Mike Keenan's Biased Ramble

With Michael Burke


Tonight the amazing story of Jeremy, a man.

Jeremy's story begins on a cold winter night when he accidentally locked himself in a coal bunker with Les Dennis and Angela Rippon. Here's his story.
" Well it was a cold night, like many that winter and I decided to go outside and stroke, er, stoke the boiler. It was dark outside so I took a stick of French bread and made my way down to the bunker. "

When Jeremy reached the bunker something strange happened.

" Yeah, well it must have been the fumes or something because I suddenly came over all funny. "

Jeremy in a fit of coal induced stupidity threw two of the 80's favourite presenters into the coal bunker and followed slamming the door behind him. His wife, Jean, was the first to discover the tragedy.

" Well I got a bit worried when he didn't come back for six hours and so I took the spare French bread and went to look for him. When I got to the bunker there was shouting coming from inside it and that's when I realised that Angela Rippon was telling stories about that dire gameshow she presented that filled the pre-news slot where they now show Neighbours. I was so scared that I just broke down and cried. "

But help was at hand. The fearless men of the South Wales Fire Brigade shot to the scene. Here is the Chief Officer to explain,

" Yeah well it took us a while to get there, Boy-o. You know, Because they live in Surrey. Surely they would have been better sending the Surrey Fire Service. Anyhow we got the cutting equipment out straight away. Because we like cutting stuff up. But his wife suggested we make the bold move of going to the kitchen for the spare key. Now we had to discuss this at length because, you know, it was a long way back and all the batteries had run out in the onions. I had my men's lives to thing about. Some of them have got families. And most of them have sheep at least."

The Chief decided to make the bold move when he heard Les Dennis start on his memories of Dustin Gee.

" Well, you know, I realised at that point that Jeremy's sanity was at stake so I sent my two best men back for the key, Boy-o. "

In ten more excruciating minutes Jeremy was released unharmed, and Les Dennis was returned to the set of Family Fortunes without further delay.

Unfortunately this happy ending was tinged with sadness. Vets, after hours of work, finally decided that Angela Rippon should be put down.

It was for the best.

There were complaints however that Rolf Harris was allowed to be present.
