or so with another 3 hours to go!!!

Agreed, but this is a good one (yes, they still exist)

Good to see Jim and Bob at 7

I'm still holding out for Cleese.

Close, he was second. Winner was the massively over-rated Peter Cooke.

Wasn't Woody married to Mia Farrow - who was Mrs Andre Previn who was featured with Eric Morecombe who was next on the list?

Re Peter Cook I stayed up to watch the Dudley/Pete film when Pete got into his heavy swearing mode. Just so unfunny. I thought Cleese should have won it by a mile..... but then everyone has their own sense of humour. DL

The only interesting thing to come out of that programme was to find out who was the voice of " K Billy's super sounds of the 70's "

Peter Cook
