I watched it, because it has been a bloody long time since he was allowed to be on the TV, and I wasn't fond of him, so had to dip the toe again. I was also dragged along to see him live a couple of times, and found half of it simple one liners, and half just nasty bile.

I can't deny that some of the 'regular' jokes were quite funny, but there was still a lot of hatred in the stuff he did. He admitted as such, in effect, because if he were as clever a comedian as people say, he wouldn't have been as stupid as he was on national TV in the 90's.

He was a great deliverer of a gag, beyond doubt, but to me, he was nasty, despite all the "Goodnight everybody" lark at the end.
