[Spicy]

John Cleese definitely. Ricky Gervais - not yet!!

 

[clapham_gull]

.. sorry I just turned this on. Is this a celebration of ITV or something...

both very much BBC stars ?

 

[Dez]

leave it out - Gervais is hilarious. Hardly ITV though.

 

[surrey jim]

The office was on BBC1 and Extras on BBC2, cant remember what Fawlty towers was on tho

 

[clapham_gull]

Alan Whicker ? BBC surely... ?

 

[SK1NT]

im sure Gervais was joking when he said comedy legends.


Fawlty Towers BBC all over just as is Gervais. Doesmn't make sense they are on there

Brucie had a long stint on BBC as well.

Perhaps you only needed to make the 10 o'clock news to get on this program.

 

[Bozza]

You forget Ricky's stint on the "11 o'clock show" or whatever it was called on Channel 4 and then his own chat show, also on Channel 4?

Both Independent TV, if not on ITV as such.

 

[Stevie Boy]

i have to say i dont find either of them funny.

I agree 50% with this comment.

Ricky Gervais is not funny.....FACT.

John Cleese is extremely funny.....FACT

The way he played a castle guard with a stupid French accent in Monty Python and the Holy Grail was absolutely hilarious.

And for those who are old enough to remember the radio show "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" with Radio Prune. It's a gem. I suggest the younger generation find a copy from somewhere and listen to it.

Correction, John Cleese USED to be funny. He's not now. Ricky Gervais co-wrote & starred in one of the best British comedies of all time - but isn't a naturally fun person either

I was initially only questioning why so many BBC stars were on a programme celebrating ITV. No whether any were funny.

Eric Sykes ?

it may be because of the lack of comedians associated with ITV. Come on how many truly legendary comedians or did their best work for ITV?

i just got the impression that it was a hall of fame type thing irrespective of what channel they appeared on.
