As some wag opined a remake of "The Hobbit" with Bob as Bilbo would be the greatest artistic endeavour of the 21st Century. Peter Jackson, make it happen.

Watched a fishing escapade last night. A very talented 'comedian' who shows you don't need to have an edge to be very funny.

Isn't there a new series of Gone Fishing coming soon?

His appearances on Would I lie to you have had me in tears. He is so funny . The Chris Rea putting an egg in his bath tale was superb.

The fireworks incident is 100% true. I know one of his brothers and about 25 years ago we were discussing house contents insurance and was it a rip-off. He said "You should ask our mam about the time our Robert set fire to her house....".

If you haven't seen Bob on WILTY here is a compilation of some of the classic "Montimerian Tales"...

 

[Laughing]

There is something inherently funny about him, even when he is not telling jokes. WILTY is a great example of what a story teller he is. Just the names he makes up, Harry Cheeseman who was nicknamed cheesy because his mum sent him out with a dairylea triangle, sergeant Bytheway, micky the drink, to name but a few.

I think they were all true apart from one.
(I don't want to spoil it for those yet to watch the compilation above).

I often watch repeats of that show when he's on, they have me and the wife buckled with laughter. The man is comedy genius. The egg story and the hair cutting story are pure gold

"Sniper's dream" has to be my favourite name from his Tales.

Some of the early episodes of Athletico Mince have me in stitches, genius is an over used word but absolutely apt for Bob.
