Will this be his legacy? - Tony Blair and Catherine Tate
The Tony Blair/Catherine Tate sketch from last night's Red Nose Day programming. I think he does the "am I bovvered" thing well. Political participation in entertainment has certainly come a long ways since Denis Healey gave the line "I can't seem to budge it" in a Nationwide panto.....

Thanks Jams - Comic Relief passed me by entirely so it's good to see that - worth a donation I think! Cheers, John
Well, I don't know who Ross Kemp is. And the Cockney accent was difficult for me to decipher. The clip still made me laugh though. Do you want to know why? My oldest daughter is named Lauren. Oh, how familiar to hear her blather on.....and on....and on and I keep trying to interrupt with "Lauren. Lauren. Lauren, can you hear me, Lauren?" and she continues right ahead without even pausing. Maybe I'll have to tell her that I'm not bothered from now on.
Glad you liked it John, your phothopped pic of Cameron in Bullingdon club gear is great!
Ross Kemp was in one of britain's main soaps - Eastenders and has played hard men in other programmes. Catherine Tate has a popular comedy show.. Lauren is one of her main characters.. so get the cockney accent and say Am I bovvered? but am I bovvered.. that will get Sunbum's attention!
