4. You stupid boy.
5. Lovely Jubbly.
6. Boom Boom!
7. Well, I never....
8. Power to the people!
9. ...And it's goodnight from him.
10. He's from Barcelona.
11. How tickled I am.
12. I've started so I'll finish.

Good effort, Gooner!
Spot on with #'s 1,2,3,6,8,9,10,15 and 18.
Not quite on #s 13,14 and 16.
I'm waiting for United and Trev to chip on this one too.
You may have another answer for 14, but that phrase is definitely in the Ann Elk sketch.
13. Leonard Rossiter?
16. Hughie Green?
7. Michael Crawford?
I believe that Anne Elk said, "The theory what I wrote....and is mine....ahem ahem...etc." whereas this is "The play what I wrote." Guess again.
Absolutely right on Leonard Rossiter, from Rising Damp. Also right on Hughie Green, from Opportunity Knocks.
And Frankie Howard was correct for #7, not #6. I thought you had him right at first. I thought "Boom Boom" would've been easy for you after your antics with Mom and Dad in Scotland.
Where are you, Davey boy?
What do you mean waiting on United? I SENT YOU DAMN EMAIL WITH OVER HALF THE ANSWERS ROBERT!!!
On the blog, mate. On the blog. You're not blocked now are you now. And you didn't get all of them in the email did you? What did Debbie have to say?
Ok, here we go. I got these with little help from Debs.
1) Bruce Forsythe- The Generation Game
2) Frankie Howerd
3) Mr. Humphries- Are You Being Served?
4) Captain Mannering-Dad's Army (said to a West Ham Fan)
5) Delboy Trotter- Only Fools and Horses
6) Basil Brush
7) Larry Grayson(?)
8) Wolfie Smith- Citizen Smith
9) Ronnie Barker to Ronnie Corbett- The Two Ronnies
10) Basil Fawlty- Fawlty Towers
11) Ken Dodd
12) Magnus Magnusson- Mastermind
13) Reginald Perrin- Leonard Rossiter
14) Ernie Wise - Morcambe and Wise
15) Spike Milligan-The Goons
16) ?
17) Chris Tarrant- Tiswas
18) Daleks- Dr. Who
Very, very good effort from you and Debs. One correction, though. Switch Frankie Howard and Larry Grayson - they're very similar performers, so that's difficult.
And Gooner got #16 - it's Hughie Green from Opportunity Knocks - said to the judges on that "talent show."
Well done, lads.
