Smithy at Sports Personality of the Year

My children are huge fans of Gavin and Stacey (I am too) and James Corden's Sports Personality spoof for Sport Relief was beautifully done.

Like Gavin and Stacey, the minutiae (alongside the moments of broad humour) was phenomenal. (How many noticed Smithy kissing Fabio Capello on both cheeks as he went to collect his award? There were numerous examples of this attention to detail.)

Gavin and Stacey is gloriously warm-hearted. It is also an ensemble piece, relying as much on the supporting players as it does on the main characters. So was this. Beckham, for one, played his part superbly.

Gavin and Stacey bears repeated viewing and so does Smithy at Sports Personality of the Year. Click HERE. You won't be disappointed.

I couldn't agree with you more, Simon. Brilliant stuff.

I must be a grumpy old man because I really don't find this shower even remotely funny. But I defend to the death your right to find them funny.

I was at the Sheffield Arena for the Sports Personality, and what was truly impressive was that the whole speech was done by James Corden in a single take with no editing, no mistakes, and no real opportunity for them either as it was done shortly before the main event started! (with 12000 people in the live audience!)

A truly talented man.
