0:12:23 > 0:12:24do you say each bit aloud,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27each line aloud or something as you go through?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03and they're very up on it,

0:23:18 > 0:23:22Now, what a star in his day. He was massive, wasn't he?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24He was an enormous star.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29When you think, really, recording was in its infancy,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31films were in their infancy,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35yet he was known by millions and was hugely popular.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39And people say about Victorian audiences
0:23:39 > 0:23:42that they liked simple things and simple humour.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Wasn't so with Dan, he was very off-the-wall,

0:23:49 > 0:23:52and Monty Python and all those things,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and you can believe it, some of the phrases he used.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57But that kind of humour that was...
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I'm tempted to say innocent and much less slick than now.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16and all that sort of stuff.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It wasn't. Certainly wasn't as far as Leno was concerned.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I think that sort of...
0:24:21 > 0:24:25To try and describe what an individual comedian like Leno was,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29totally original to all the other comedians around at that time.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32But it's like trying to describe Frankie Howerd to somebody today.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35How can you describe that? Or Tommy Cooper.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You can say, OK, he did tricks wrong,
