Johnny Vegas: 18 Stone of Idiot
6 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
A bit of a rubbish opening titles with Johnny Vegas on a horse, but the show isn't. He always starts with weighing himself at 18 stone and then girls doing something quite dangerous to him while he sings. Every episode he is drunk and chats to a special guest. He also has a crap next to a grumpy monkey and we see inside his mind after the break. But in the show the best moments are TV Democracy where we see something we want to; My Favourite Things; What's Your Beef, Give Me The Gravy! and Johnny jumping over the celebrity, e.g. in a pram. Guests included Ray Winstone, Timmy Mallett, Terry Nutkins, Kathy Burke, Jodie Marsh, Elvis Costello and Rhys Ifans. A very manic but highly entertaining show, Vegas can be loud, but you get used to it. Johnny Vegas was number 16 on Britain's Favourite Comedian. Very good!
