Last night, I saw Almost Famous Again (BBC Two, Monday, 13 April, 10.30pm) which THIS IS THE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE WHOLE THING IS ABOUT EH?ne of those shows that features clips of famous people before they were famoHAR! HAR! THE JOKE I'M TALKING OVER IS AN ABSOLUTE ROTTER!urse, with this being a clip show, it means that it needed someone to provide an amusing voice-over. With Jimmy Carr busy playing tennis with Jonathan RosTENNIS EH? LA-DI-DA!hired the amazingly inane Ralf Little who can't get a job for love nor money at the moment. Naturally, with GOD! IMAGINE TAKING A CRUDDY JOB LIKE THATa clip show, the other vital ingredient is that we need to have seen all the clips befoTHIS IS SOOO FUNNY!
The clips featured a whole host of mildly amusing reels, presumably found in a skip, including celebrities like IS THAT THE BLOKE OFF THAT SHOW? WHAT A TOOL!m Marsh, TAP-DANCING?

Like, can you even imagine that a young, ambitious person might take a load of crappy jobs to make their way up? It's hilaDID YOU READ THAT? JESUS! IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER READ!
I'll tell THIS IS THE BIT WHERE YOU LAUGH AT SOME DUTCH ADVERTt's funny that a show like this should snort and hoot at those who have done crappy jobs on the ascent to real stardom, when the really tragic thing we should all be laughing at is the spectacular fall from gracHOW FUNNY!

Imagine that eh? Wouldn't it get on your nerves? For fuP45! P45!sakeWHAT'S THIS P45 FOR? I EVEN INCLUDED MYSELF SHOW HOW SELF DEPRICATING I AM!
