Fast Show Reunion

Went to the Fast Show one-off at the Dominion Theatre last night, shamelessly plugging their DVD box-set due out for Xmas.

The entire cast reunited (bar Hooky's ex, but then she left them after one or two series anyway, didn't she?) for the first time in 10 years.

As it was in the past, bit hit and miss.

All the old characters though - 13th Duke of Wybourne, Dave Angel, Jesse's diets, Ron Manager, Monkfish, Colin Hunt, Rowley Birkin.

Hilites were the Suit You lads with David Tennent playing their stooge and then Paul Weller(!) turning up at Jazz Club.

My favourite was always Billy Bleach though, and he was soooperb last night - he's gone into 'drama' now so acted out his own one-man play.

Big finale with the Channel 9 crew, and then Ted and Ralph to close.

Saw John Thompson outside a pub in London just before the New Order meet up at the Chandos. I think that was the Finsbury weekend.

We were inside having a swally, he was outside sober, he was all over the press at that time fer being an alky.......which was ironic.

Was a big fan of TFS. Jesse's Diets being my fave.
