Re: New TV Programme
Now then, I’m not too sure about all these new-fangled television programmes, certainly ones where you don’t know whether the cameras are there or not.
I tell you something, if Channel 4 put a hidden camera in Aunt Fanny’s bungalow they’d get a nasty shock. They go on about this Big Brother and how they shouldn’t show these young ‘uns having a bit of nooky, but that’s a regular occurance round at Aunt Fanny’s, particularly when the North Lancashire Veterans’ Brass Band is in town.
Anyways, Aunt Fanny’s a television star in her own right. Not only did I appear on the television when Preston were in the FA Cup final in 1964, serving tea and digestives on the team bus, but I often worked as an extra for Granada television.
Oh yes, Aunt Fanny’s had a nice glass of sherry in the Woolpack and the Rovers Return – I even got chucked off set for pinching Kenneth Barlow’s bum – ooooh lovely he were (but a bit fat nowadays for my liking).
And there was also the time I was in the audience for A Question of Sport and peed myself laughing but I don’t like to talk about that really. A Question of Sport isn’t funny now, not like the old days.
That’s all by the by though, I’m sure that Aunt Fanny would be much better in this television programme than that spotty young Gale character or that Gypo who seems to play football a lot. He should know better at his age and someone should tell him that old fellas just don’t suit long hair. And it looks greasy too.
I could talk about Tommy Finney or the FA Cup final in 1954 when we got cheated by West Bromwich or the time Harry Hubbick tried to get familiar with Aunt Fanny in the broom cupboard after training if they like.
