Friday Night Dinner 4 trailer

Very excited about this series…

Who needs Saatchi & Saatchi?

Thanks to Matt Lucas for this great find. Matt told me to watch right through to the very end. And that I did. And how I howled at the last 3 seconds.

So this is what our parents get up to at the weekend

Such a strange song and such a strange video – plus some seriously strange guitaring. All in all – perfection.

Thanks to @RealDaveNaylor for this.

The most unappealing recipe clip online

I’ve posted a video from this chap before. But this takes some beating. Look out for the fingers. Bon appetit!

See me with Richard Herring Sun Oct 11th…

I’m really excited to be a guest on Richard Herring’s amazing podcast this Sunday. I’ve been a huge fan of Richard’s for years. He’s ridiculously funny. Anyway, it’s at the Leicester Square Theatre in London – so why not pop along? This Sunday, 11th Oct at 4. Tickets are right here. Hope to se you there.

And here’s Robin Cooper calling the theatre to ask a few important questions…

Well done to the lovely lady at the theatre. I thought she was wonderfully polite.

Elsie wins the Spanish Lottery

Back in 2009, I received a letter from a ‘Mr Don Luis Lopez’ claiming I’d won the Spanish lottery. It gave a telephone number, which I called – as Robin Cooper – and it resulted in a series of quite mental phone calls which I made for the BBC

Well, today I received a letter from a Mr ‘Antonio Lucas’ also claiming I’d won the Spanish lottery, so I called again. And… it’s the same chap! Anyway, this time I was ‘Mrs Elsie Drake’, a 104-year old woman.

I will call over the next few days as the great-great-grandson, and see what occurs. So watch this space.

Ah… the good old days

This is so awful for every reason. But also so fantastic. But also so awful…

My favourite is the thin guy with glasses and bow tie at 06:26. Who is he?! Update: thanks all – yes, he played Adrian Mole. I thought I recognised him. Rolf Harris though, eh?

Badgers

I’ve posted some great comedy stuff made by Darren Dutton before. Well, he’s outshone himself this time with this lovely, very silly, rural funny.

This makes me want to live in a cave

Here’s ex-Blue Peter presenter, Simon Groom, destroying an Elvis classic. Stick around for the weirdly rehearsed chat afterwards. Just skip to 01:02.

A Blue Peter badge to Chuck Thomas for this horror.

O’ Robin Hood

Well, this bloke is just great. His name’s Peter Parsons, and well, I really don’t know what else to say…

And while you’re here, you might like this one too.

Thanks to Tom
