I feel like this is something that has aged spectacularly badly or is missing some critical context...

I watched it in disbelief. It would have been bad even when it was made!

I think it might be a not very subtle way of our rusted correspondent saying he's a homophobe.

No Randy , not a homophobe, just a hetero home sapiens. That video would not be allowed today , it was made for Irish TV by David McSavage in a series some years ago , eventually ( not too long after this episode ) the series was pulled . You should have seen what way he treated the catholic church ! but it was totally justified in that case

Thanks for the 'splain. I know who David McSavage is.

Another comedian who blames "cancel culture" for an ailing career.

I'll bet nobody remembers Mike Duff, top motorcycle racer in the 60's who became Michelle Duff.

Mike Duff is a name I remember from the Phil Read/ Mike Hailwood era. I don’t remember the sex change though!

There’s a nice account of Mike’s/Michelle’s story here: https://www.ttwebsite.com/features/0280.php

It's described as a satirical comedy show. I was trying to work out what the satire was in that sketch, as it just appears to just be homophobia. I was allowing that that it might be that the person running the farm was a caricature of a loathed politician or there was some other point to it at the end after it was cut off...

Yes it was a dig at an infamous politician/farmer back in the day who was less than kind to his livestock among other things

What did you mean by linking to a massively homophobic comedian?

Jeeez.. you're getting all flustered , hope you're not going to hit me with your handbag now

You're doing nothing to dispel your homophobic image with that comment...

I seem to have entered the wrong group, can someone direct me to the motorsport section, please.

So who is Sainz going to sign for , if he is not careful he might end up with no drive at all and that would be a shame, unless he is going to join his dad inn the Ford Raptor in rally raids
