    Yeah I'm a DB fan as well. He dropped off the radar for a while but seems to be turning up a little more now.

    He's a good 'un for sure.

    He was in there at the start of punk, although he plays down his part in it all now. And he recently survived cancer I believe.

    But I find it difficult to forgive him for the truly appalling Win Lose or Draw

    That's what happens when you have Mayans working at the network.  Without warning, the schedule ends, there's no explanation, and they're nowhere to be found.

    Does anyone remember that daytime game show that Danny Baker used to host? I seem to remember him drawing on a big sheet of paper with a black marker pen. 

    EDIT: I see Steve mentioned it. Win Lose or Draw. My god that was crap.

    Is it just me, or were the first two shows a competition to see who could say 'Bowie' the most?

    Did he get mentioned in the R'nB one? I turned it off.

    I only watched about 10 minutes of the R&B programme. Not really my cup of tea all that soul and funk.
     
    The first two episodes were ok-ish, DB certainly knows his stuff, but they weren't as interesting as I'd expected.
