I thought it was a better Morning Line today. Noted raconteur and wit Sir Mark Prescott was, as ever, good value as the main guest, waxing lyrical with his anecdotes. All the more amazing because his preferred sparring partner, Alastair Down, wasn’t even there.
Sir Mark even seems to have got into the spirit of things by seemingly borrowing Nick Luck’s trusty pair of tight-fitting jeans. I wondered why Nick wasn’t wearing jeans on last week’s programme. It looked like Lady Luck had been forced to hunt down and iron a new pair of jeans for hubby.
Tanya Stevenson didn’t disappoint in the bedding ring, in her ongoing quest to banish the letter "t" from use wherever possible. She did, however, inadvertently manage to say "Betfred", instead of "Bedfred", and also treated us to new pearls in the shape of "hoddest temperature", "lader on", "the quesdion has der be" and, my favourite this week, "Bernie the Bold", instead of "Bernie the Bolt". Bob Monkhouse would be impressed. That woman is the hoddest of the hod.
