Thanks MFR..I know the type of comedian you mean. I suspect Mitch was being sarcastic referring to Les Dawson. Have since spoke to Janet and she thinks he was doing a Tommy Cooper impersonation too.
I'll have to wait until you get your Mitch DVDs Kay and Karen before you can tell me what you think. Did you get Tommy Cooper on TV over there I wonder?
