That's right guys, Mr Barry was on Paul O Grady again tonight along with Sir Michael Caine!

Any body see it? Not really his best slot, but then again he didn't really have all that much air time!

Have to be honest, im getting bored of seeing him on Paul o'Grady!!

Know what you mean, he did the same effect again, S&S!

Their agents, or them themselves, are probably friends or do a lot of business together and if ever they are short of a guest, he fills in!

Ah, but didn't Paul say he wanted to see it again because it's his favourite trick?

That doesn't mean the millions of viewers at home did:)

Ah, but isn't that just a piece of rehearsed justification for him wheeling out the same old material as last time?

And what happened to never showing the same trick twice to the same audience (or chat show host)?

Seriously mate, does that really sound like the real reson, or is it just easier to believe?

I know the guy isn't short of material, but I can't think of a reason why he would deliberately choose to do the same thing as last time.

Unless somebody somewhere messed up and they only realised that they were in for deja vu at the last minute... at which point the repetition must be done by special request of the host.

Yes I'm cynical, but I find it hard to believe that it was a deliberate repetition.

or maybe the producers decided that they didn't want Keith to do the material he'd prepared, and they had to fall back on an old favourite...

I still remember when the producers of The Word cancelled performances by CopShoot Cop and The Fall at the very last moment, in favour of Terry Christian and Gabrielle singing 'Last Christmas'. I very nearly put my foot through the telly that night.

I've only ever seen one thing of his and that was his TED talk, which - without meaning to negative - was absolutely atrocious. Can't imagine why they'd have him on O'Grady four times in eighteen months.
