the Mary Whitehouse Experience and Newman and Baddiel were great shows. I probably still have them on VHS somewhere.I was at that Rob Newman gig too. Recall people only got on board when he did that "Your mum" bit from the Newman & Badiell show. He was part of that Mary Whitehouse experience show before I think.
I honestly don't think Baddiel is a bad sort. I think he was genuinely sorry about what they did on that shit TV show, but the fact is they did it, and it can't be undone, so they need to own it. And the roots of that fucking dreadful song need to be made known, and fucking just cancel the shit out of it. Mostly so none of the rest of us ever have to hear it again.
