Craig Charles

In that vein, I'll quickly wrap up to this point on this other thing.

So in 1992, possibly 1993, there was a show on in the BBC, again, written by a guy called Stephen Volk, who I've interviewed in the past, he's a wonderful guy, called Ghostwatch, which was a fictional... um you know live investigation into a into a haunted house and it had like celebrities on that people would recognize michael parkinson uh craig charles you know better than dave lister all these other people and then it escalates into this thing and there's the ghost called pipes and lots of people watch this thing not realizing it was a fiction and thought it was real um myself included sort of 10 year old me or 11 year old me watching this and going like what the hell is this oh my god Yeah.

No, seriously.

I was sent to bed halfway through it.

On SBC2 now, it's robot whores.

Teams of children compete to build the most effective sex robot, whilst watched by Craig Charles from Red Dwarf, who says, give them a round of applause when the robot can suck them off well.

I think the whores are not competing against each other directly, like in Robot Wars.

Look, it's my first day back as continuity announcer.

It's like, did you guys have access to those tapes at all to look at? Which clearly they did because they tried to bring some things back.

One of the first notes I had was, Depressed Dave Lister reads as very insincere to me, which is odd because Craig Charles at times has absolutely done the like, defeated like actually when he was missing Rimmer right yes I thought he did that really well like I thought that that felt I felt like that when he had his little dream and Rimmer kissed him it worked so well because he played it so straight

he's actually a really good actor to be fair I was watching it and he he plays it really really well like you like I don't know what else to say he's a really good actor he plays Lister as if Lister is a real character

He does, but something felt

guest hosts too for

that show i mean you had craig charles from red dwarf fame and jeremy clarkson from top gear fame as hosts in the past for that show mick foley from the wwe was a guest host when they were on tnn for a short time stuff like that so

didn't chris myers do the play-by-play not chris myers who am i thinking oh no chris myers is the guy on fox that calls the what's his name chris rose is it chris rose I don't know.

I don't know.

So no pressure there,

right? He's been described by Craig Charles as a brand new voice and a fresh perspective on the art of poetry and performance.

And we're really, really happy to have him on the series.

This is a poem by Bradley called Announcement.

friend of mine spent quite a long time on remand, a waiting trial, and you know who I'm talking about.

He was a bit of a TV star, Craig Charles.

He was accused of

rape.

But do you remember those Usborne books that were like, it was like a robot with like a big springy cock and it would go, do you remember

this? Craig Charles was the host, you remember.

A wooga.

A wooga.

I cook quite a lot more now in the week because obviously I can, but I used to cook on Saturday nights.

And one of the things I'd always have on is Radio 6, the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show, which I thought was always fantastic listening when you are cooking.

Yeah, I used to listen to

that.

So one of the things that I was listening to, In the Sun last week was one of the early ones.

It wasn't going to volume name.

It's just the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Classics, which is a load of various artists.

Fantastic, upbeat, funk and soul, as you'd expect from the title.
