The TV Cream Advent Calendar: Door 20

It's more than high time for an appearance from Sir Bob Monkhouse:

December 1995
"What a peculiar year it's been. Tory Party Chairman Brian Mawhinney had paint lobbed over him by protestors and was overcome with emulsion. During a flight to Saudi Arabia, BA managed to lose a coffin - it's bad enough waiting at the carousel when your suitcase doesn't come round. Liz Hurley announced her plans to star in an 007 James Bond spoof and there was a part for Hugh Grant, a sort of cross between Blofeld and Oddjob. That's right, he's called Oddfeld. And J. Howard Marshall died at the age of ninety. He was the multi-billionaire who was, for the last eighteen months of his life, married to the amply curved Anna Nicole Smith. The only man to die and leave heaven."
