Just before starting work last night i was flicking through the channels on the telly and heard the word ‘bingo’. My ears immediately pricked up and found out that Paul o’Grady was talking to Denise van Outen about her love for bingo on his afternoon chat show. It was a really nice minutes worth of positive chat about playing in club, I’ve attached the interview on here and it is about 5Min’s and 45 seconds into the piece if you just want to fast forward to it.
It was quite nice as well because I just about remember Paul’s alter-ego ‘Lily Savage’ promoting the bingo games about 8 years ago. I remember my first day at work in the store cupboard there was a 6ft cut out of Lily that the club had kept as a memento!!!! i also remember that there was that bingo sit-com on the BBC/I think it was called ‘full house’ that featured Paul o’Grady which was quite good, although it was a very outdated image of the bingo world………..the BBC should really release it on DVD, I would love to watch it again.
