s4 ep07 Jesco goes to Hollywood and
Miss Anglia 1980
Bob digs out another familiar
sight for us Medinner viewers. Fred Dineage in a velvet suit and
bowtie looking for more beautiful birds in Norwich. Miss Anglia 1980
couldn't ever be as funny as Miss Anglia 1979 (cf: s4 ep4), but
still manages to scale heights of the rediculous. From a progression
of images of women trying- and failing- to smile to the fact that
Miss Anglia 1979 now seems to have been won by 'a drawing', there
are plenty of gags here. Fred makes up words ('embassadress?') and
the judges 'beaver away backstage', and the contestants tell some of
the most pathetic funny stories you'll ever hear.
