Very late - but here's the details of Julian Clary's appearance on Room 101 :) Thursday, 16-Sep-1999 09:46:20 195.92.194.72 writes: Julian's appearance on Room 101 was expected to be full of homosexual innuendo and though there were plenty of double-entendres, it seemed to be Paul who was more guilty! When Julian chose boats to go into Room 101, on the reasonable grounds that once you're on one you can't get off it again, Paul informed him that he thought he'd just chosen it to crack gags "like being tossed on the ocean wave." Paul installed a special buzzer next to him which he then pressed every time he or Julian made an innuendo. It was pressed very frequently! Julian chose Celebrity Parties as his first item to go in, on the grounds that you were always forced by the sponsoring magazine to be photographed with minor celebs who you'd never met or never heard of and rarely wanted to. Paul showed some photos of Julian's celebrity party appearances, including one of the two of them alongside Bob Monkhouse which made Paul look white, drawn and very ill, as Monkhouse's skin is renowned for being orange. Paul said: "No-one should look like me there. That's five days after death that is!" Celebrity Parties went into Room 101. There was a brilliant exchange between them which went like this: Paul: "It's my show - I can do what I like. I could have a w*nk in a flowerpot if I want." Julian: "Ooh - I wish I'd brought my camera." Paul: "I wish I'd brought my flowerpot." Then Julian talked about boats. Not only because of the "can't step off" reason, but also because of the hygiene facilities, where you have to share a dodgy lavatory with everyone else. Paul wouldn't put boats into Room 101, as the fishing industry would collapse, as would the navy, and Paul added: "It would mean the streets of Portsmouth would be awash with discharged seamen." (Buzz) Julian bizarrely chose the left hand side of his face to go into Room 101 as when he is without his make-up he has a huge birthmark there and is paranoid about it. He said that if he was lucky enough to be sleeping with someone he tried to stay asleep on the left hand side of his face so his partner wouldn't wake up and think "My God, I must have been drunk last night." Paul wouldn't let it in, on the grounds he'd have to cut his face in half and that would be unpleasant. They took both sides of Julian's face and mirrored them so he had two right hand sides and two left hand sides - Julian said the two rights made him look like Billy Idol, while the lefts gave him the dreaded centre parting. Julian chose spitting as his next candidate for Room 101 for the reason that it is nasty and unnecessary. Paul then tried the "eat three cream crackers in 30 seconds" test to prove the value of saliva and could not manage it. As he drank some water afterwards, his cheeks bulged out and Julian leapt in with: "You're wasted in the heterosexual world." Paul replied: "When I said I'd eat three cream crackers I didn't mean Cockney rhyming slang." Spitting did not go into Room 101. Julian's next choice was the countryside on the stereotypical grounds that "it's boring, smelly and they sleep with their children". This was the least inspiring moment of the show and didn't make it into Room 101. Julian's last choice was very poignant - he wanted the lifepsan of dogs to go into Room 101. This refers to his former stage partner Fanny The Wonderdog, who is now 18 and decrepit and Julian is sure she is just hanging on for his sake, as he can't bear the thought of her dying. He said that it is cruel and unfair when you get a dog and invest many of your feelings and emotions in this companion and then you have to watch them grow old and die. Paul agreed and the lifespan of dogs went into Room 101. This was a great episode as it put two sharp comic minds who knew each other well together and also because it showed a side to Julian beyond the homosexuality, outrageousness and puns. Of the eight episodes in this surprisingly good series (I didn't think Paul would be a good host compared to Nick Hancock, but he did well) it was the funniest next to one mentioned previously involving BBC chief political corrspondent John Sergeant. Roll on the next series!
