The Best of Frank Skinner.

Absolute Radio.

This is Frank Skinner MBE on absolute radio

with the commoner Emily Dean

and the colonial Pierre Novelli. Wow can you believe it?

No I can't believe I'm a commoner. No I know it is shocking if someone came in here and said commoner I don't think you'd be the first choice but you know

You are I have to say Frank worryingly good at keeping secrets I'm discovering.

Oh yes.

Because I mean I would have had it everywhere, wouldn't you?

Pierre.

It would have been on the correspondence cards already.

The credit card would have been changed. The quote that people

have used mainly I've noticed in when they talk about veteran comic Frank's

kid at an FBE.

Is that, I said, I didn't tell anyone because I was concerned it might be an administrative error. But it wasn't a joke. I actually did think what

could be worse as Oliver Hardy would say than to tell everyone you've got an MBE and then it was like the man who did Skinner's dog foods, you know, that thing for working dogs.

And then, and on the day, like I've always, my heart has always bled for the woman from Rod Stewart's hot legs video, whose only her legs appear.

Imagine she said to her mom and dad,

I'm going to be in the Rod Stewart video, really excited.

Family Gather round MTV that night night and then it's just their legs.

So I didn't want to be that girl.

No you didn't want to be, I know someone who was airbrushed off a magazine cover once.
