PAST-YOUR-BEDTIME BARBATHON with RORY “WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING?” MCGRATH, JIMMY “OWN COMPANY” MULVILLE, PHILIP “DID THE MUSIC” POPE, TONY “BALDRICK” ROBINSON and JULIA “2.4” HILLS. First series blessed with episode titles such as Who Dares Wins A Week In Benidorm and Who Dares Wins Frank Bough’s Cardigan. Not bad sub-NOT THE NINE stuff: sarky pandas, coffee ads, SAS, “Who The Fuck Are You?” song, Hamlet ad with crucified Jesus, Robinson’s arse on stage in Emperor’s new clothes sketch.

I remember the spin-off Who Dares Wins book, which took the form of a mushy romantic novel called ‘Throbbing Torment’ which had been turned into a scrapbook with bits and pieces plastered all over every page, in the manner of the Goodies’ books. A nice idea, but it looked like it had been done on a budget of tuppence, and a combination of poor quality printing and rough arse-wipe paper rendered some of it all but unreadable.
