ROYAL VARIETY SHOW

[karl]

Did anyone watch this last night?

I decided to watch it and record Ripper Street.

I thought the show was ok, for once there was no "Top Of The Bill" unless you cound CHas & Dave being the final act but I think that was awarded to them for their time in the business.

Personbally I thought the MC was dreadful.

I did like Mary J Blige, don't know here that well but she has a great voice.

That's our Monday night too L and H preceded by a new series of Celebrity Eggheads.We should be 'Brains Of Britain' by now expect that we are finding the questions harder and harder.Or is that just our age

Last Tango In Halifax !

Sorry folks but did anyone watch the show? Eggheads is not the Royal Variety!!!!!

[Marian]

We watched the show Karl, but as usual I found it disappointing.

Going back to the Royal Variey show .............I watched an old episode of Bullseye on Challenge the other night from 1982 and Daphne from Eggheads was one of the contestants..........she looked a long younger (surprise surprise)

She appeared on many game shows in the past--and won a nice little stash of prizes.

I saw the first half hour then turned it over, but caught the last few minutes with Chas and Dave, I was surprised to see them top of the bill, but they were good. I caught the bit where Dame Edna invaded the Royal Box, that was funny.

[karl]

I was in the kitchen when that happened John andn I wanted to see it as they showed a trailer, I just caught the last few seconds. Surely Dame Edna must have done more than was shown on tv Seems a waste getting all made up for what was shown, I do realise the show is edited but I thought he would have topped the bill.

[mariana44]

Dame Edna also did a duet with Bryn Terfel--"there is nothing like a dame"

My favourite part was Andrew LLoyd Webber talking about his new musical, and a duet from the show--a beautiful song--called "the Other side of the sky" or something similar.

[karl]

Yes I saw the duet with Bryn Terfel, forgot about that until you said and I also thought the Stephen Ward musical looked good.
