    I was worried when I saw the headline and, while shingles isn’t fun, it’s better than I was expecting. And we might get a good episode of Would I Like To You out of it somehow.

      Now I cant for the life of me recall where I saw it but I do remember seeing something that Bob Mortimer is not in great health in general.

        It’s part of the premise of the show as both he and Paul Whitehouse ha e dickie tickers (although, oddly, they aren’t overly specific of which bits of the rock and roll comedy lifestyle if the 80s and 90s would cause that 🤔 ) so they get out and about for a bit of gentle fishing.
