Anyone see...

The comic relief celebrity dance thing last night? Not the kind of thing I'd watch normally, but I was too lazy to turn it off.

I'm very pleased I didn't. Robert Webb, (of The Peep Show, and Mitchell and Webb) doing What a Feeling from Flashdance, complete in spangly leotard, legwarmers and Irene Cara wig was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! He's obviously either trained or naturally talented, and managed to do a superb dance, and make it funny, whereas the rest tended to be funny thanks to the slight incompetence of the celebs...

Hoorah! a quick google reveals that he won! (I had to go out and missed the results...)

See it here, starting at about 17min 30 secs in...

Fair enough. But it was funny! (much funnier than any of the others, much more like a proper comedy skit than just a couple of celebs arsing about...)

I just realised that under 'more from the BBC' was this clip from Friday's QI

I've always though Ben Miller was a bit dishy - should I be worried at just how much I enjoy this clip?

Digressing... in the original Flashdance film, the Jennifer Beals character was a cyclist - lovely old steel road bike.

Ah, I knew I'd got the wrong actress (never saw the film, myself!)

Should I be worried about watching that QI clip 4 times now?

No.
