Re: Who would be a good player?

there are so many people aren’t there.

I used to love Morecambe and Wise, and would love to have heard Eric Morecambe on with Kenneth. Yes I know, the M&W shows were scripted, but by all accounts Eric was a great ad libber too.

What about Tommy Cooper...

Larry Grayson or Danny LaRue would have been interesting competition for Kenneth...

Spike Milligan would have been very funny – but would he have adapted to the structured environment?

Bruce Forsyth also comes to mind.

I know this will appeal to some of you too – wouldn’t it have been interesting if Frank Muir and Dennis Nordern had appeared on a show with say Kenneth and Clement. We can dream, can’t we...

struggling to think of women candidates!

Of those named so far, John Junkin, Barry Cryer, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Willie Rushton did do the show with varying degrees of success... I thought Tim in particular was very good on it. Graeme and Barry were also pretty good.

Do you mean Roy Hudd?
I do indeed remember John Junkin.

Some more to consider:
The cast of ISIHAC - they have to be quick-thinking to do that.
Tony Hancock would have been useless, he needed a script and even had to read them on TV at the end!
Eric Sykes, a script writer so may have been good at it.
My all-time hero - Spike Milligan, again a script writer and used to a lot of ad-libbing on The Goons. Maybe that would have been a good skill to have for this.
