In spite of the 1950's calling and asking him to go back, he's been getting away with this for years - there were posts on here years ago where posters were aghast at what he'd said on screen at IW so he has form for this kind of behaviour. What always amazed me was that he'd often say dubious things before the watershed, but there never seemed to be any comebacks and it was repeato ditto the following evening. You can only wonder why he's not been reprimanded for his 'hilarious' humour. He was always telling everyone about his long and illustrious
experience on television and I would have thought he was older than 60, he seems to have been around forever.
