We even don't how it should be spelled!
And should there be any expectation that Borisism might mean the same thing from one month to the next?

I miss the Hughie Green and Bob Monkhouse ("Bernie the Bolt") shows.
Class acts.

Entertainers of that era had prodigiously long careers: Forsyth, Monkhouse etc. 

I am pretty staggered that Nicholas Parsons still does Just A Minute now, at the age of 96, having started on the stage in 1945.

He would be good in the team. The only concern  is that he would try to bend the rules.
