The Entertainer

Speaking of Henry Kelly, the country could do worse than his none threatening, light hearted form on television these days. There's not many presenters of European themed game shows who when speaking to a Dutch man would have the nerve to make the brave observation that everyone is thinking.

Henry. So, I see you're from the Netherlands. I don't suppose you wear clogs, do you?

Dutch Contestant. Not these days, no.


Just give him some TV space. He was one of the less funny ones on Game For a Laugh. He's been called many things, tosser, wanker, and even a cheat, after it reportedly emerged in 1988 that he had been cheating on his wife. But hey, I'm sure we can give hima chance, even if we put him in a new production of The Entertainer, Irish accent an all. Imagine him delivering the line, 'I'd rather have a glass of beer.' (You have to be there).

Failing this he has taken on a new momentum on the web, courtesy of sites such as http://spacemonkeys.freewebspace.com/news.html which take Henry Kelly admiration to serious heights of worship, including audio snippets, images and even in sharing the proud news that Henry Kelly came '7th in the recent most attractive voice on radio Radio Times readers' poll. He finished above such reknowned broadcasters as Nicky Campbell, Steve Wright and Ed Stewart.'


On the subject of another Kelly, my mate reckons that Lorraine Kelly gets more and more sexy with every passing child she drops. Now that would be a lovely thing for Mrs Kelly's husband to observe, but coming from a 32 year old bloke on the dole with debts, seems somewhat disconcerting.
