LOL HARD!!!!!.....These are comedy genious.........very funny.....papalazarouuu...is that dave!!! Haton in Derbyshire is the village where they filmed it.....it is a real nice villlage.
ohh kids these days dont appriciate good music black lace smoky yes its a shit business les should be happy hes out of it at the right time like blair did ha
i know how he feels,i've been there-the clock waits so patiently on your song....constantly reliving the glory days,stuck in 1981,to me he's one of the least grotesque characters,superbly played and imagined,full of melancholy pathos
Is this character based on Alan Barton? He was in both Smokie and Black (Agadoo) Lace and was in the Eurovision contest (not just the heats!) in 1979 - even had the same haircut. Sadly I think he was killed in a tour bus accident.
Len McDougall was the finest rhythm guitarist since that bloke in Black Lace.I saw him smash his Strat to pieces on stage at Bognor town hall in 1981,he'd slipped on some sick....and the rest is history....
one of the few characters in the league who was a good man : P

Haton? Never heard of it.
TLoG was filmed in Hadfield, near Glossop, Derbyshire, about 5 miles from where I live.

I love this sketch, but it wasn't 'Aire FM' in 1981! It was plain old 'Radio Aire!' back then.

Radio Aire didn't launch until Sep 1st 1981, so wasn't around in April for Eurovision anyway.

Of all the LOG characters Les depresses me the most. Poor bastard with his irrepressible hope. Theres just nothing for him
