Ricky has pretty well dropped David’s name in all of his recent interviews on TV and radio in the UK, and the story hit the UK press with a bit in The Sun yesterday.
I asked DB if there was any substance to the story, and this was his measured response: “This may happen, yes. But it’ll depend on what the weathers like next year.” So let’s pray the climate is pleasing to DB in 2006 as my mind is already working overtime trying to imagine what kind of character would be created for him.

Ricky must be applauded for persuading Les Dennis to get his clobber off if nothing else…and for the incredible faces he pulls himself as a camp Genie of the Lamp in the same episode, which was one of the funniest things I’ve seen on TV, ever.
