The audience cheer and whoop and scream and cry and practically faint with hysteria over just about every meaningless sentence uttered. You have to wonder what they're on.<br />I was trying to find that Alas Smith & Jones sketch from years back which parodied that kind of OTT audience response, way ahead of its time, can't find it but maybe you remember the one?Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815567696079354237.post-77512594664224113672021-11-30T21:36:31.810+00:002021-11-30T21:36:31.810+00:00Washing up doesn't count, sorry!

I can't bear the noise of it, even from the other room. It wasn't like that on The Generation Game.
