One of the most awkward, uncomfortable TV interviews in British history 🫣
Back in 2003 on The Frank Skinner Show, Matthew Kelly sat down to promote a play… and instead turned the tables on Frank.
Kelly directly confronted him over “horrible gags” Skinner and @Baddiel had made on Baddiel & Skinner Unplanned while Kelly was under police investigation for historical sex abuse allegations (which were later dropped with no charges).
Kelly, clearly still raw from the ordeal, asked Frank straight up if he was “proud” of the jokes and whether he’d repeat them with him sitting right there.
To be fair to Frank, he handled it really well. He stood his ground, didn’t dodge or over-apologise, explained it was topical comedy with no malice, and even repeated the jokes to Kelly’s face on air! 😱
It’s actually very compelling TV, but you can feel the atmosphere in the studio, the silence, the squirming, and the awkward laughter. Watch for yourself 😬
Nigel Farage’s gamble to call by-election in Clacton has turned out to be a massive mistake as Count Binface who seems to be his only real competitor has made it onto #newsnight#votebinface and save the taxpayer £350,000 is surely an election winning slogan.

A statement from John Robertson’s family.
It is with immense pain and sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful husband, dad and grandad.
John passed away peacefully on Christmas morning with his wife and family by his side, after a long illness. Our only comfort in our grief is that his struggles are now over, and he is reunited with daughter Jessica.
“Robbo” was treasured by many as a footballing hero but to us he was just John and dad, the family man…kind, loving, witty, fun and loyal.
Although our hearts are breaking, we will always be grateful for the years we were privileged to share with him and the amazing memories we made. We will miss him every day and love him always.
John leaves wife Sharyl, daughter Liz and sons Andrew and Mark, as well as granddaughters Jess and Phoebe.
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Nottingham Forest legend and dear friend, John Robertson.
A true great of our Club and a double European Cup winner, John’s unrivalled talent, humility and unwavering devotion to Nottingham Forest will never ever be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with John’s family, friends and all who loved him.
Rest in peace, Robbo… Our greatest.
In Manchester in 2005, Oasis opened their hometown set with “Turn Up The Sun,” a defiant anthem written by bassist Andy Bell. The track, taken from the album Don’t Believe the Truth, marked the band’s creative resurgence after years of turbulence. Driven by a pulsing bassline and soaring guitars, it set the tone for a new chapter that felt both nostalgic and revitalised. Performed live, it carried extra weight, uniting old and new fans under the same roar of optimism that had always defined Oasis.
