| Light Lunch | |
| Light Lunch was a talk show with a difference. Airing live at lunchtime, guests were invited to dine and chat at the same time, with the bubbly and very funny presenters, Mel & Sue. |

Sue made a comment about Alice Beer's and supersmooth, synthetic swinger Bob's hairstyles being similar. They didn't know who was most insulted. |
| The topic of conversation got round to mummy's boys which is of course Bob's Mastermind subject. He said his mum licks his hair down, he flicks it back and she licks it down and he flicks it back. He doesn't get out of the house for 3 hours sometimes. | |
| The show really was all about eating... |

With one move, which I'm sure isn't allowed on Come Dancing, Bob was nudged off stage. |
| Not to be outdone, Bob returned in a little understated number. It did the trick and caught him a dancing partner. |

| Set free from the clutches of the Latin American beauty, Bob was able to finish his song, whilst still looking good. No visible panty line in this cossie. | |
