Press
There is a new series of Blankety Blank (BBC1), if you fancy that. This economical series is bomb-proof as it leans confidently on the personality of the presenter - Terry Wogan, Les Dawson and now Lily Savage. When Spike Milligan was on the Blankety Blank panel, he seemed out of place because he instinctively gave witty answers. Too late he realised that what was needed was the bleeding obvious.
