30 de may. de 2006 · Bob Monkhouse's grandfather was the founder of Monk & Glass custard powder firm, I can see the packet now, it was yellow and had a monk in a brown habit carrying a glass dish of custard. We nearly always had M & G when I was a child but I think the firm must have been merged with another as it seemed to disappear.
6 de feb. de 2011 · I appreciate Bob Monkhouse more now than I did when he was popular, he was rather of his time. He should though be respected as a gag writer and for his dedication. He wasn't an intrinsically funny man like for instance Eric Morecambe. But he was a master of witty one-liners and quick retorts.
The impression, probably unintentionally, was given that The Golden Shot began with Bob Monkhouse as host but that dubious honour was actually given to Canadian actor/producer Jackie Rae, who presented the first 14 shows. TBH he never really looked comfortable and BM lifted it several notches when he took over.
6 de feb. de 2011 · I liked Bob Monkhouse - partly because my Dad was a big fan. I find all the negative comments on here quite upsetting actually. I suppose some people didn't like his persona when he was on-stage, too obvious that it was an act and he was working.
5 de feb. de 2011 · The fascinating thing about the programme "The Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse" is the incredible archive he kept ,which no-one else did, of British TV shows. Obsessive about it, he was. He kept stuff on film and later video that BBC/ITV channels destroyed and that archive has to be preserved.
17 de ago. de 2012 · He told a funny anecdote in the 'Audience with' episode he was the subject. It was about an irritable caller with a heavy Birmimgham accent perfectly done by Bob, to the 'Golden Shot' in which, it emerged during Bob's account, he was calling from a phone box using the TV sets in Rumbelows window.
26 de dic. de 2016 · I grew up watching Bob Monkhouse on The Golden Shot, then Celebrity Squares, Family Fortunes etc, but I always thought he was smarmy and insincere and rather irritating. I didn't think he was much better on his eighties chat show either. It was only when he returned to standup in the nineties that I realised what a great comedian he was.
29 de dic. de 2003 · Bob Monkhouse has passed away this morning after a two and a half year fight against cancer. I for one regardeded him as one of the very best, no one could beat his excellent timing and incredible wit.
27 de jul. de 2024 · Bob Monkhouse - king of the quiz shows. Really enjoyed Call My Bluff although I didn't get many right.
11 de dic. de 2007 · Yes Daviel, that's another legendary Alan Brazil faux pas - unfortunately I didn't hear it at the time and (so far) have been unable to track down the mp3.
