THRILLER
Friday night is of course Comic Relief night.
It is also the night when the real King Of Comedy returns.
In parallel with the return of Michael Jackson, the King Of Pop, Norman Collier will be back on our screens to wipe the floor with the opposition.
Norman has a ten minute prime time slot on Relief which has the potential to reach a new generation who have become tired of modern comedy.
As Denise Welch said on Loose Women last week "Norman Collier is the funniest thing ever".
Too true. But ... will eighty three year old Norman be able to call the shots after being away for so long? We'll all find out on Friday night.
For anyone who is unfortunate enough to be too young to remember Norman, this is he:
I was having a conversation the other night in which it was suggested that Norman "has a chicken-like aspect" ...
This may explain why a large part of Norman's act consists of him impersonating a chicken. Indeed, the only other bit of his act is the bit where he pretends to have a faulty microphone.
Rest assured though, by the end of Norman's slot on Comic Relief, so-called modern *blue* comedians such as Russell Brand and Ricky Gervais will be blown out of the water and will just seem like a bad dream.
See you all there at 8.43 on Friday night.
As Norman would say, "I st l th Ki g, acc t no s bst tes, one two, one two".
