They are a little alike. That said, I oft confuse Bradley Walsh and Brian Conley.

They're easy to tell apart. Bradley Walsh steals ideas from Bruce Forsyth (Generation Game/Keep it in the Family)

Brian Conley steals ideas from Bob 'Marty Funkhouser' Einstein (Super Dave/Dangerous Brian)

Maybe she was readying you for a life in "based on a true story" sitcoms?

Not following the other series mentioned, but I'd watch something about Lofty as a teenager.

So would I, a half-man, half cat hybrid's struggle to be taken seriously in suburban Stevenage. Wouldn't his claws puncture the over-exposed 70s faux space hopper though?

Laughing out loud

Who wouldn't want to watch that?!

Location's a bit too Southern though for L.

No we won't - hopefully it's a 'general' thread, but just in case.

1970s - the three day week, Ted Heath and polyester. That's enough to keep us in the black and out of the grey isn't it?
