Old-timer comes to life
Even so, after enduring decades of his nauseating Golden Shot and Opportunity Knocks persona (I still can't forget those scripted emotional outbursts, and those tearful, spontaneous donations to charity), how dare he now be so effortlessly and spectacularly funny? Few performers can switch comedy on and off like a tap, but he can, which is why Bob Monkhouse On The Spot is spot on.
