The National Lottery Live - 30/11/1996

The infamous 107th draw in which the machine fails and the drawing is forced back almost an hour, Bob Monkhouse does a great job in making fun at the whole situation! Days later it was revealed the "random button pusher" was actually the mother of one of the production crew.

This is when there was a real audience - unlike today! And Bob Monkhouse is nothing short of brilliant!

I remember this. Bob Monkhouse mentioned the following week Guinevere's Problem. A micro switch on the service door at the back of the machine had failed.

Bob Monkhouse was a very funny man and had some fantastic one liners which made me laugh.
