wow, that is interesting info that Kenneth himself got Lorraine on the show. now that I think about it, it did seem that the two of them were on friendly terms anyway and it was also on one of those rare occasions when Kenneth didn't go into his tirade about not having women on the show, and even poked fun at her when she couldn't talk on the subject of 'Snuggling' which was very delightful in fact.

I also recall the Kenny Everett episode, I think he had potential, but I think the rules were a bit restricting for Kenny though.

another person that comes to mind is Fenella Fielding, who made one appearance way back in 1969, the poor woman hesitated, repeated and deviated all the way through, but was so damn funny, not even Kenneth challenged her, he was too busy laughing. she had such a lovely voice and a lovely presence on the show it was just delightful.

that's one of my favourite programmes - in the diaries Kenneth says it
was he that asked the producer to include her on the show. I thought
Lorraine was delightful and if memory serves she did come second, albeit
with some help from the others!
