I often wondered if his rants were off the cuff or written. I can imagine the script just saying [grimm rants] and getting David Haig to improvise so it sounded more real and natural. They may have written his first one and then every other time improvise. They were brilliant.

In my humble opinion one of the top comedy programmes of the past years. Fowler - brilliant, Goody- brilliant , Habib - brilliant, Dawkins lovely and brilliant, Kray - priceless Doyle, Gladstone etcetc , but Grim put the cream on all the comedy and bits of business! Wonderful entertainment. Set against a lot of the drivel of 2019/20 it’s still a gem! In trying to get the spelling of Habib, correct, I chanced upon an answer(on a BBC page) as to why the show was cancelled. It was in the form of a review. It was noted by the individual who penned the “review” twaddle, that Ben Elton was trying to recreate a Dads Army type show, and it didn’t work! Well whoever penned that thought needed to return to wherever he or she came from and retrain for another job! It was funny, and if that was what BE wanted to do he succeeded in spades. Save me from reviewers and commentators!
