Watched it M.
They did the same coin routine they did for the "Penn & Teller Fool Em" programme.
Maybe we should send them a copy of Gary, & Lee's "iCandy" dvd
They may need some new material.

Unlike P & T who gave a lacklustre cups and balls.
And The lighting was duff, so as a result the tank didnt look right at all.

I agree Dale, the lighting should have been better, no excuses as they managed quite stunning lighting for other acts. As for strangling the goldfish Carl, are you sure you weren't doing Cups 'n Goldfish by mistake?

They're on after an ad break, about 45 minutes into the show.
It's been many years since I watched one of these 'Royal' shows and I was surprised to see how near the knuckle (and beyond!) some of the jokes went. Tim Minchin was rather rude but his 3 minute song was superb in terms of comical content and timing, obviously a very talented chap.

If you thought that was rude you haven;t heard some of his others
