Just when you think it's safe to pop down to the beach, those pesky skeletons come up at you from under it. That's the last time I ever go to Skegness.

Skellingtons AND a Jimmy Savile joke? Well played, sir, well played.

Don't you mean that Jimmy should have been IN an institution? National or otherwise.
Poor old Jimmy. Will we ever see his like again?
