zabadak 9th Jun 2015		Like BBP, watched it, no memory of it... :erk:



Monolith 8th Jun 2015		I think the most well known image on TV is the sight of Ross's soles as he climb up the rear end of whichever guest he has on that week. "So wonderful to have you on the show, I absolutely luv all your movies/records/books/tv series. Everything you've ever done is the best thing the world has ever witnessed and the viewers and I are just so fortunate to be in your company". Then all you can hear is him mumbling from inside the aforementioned orifice.



BiggieTembo 8th Jun 2015		Aye, big ego, yes, but not as ginormous as Chris Evans', or annoying as Wogan, or some of the smug, self-glad American talkshow hosts (come on, Letterman's head was so far up his 'arris...). Love Ross or Hate Ross, The Last Resort was a great show to hear the newest comedy and great live music, when there was a near-enough ban on live performance on the other channels. There was also some great themes to the show too - LR 2081 was an edition of the show direct from The Future, and they did a 70s-themed one where Ross looked like Dennis Waterman and Lenny Henry appeared with the world biggest afro. We can slag off Ross all we like but remember this - Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer had their TV debut on his show - I can clearly recall a pss-take of Opportunity Knocks, named Knock-Down Ginger!* where Reeves played Remembro - The Memory Man: Remembro (Darlington accent): Now, I'm trying t' remember tha name a' this fella... Ooh what was it again... uhmm.. (Kathy Burke also played a role as Perry The Pre-Pubescent Schoolboy on this skit). AND if it wasn't for Ross, we wouldn't have had Vic Reeves' Big Night Out ;-)



Monolith 8th Jun 2015		If only his talent was as big as his ego.



biffbampow 8th Jun 2015		I know I saw some of these at the time, but have virtually no memory other than even then I wondered who on Earth thought giving Woss a job on TV was a "good idea" - nope... am struggling to think of any standout moments!
