Talk about Mark Lamarr begin a wideboy, the AR fail here makes him a literal wide boy.

Watched this live at the time. It was certainly interesting with Shabba Ranks as well.

I can't believe how rude the host is to Dannii.

[@towerbridge04]

It was Mark Lamarr's first appearance. Many years later he said that he hated the show and the producers encouraged him to be rude. To his credit Mark did apologise to Dannii at the end, and she realised he wasn't such a bad person!
