That crossed my mind too, half joke, half serious. Although not the Joe Mangle bit.

Thing is, he was quite funny in a low level way. Although I can't remember his name.
Quote: Mikey Jackson @ October 8 2009, 1:34 PM BSTWhat I think I'm saying is that C4 used to broadcast groundbreaking stuff.
They could bring back The Comic Strip Presents... strand, but with a new generation of writers, actors and directors.

Mark Little.
Or bring back the Red Triangle films.

That's him. He was great in Two Pints Of Lager as well. He really elevated the material.

And Triangle.

He was alright. I've always got fond memorises of Johnny Vaughn doing the news report though. Made me late for school everyday, that's what I is smart.

Vaughn was good on it. But then the BBC gave him a shedload of money to make a load of chatshows and they were all shit. Funny how often that happens.

I used to watch them late at night on the little black-and-white telly in my bedroom. You usually had to sit through a lot of tedious French melodrama to get to the decent stuff. And I grew up assuming that Peter Greenaway was a pornographer.

And a shed if I remember correctly?

I used to have a little crappy b&w portable in my bedroom too. There was some very weird foreign films, with about two minutes of gratutious sex.

Slightly odd now to remember that Mark Lamarr used to do that slot. I remember going to see him do a gig at Balham around the time he was doing The Big Breakfast. He forgot part of his set at one point and I drunkenly heckled "Where are you Mark?!", it was so hee-larious, everyone agreed, well not everyone really, but I thought it was... then Mark called me a c**t, so...

I wouldn't be at all surprised!!! Watch this space.
