I remember watching the Stars in your Eyes sketch first time round. Possibly my favourite Reeves and Mortimer sketch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy FFC Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I saw him tonight on Would I Lie to You going on about giving Damon Hill a scotch egg. Brilliant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Glad this thread has been bumped because I wanted to put this on "Last book.you've read" but that's too intellectual for me. Has anyone read Bob's book, The Satsuma Complex? Great read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Spent about an hour earlier scrolling the Bob Mortimer Twitter trend watching various clips. An absolute treasure of a man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Athletico Mince is also absolutely brilliant. Roy Hodgson getting booze during lockdown had me in tears. See also all the Peter Beardsley stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I haven't even listened to that, but the very thought of it has me chuckling. His sanguine delivery of absurd comedy is part of his genius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eindhovendee Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Got his autobiography as an audio book for my holiday flight to Turkey, the first time I'd tried audiobooks and it is read by Bob which is brilliant as you can tell how heartfelt some of the situations he reads about are. It wouldn't be Bob though if there were no absurd moments and this little story had my 13 yo young lass beginning to panic as I turned red and had tears in my eyes as I read it. I'd already held in a few guffaws leading to this but this let it all out. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Any chance the thread title can be changed to "Bob Mortimer - not dead"? I get the fear every time I see it jump to the next unread thread. I also feel he would appreciate such a title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbaxters Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 After reading the thread recently, I re-watched the WILTY Egg in the Bath sketch on YT. Probably laughed just as much as I did the first time. When you know the outcome (i.e. Truth or Lie. Won't spoil it) it makes it even more genius. He is an absolute master at that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
