Probably laxative chocolates behind each door, I don't need them as just seeing him gives me the shits.

Do I sense a fellow Viz reader in our midst?
A publication far superior to that rag Mcn.

Finbarr Saunders and his double entendres, which reminds me of an old classic use of that genre but likely to be knobbled by political correction now.

Beautiful women walks into a cocktail bar, invited by the barman to make selection from those listed on the blackboard of currently available cocktails, took her time, intrigued by some of the more obscure, asked for a "double entendre" at which point the barman gave her one.

I feel Henry Cole does a very good job of both bringing these topic to mainstream programming, along with his presentation.  Pitcing any program at all to tv scheduled viewing is not easy to accomplish as the only topic they deal with is drama (think about that for a while) everything is just suspense, leading to drama and then denouement, all within 1/2 hour slots neatly packaged between advertising delivery.

Notice how any vehicle in any program/film is used for this ploy of "will it start, won't it start" scenario and most likely to crash in flames in a feature film ? It's just what the dramatist in TV program understand. The vehicle is just drama fodder in their minds.

Without Henry, no one would even see Alan, Sam, Guy etc on any mainstream programming, each of them clever in their own knowledgeable way.
I dont read it as disparaging in any way toward his co presenters, they clearly have a good time with him and with some subtle jokes about his lack of specific knowledge along with short attention span delivered in friendly humour towards Henry. 
A very welcome addition to tv programming in my view, instead of the general fodder offered over most channels.
I watch Henry's programme because he brings us Allen,Sam and Guy,

Henry's attitude is his TV persona,

I have met him and he is as nice as pie,
