He's the British equivalent to Howard Cosell. This would be a very big deal in England.

I once attended a recording for the radio show "Quote, Unquote" back in 1977. The guests on the show were Anna Ford, Malcolm Muggeridge, Spike Milligan, and Terry Wogan. I just remember the recording being hysterical.

If it involved Spike Milligan ... it would have been manic!  One of the funniest men to ever walk this planet!
