“Vaughany”

The Independent has an interview (be quick, it’ll probably disappear into a subscription area in a week) with Johnny Vaughan today – or Vaughany as he seems to be called in the text.
Just one small point on Fighting Talk: “Naturally, the Americans are all over it and want to buy the rights.”
Erm, isn’t this programme basically a reworking of several American shows that air on the likes of ESPN and get a showing on NASN over here? I’m thinking of Pardon The Interruption, Around The Horn and Rome Is Burning.
Fighting Talk is a certainly an enormously entertaining programme, and I’m looking forward to hearing the mp3 of this week’s show which had Terry Wogan standing in for Christian O’Connell. But original?
