I’ve never heard The Smiths

Apr 22, 2009 by John    5 Comments    Posted under: music, tv

I know sometimes when a task is at hand, other activities take on a magnetic quality including the TV that you’ve been meaning to turn off – but Nigel Havers has been very entertaining on “I haven’t seen Star Wars yet”, a show where celebrities take on experiences not previously experienced.

• I can’t believe he hadn’t seen The Simpsons before. He gave it 11 out of 10.
• I can’t believe he got a tattoo of a scorpion on his arm, in the name of a TV show
• I can’t believe he never heard of The Smiths and thought they were rubbish. Particularly ripping apart, This charming man
• I can believe he never had Le Big Mac before

  Yeah, it’s a great concept. I saw Rory Bremner recently listening to Dark Side of the Moon (appreciated elements), watching Fawlty Towers (hated it) and going to the ballet (loved it). Also caught the end of someone eating roadkill that seemed a little outside of the remit of ‘standard cultural experience’ methinks. I’ve never ever eaten in McDonalds or KFC, never conscioulsy listened to ACDC, haven’t seen Dirty Dancing, hmm, this is a good game!

  I like Dave Gorman’s new show Genius, it’s on tonight. Dragn’s den meets Viz top tips.

  Dor – can’t believe the Karaoke Queen hasn’t seen Dirty Dancing! It’s my guiltiest of pleasures.

  Mine would have to be – never been to a Football match. Oh balls I’d love to sit hear and think of another two but there’s a big pooey nappy with my name on it. To be continued…
