Tiswas featuring Palin
For our American friends who might not know what Chris Tarrant looks or sounds like in the 21st century, ITV (presumably, as the eventual successor to ATV and Carlton) did a Tiswas reunion special a few years ago. I found this part on YouTube, and it includes a very politically incorrect rant against the French by Michael Palin toward the end.

I would kill for comedic timing like his.
Well, okay, maybe not kill, but perhaps maim a bit...
It seems to be the way of British television: the enfants terribles of the early days all get travel shows and documentaries to host in their old age. Or they get knighthoods.
