Looking for a clip I remember from ‘The Club’ in Bang, Bang. Can’t find it when skipping through the individual episodes and it’s not on ‘The Club’ special.
Paul Baron is leading Les Dennis into the club. Heading up the stairs, Paul asks Les if he’s been to Baron’s Nightclub before. Les replies asking if it had had a different name. ‘Do you know what, Les, I don’t think it was.’ is Paul’s response. The scene ends with Les explaining, ‘I was doing a gig, mate.’
It’s brilliant but I can’t find it. Does anyone else remember it? Would love to see it again! Any help much appreciated.
Two more heroes who have fallen in the Vukkle wars.
April Pearson's (aka Michelle from Skins) podcast is back with its second episode. Interviewing Family Fortunes maestro Les Dennis
Is there anything this man hasn't done? Wouldn't be surprised if he has participated in the Olympics at some point
He was shopping in New Bond Street and spending a shit load of cash, all right? So put that in. Make sure you put that in
Back in 2002 when Les Dennis was on Celebrity Big Brother he was mocked by the tabloids (mostly Piers Morgan) with headlines calling him 'The Most Pathetic Man in Britain' and after the show finished (apparently he came runner up) I remember him poking fun at himself on either a chat show or sketch show. It was a really short segment that cut to Dennis sitting on a bar stool with a spotlight on him, looking miserable and for some reason wearing an OTT Elvis style jump suit, the opening chords/intro to Nirvana's 'Lithium played and Les sung the first couple of lines "I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends, They're in my head, I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you, We've Broke our mirrors" the audience laughed and cheered then it either cut to another sketch or back to the studio but I can't remember what show it was from.
Looking at his wiki I can't see much that he was on around 2002 unless they aren't listing everything, he was on Ricky Gervais' 'Extras' a few years later and I'm pretty sure it wasn't on that show.
Please can someone help me with this one?
He already:
Demonstrated value by becoming an All-Pro NFL running back with the Steelers.
Engaged them physically with his many touchdown celebrations.
Nurtured their dependence by making his teammates think he would come back before Labor Day, as he's done before.
Neglected them emotionally by holding out, tweeting a monocle emoji after the Steelers tied the Browns, and avoiding all contact with the Steelers.
Inspired hope by coming back to Pittsburgh and tweeting positive messages about his teammates as they beat Carolina.
Which means the last step is to...
Separate entirely.
