I take it nobody told this guy Squares already came back... Seriously though, wasn't there a report not so long ago that ITV were curbing all these revivals?

It's interesting* (and by "interesting", I in fact mean "poor") how that article spectacularly fails to mention that Paul O'Grady's version of the show was hosted in-character as Lily Savage, and essentially reads as if "he" (i.e. as himself) presented it.

It's a bit like writing that there was once "An Audience with Warren Mitchell", rather than Alf Garnett. As Lily Savage herself once said: "Most so-called "journalists" couldn't write their own name in sh!t during a dirty protest on the H Block!"

Didn't Paul host it as himself after a couple of years as Lily?

No. He did do some red nose day specials etc

No, before his chat shows, the only thing he'd pretty much done as himself were those travel shows (where he used to get drunk and slag off Carlton all the time)

I think Paul O'Grady did a one off as himself for that David Walliams 24 hour challenge, and spent a lot of the time saying how much he hated doing it originally.

Yes, he would be my pick out of the ITV stable though David Walliams a good shout.
