It was mocking laughter, Rob H! Mocking laughter designed to mock!

I still think the painted ladies was my favourite 'programme'.

I was at university sharing a house with 5 lads during Live TV's heyday.

Can you tell?

The Live Strip was mine. Whistling nnocently

Didn't it also feature that weird northern bloke who wears a big head mask thing?

WTF was that?

I consider myself duly mocked. Thank you for taking the time. I just feel bad that somewhere there's a nearly-legal girl that's missed out on being leched on because you took the time to mock instead. :(

I'm not sure now? Huh? Maybe he wasn't? But anyway, WTF was he?

One for the ladies (and the gays)... Live! TV also had Lunchbox Volleyball (unless I'm mistaken and that's just another of my half-remembered homo-erotic nightmares).

Oh, you youngsters! Frank Sidebottom used to be hugley popular playing gigs around the universities. Some people got him, some people didn't. Him and his band would play Casio keyboard-style "tributes" of well-known songs. Mark Radcliffe was his drummer for a bit, Jon Ronson was his keyboard player and tour manager for a while. Chris Evans was the band's driver whilst he was still a radio dogsbody.
