And so we say farewell to The Jack Docherty Show, one of the two things I watch on Channel 5. Docherty says it will be replaced by Titty O'Tits Big World of Tits, which sounds all too likely. Cheap, cheerful and late-at-night, it could take more risks than your average chat show. Sometimes they worked. Sometimes not. Docherty once went on holiday, leaving the unknown Graham Norton in charge .

It was Norton who won Best Newcomer in the British Comedy Awards. That was probably Docherty's best ever joke.
