And now it's time for the obituaries Frank and Denis prepared earlier in the programme.

They were very funny in their heyday, but in the end were aptly christened Frank Snore and Denis Boredom.

A subtle kind of humour not appreciated by / out of touch for modern tastes but I found both Nordern and Skinner very amusing and entertaining in their own way in their heyday.

Did the train jump the rails just then?

I think Denis Norden went on too long, but perhaps he enjoyed it and was topping up his grandchildren's inheritance package. He can't have been doing it because he needed the money!

The Spanish inquisition was amusing and entertaining in its heyday.

Has Frank Skinner died as well? Frank Muir possibly.

OK OK
It was early and I hadn't had my coffee yet and I got confused, it happens at my age, as my kids keep mentioning :-)

Surely you don’t mean Frank Skinner. One of the funniest comedians around. His Saturday morning show and Podcast on Absolute radio are brilliant.
