[Chris Redding]

That sounds like Eddie Izzard, who is a self-confessed 'mild' transvestite,
although he is not gay.
We have a tradition of that sort of thing here, but I don't know whether is
crosses the pond well. It's a bit like trying to explain Pantomime or 'Carry
On' films to a foreigner.

We also have a few other 'drag' acts. If you can, catch Lily Savage, who
plays the 'Antichrist' of Danny LaRue. Lily Savage (Played by a man called
Paul O'Grady) is a well time-expired Liverpool prostitute with language to
match. Would be on VERY late on US TV. (Here we have 'the watershed'...it's
clean until 9pm, then the gloves come off and almost anything can be shown.
Of course we are lucky in only having one time zone here).

I can't believe they are still showing Benny Hill...Not one of my favourites
to be honest.

Keep it coming.
