      i don't know, attenborough may now be the cuddly, comforting nature guy but in the '60s he was controller of BBC2 when all the 'radical' satirical comedy was kicking off: TW3, Frost Report etc. anyhoo, he obviously has an affinity with billy (and clive) here, so the 'fun' david comes out to play

    My memory of Clive James will always be dominated by his “Clive James On TV,” program from the 1980’s . Sadly all three of these legendary gentlemen are at a certain age now and this great generation is passing. I’m not absolutely confident the one that’s going to replace it is as worthy or equal to the task.

      There’s better tv now than there ever was. There’s just far more horseshit too. What depressed me was reading an interview from 2 weeks ago here in Ireland from Billy where he said political correctness was a good thing and that he’s sorry for the way he acted over the years. He owes zero of an apology for me. World is too quick to be offended these days.
