Can Summer be really over already? Well, no - patently not - but your hosts Ben Baker and John Matthews are at the final part of Pantosplaining's fond look back at the stars of "The Russ Abbot All Laughter Show" which packed in Great Yarmouth audiences back in 1982.

So what happens when Russ needs to put up his hooves for five minutes and the collective acts of Sommers, Lane and Dennis are spent? You call for de Courcey! A man of genuinely prodigious talents who found himself rocketed to stardom when he discovered a mad eyed teddy bear at a scout show but is a bit forgotten now. We right that wrong and remember a time where a puppet with a name that is slang for "sexual intercourse" could be fast tracked to children's TV.

Oh, and its probably not that Saxon Lucas.
