Sport Relief

Ok not an idea that I thought would work. Some Z list celebrities, some fences, some horses and why on earth - Angus Deyton, call it something like another very popular programme and Kirsty Gallagher to pretty it up and it'll raise money for charity.
In a word NO.
So I'm eating my words.............
Only Fools On Horses is absolutely superb and yet it is all the above things!
Rumour that GRAMBO has not been watching it because she doesn't like David Jason are completely false, I think
There's action, tension, judges, viewers votes and everything else that the wonderful British public demand of proey's like this and it's all put together in a really unique way. After Strictly Ball Room on Ice or whatever it was called this programme is the best of them all turning absolute newcomers in some cases in to real stars by riding a horse around a show jumping course is a remarkable achievement and full credit to everyone involved.
It's the final later today and for what it's worth my money is on Nicky, 'Band Aid and Paracetamol' Chapman to win. If only because when she was deposited on her backside and obviously hurt the first thing she said was "Is the horse all right?"!Of course you do know that if she doesn't then I probably won't mention the proey again don't you?!
However the winner has to be Sport Relief and each of the wonderful horses and the viewers for being able to see Kirsty for 8 nights in a row and on the Beeb!

Moral to the story :
"You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink and you can put Angus Deyton in a good proramme but it doesn't make him good"
