Look Who's Talking
1986
Look Who's Talking, introduced by Derek Batey, started life in 1972 as a local programme in the Border area. Introduced to bring theatre personalities into the homes of viewers. It was deemed so successful that it was soon networked across ITV. The first guest in 1972 was Ken Dodd by the way.

Short lived comedy series produced by Border Television for Channel Four.
Rowland Rivon plays an alien martian who meets Jools Holland, an out of work tv presenter who shows the martian what life is like in Britain. They both go off on adventures around the country in a stolen Rolls Royce. A brilliant series with observational comedy at it's best.
