The Brian Conley Show

Extracts from various episodes were uploaded to a dedicated YouTube channel, but was subsequently closed due to copyright claims.

The first two series were recorded in the Churchill Theatre in Bromley rather than a television studio, giving the show a "live" feel.

Whilst this had some fans unhappy, the show managed to pull in some famous guests including Leslie Nielsen and Kathleen Turner.

Nick Frisbee was a children's in-vision continuity presenter who had a squirrel puppet sidekick, Larry the Loafer (operated by Ray Tizzard).

Nick would read out letters, poems and jokes "sent in" by viewers with double-entendre names, and show spoof trailers for movies.

In the last episode, Larry gets his revenge on Nick by dropping a studio light on him when he appeals for the welfare of loafers.

He was occasionally joined by his scrawny helper, Nearly Dangerous Norris (played by Ray Tizzard) who dressed in a pink costume and often had no idea what he was doing.

She was a direct parody of Mystic Meg who appeared on the then newly devised National Lottery draws that aired on BBC 1 around the same time as The Brian Conley Show.

Only featuring in the third series, Conley's Car Boot Quiz was a game played by two members of the public in a bid to win £1,000.

This feature was retained in the 2000 revival, and had guests such as a "boneless" man, a supposedly juggling fly, and a scientist who had Conely lay down on a bed of nails and had a concrete block smashed on his stomach.

Similar to the original show, albeit performed on a stage rather than in a studio, it featured Conley's sketch characters, as well as considerably more songs and stand-up.
