Blind Date
One lucky (?) lady from the audience was brought on stage and given a host of eligible (?) bachelors to choose from in the hopes of finding love. It's a tried and tested formula that always provides some laughs, and from dance moves in Coppers to baked goods and the promise of some martial arts action, it was definitely a rendition of A Star Is Born's Shallow that was the most memorable party piece.

A long way to Butlins
Kenneth Branagh recalled a childhood visit to Butlins - and the audience got a bit rowdy at the mention of all the rides being free...
