Comedy awards 12 November 2008
Today, I took part in a tribute being out together for the British Comedy Awards to honour Geoffrey Perkins the Wonder Producer killed in a road traffic accident earlier this year while SO young (mid 50s). It was great to be able to talk about and remember this utterly charming and utterly talented man. I did say at one point that he was super for a bit of gossip, though I must stress he wasn’t A Gossip – rather he knew lots and was always quite candid. I’ve also found that a good question will usually yield dividends and he was a great person to ask a question of.
Madly, at the recording, I learned a bonkers but totally logical fact – Australia has washable money…absolutely NOTHING to do with the job in hand.
And no, I asked (of COURSE), there’s no word on who will present this year’s awards now that Jonathan Ross has stepped down. I did point out that I am free then…AVAILABLE…
